Nutrition Check-In Thread

[Kid McNamara]

Meant to run in parallel with the gym thread.

Getting a handle on nutrition is the only way to reach our physique goals, but it's much more difficult than going hard at the gym because it's an all day thing.

Post your goals, link to your nutrition logs, or whatever else.

I am cutting right now

275/125/44 P/C/F. Doing OK for the most part, throwing in some refeed days.

Gonna be on a boat on the lake this weekend so I'm doing a little water cycling right now. High key I think it might be working. Good gawd I am so sick of water though. Def looking forward to the off day.

Been cutting since February and I cook nearly all my meals so I am basically dialed in. Prob at my leanest in years but I wanna see how far I can get without supplements and shyt. I'm having fun :scumbag:

275 Protein?

That sounds.............insane.

I'm on a slight cut. I don't worry too much about macros, other than protein which I try to hit about 160-175 every day....but calories are always under 2500.

 

[Da_Eggman]

275? Geez you must be shytting up a storm

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

My shyts are excellent.... I get 30-40g of fiber a day and 120 or so g of that protein is from shakes

Just smashed some Taco Bell

Bout to head to the gym and suffer

Great thread

Skipped breakfast

Lunch: Chicken Breast with veggies

Pre-Workout Snack: Strawberries and Almonds

Post-Workout: Footlong Roasted Chicken Sandwich from Subway

Before Bed: Will have a protein shake with peanut butter, almond milk, and olive oil

Not the best day for nutrition but I did pass on free ice cream at work so I'm happy about that...

#1 thing for me is honesty, so I'm just going to keep it real.

Negatives:
- Had leftover candy from last night and spent the day polishing it off (~1300 Calories).
- Didn't actually have a plan, just sort ate randomly throughout the day.

Positives:
- I only ate ~2500 calories for the day.
- I resisted the urge to hit up a fast-food joint after workouts (I'm literally fighting 15 years of self-conditioning).

Tomorrow will be even better, just going to keep building.

[DonKnock]

Damn this thread but I know I need it

Thanks for having my back OP.

Today:

Cereal and a carb shake for breakfast

Sandwich and some fruit for lunch

Snacked on wheat thin pita chips, cheese its, and peanut butter crackers throughout the day

Pizza with the family for dinner

fruit smoothie with whey protein after dinner snack

Was pretty busy today and I didnt get enough calories for lunch

Gonna try to get quantities for tomorrow

I've really cleaned up my diet. I used to get weekly pizza but it's too much sodium and too calorie dense. I can get a whole meal in for the calories 4 slices of a medium cost me and I don't have to intermittently fast afterward to stay close to my 2200-2400 target for daily calories. Yesterday I'd gotten off work and only had 1000 calories and wasn't even starving.

Had a fruit smoothie (vitamix frozen strawberry and grape with on whey mixed in) for an early snack. Has scrambled eggs with turkey sausage and hash browns and broccoli or breakfast. Had my typical broccoli cheddar vitamix soup with an aunt millie's slimwitch and a half slice of muenster cheese and two slices of lunch meat turkey breastfeeding for lunch then three servings of diced sautéed potatoes a whey shake and a turkey burger sandwich with enemies bread (look it up if you don't know) for dinner.

My only mess up was the pack of pop tarts for desert.

2113 total calories, 310 carbs, 135 protein, 52 fat, 2115 sodium, 98 sugar

Been reducing my intake for a while now, whilst upping cardio, Veags and LA next week


Nothing really crazy, just reducing cals by 500-700, carbs low and tend not to eat much rice etc in the evening.

I'm a fan of IIFYM and it works good for me, I track what I eat on a spreadsheet too, so easy to do spesh with my 8-4 Mon-Fri job, its just routine for me.

Only had porridge and 2 cups of coffee so far today, but its a Friday, day off gym, diet out the window lol

I try to be in a deficit on my training days, Sunday to Thursday.

What ive noticed is that, if it isnt in my house, then I wont eat it. My weakness is crisps (potato chips) can easily eat about 6 bags in a row lol

Drinking more water and hardly any fizzy drinks, when I drink one Ive noticed I don't really like it.

Good luck to everyone, I seriously suggest tracking what you eat, it helps so much, I even think of it as a game lol I try and see what low cals or carbs I can eat in the day but not fill hungry.

I've made the commitment to a daily food log and a weigh in daily to every two days for the rest of my life. It's just too easy to get away from these habits and that's how weight regain happens. Once you become obese your body remembers that and pushes you back to get to that weight. The extra fat cells and all its just too easy to fall off the wagon and blow back up.

I weigh myself once a week, I dont get too fussed about being a certain weight but of course dont want it going too high, main thing is how i look and how my clothes fit.

I eat good during the week. Its the sippin I do on the weekend ( vodka) with those ICE flavored waters. But I eat mostly chicken breast, fish, and greens, lots of broccoli and hardly any bread or rice. Have a lot of fat around my stomach over the years so I just have to be patient. I do indulge in My wendy's triple and asiago chicken sammich one of my days off. maybe some Ice cream if im wanting some sugar
