Cutting phase: Diet plan
This video shows two diet plans I have for you guys. The first diet plan is for you guys who like to get up and workout in the morning. The second is for the arvo people. At the end of the clip I have allocated two links to download the word document files for printing. Print it off and stick it up in the kitchen!!. The diet plan will be your friend for a while 
.
so what is your recommended protein:carbs:fat ratio?
Something like 40:40:20? 50:30:20?
its all about cutting carbs
@43Steelerss I train Monday – Friday and having weekends off. I perform cardio on weekends, no weights. First 3 meals of the day I will include carbs. (Post workout I have a simple carb to replenish glycogen ).Rest of meals 4,5,6 etc… no carbs + i will add some fats later in the day along with my last meal before sleep. On the weekends my first 5 meals will be carb meals so what i’m doing here is preventing my metabolism to getting used to the diet.
@43Steelerss Generally 1-1.5 grams per pound of bodyweight is ideal. make sure you’re getting at least 1 gm per pound, going a little over shouldn’t have any consequences with regards to gains. If u decide to have low carb/high carb days during the week I would suggest on low carb days to increase your protein slightly and increase fats. On high carb days keep protein normal and reduce fats.
i mean is that enough 1 g protein per pound of my body??
how many grams of protein you would recommend for a cutting diet .. i got 1 g per pound of my bod but somebody told me that i should a little more when i’m cutting ??
Yeah I can’t stand plain chicken either. It’s ok to add herbs, spices, a bit of salt on your meats, just so long it’s not excessive. You can also try adding chopped chicken breast to your rice instead of having the meat by itself. You should be cooking most of your food. Get yourself a grill like the George Foreman grill and cook all your meats on that. I also use artificial sweetener for my oatmeal to add some flavour.
I can handle egg white, ground-up chicken burgers with lettice and fat free mayo, a carb blocker on the side, I can handle Fiber One cereal, i can handle oatmeal . . . anything but plain chicken, or fish … and heaven forbid i have to actually cook something. lol
Does Creatine make you retain water?
No. Creatine draws water from the body to do its work. There is a difference between cell volumization and water retention. Cell volumization leads to more water inside the cells, making the muscle bigger and firmer. Water retention, the process that makes the muscles look smooth, happens outside the muscle cells.
