Hi folks,
Just need a bot of help with my current diet which was given to me by a lad at the gym. He has a supplement store and is a bodybuilder.
Im 5'10, 223lbs. I lost just over 5st last year thru SW and then started training in November last year. I still have a bit to lose as I have a flabby tummy.
My current diet is basically 200g Protein, 40g Carbs and 30g Fat which is roughly 1250cals per day. I up this to 1470 on training days. I lift weights 3 times a week and follow the SL 5x5 routine.
Ive read that this is a kind of keto diet but I think the Fat macros are too low???
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thankyou Adrian

*Edit because I made a mistake, lol
Your fat percentage is around 20% (if I calculated that right this time), which is okay, but you can increase it to something like 30% if you'd prefer. Maybe try it and see how you feel?0 -
Cheers mate Im happy enough at 30g I was just reading elsewhere that some recommend 70g and more0

Sounds like undereating to me.0

1250 calories for a man of your size/weight and training schedule is far too low which is probably slowing your metabolism. I'm shocked you can make it through your workouts!!
If I were you I'd add at least 600-800 calories a day along with 30 minutes of cardio 3x a week to start.0 -

agreed. For your height and weight, and because you're a man, you should probably be eating more than 1250.0 -
where's fruit and veg?0

I agree, you're undereating.0

I agree with everyone to few calories. Your also eating too much protein you only need 1 gram per pound of lean body mass the rest of your macro's should be figured off that.
We are about the same weight and I am cutting at 2500 cals. Being in such a large deficit and lifting your body wont be able to keep up after awhile.0 -
This is why taking nutrition advice from a random person at the gym is a terrible idea.0
-
The diet was given to me by a guy who has a supplement shop, he has done strongman events and is going for his first comp in bodybuilding. I told him I wanted to get rid of my fat. Im currently around 25-27% and would like to get to 15% if possible.0
-
So taking that I eat 200P and 40gC then i should increase my fat to 80g?
How do you add fat to your diet without adding carbs etc?0 -
Oil, less lean meat, butter, whole eggs, using whole milk instead of skim, using full fat items instead of reduced fat.0
-
Cheers sounds good to me lol0

where's fruit and veg?
I eat brocolli, cauliflower lettuce etc and Il have a banana before gym0
