There's so many people who are using drugs but don't have an honest clue about dieting.
The fact is your diet is more important than your training and way more important than your drugs.
Anyone who disagrees ill put money on it looks like shit with the above I'll guarantee looks like shit.
Any way, now on to the meat and potatoes.
Protein 4calories per gram broken down into amino acids.
Has to be turned into glucose before it is turned into a fatty acid to be stored as fat
Carbs 4calories per gram
Your bodies primary energy source. Has to be turned into glucose and then turned into a fatty acid to be stored as fat.
Fats 9 calories per gram.
Hormone production, digestion and a big portion of what your brain is made of is dha fatty acid.
Is directly stored as fat.
You do not need a ton of fat. Roughly 5grams per meal will suffice. If your diet is what it should be then you do not need to add any fat out side of maybe 2grams of dha and 500mg to 1g of epa.
Here's a place to start.
Divide into 6 meals.
On training days:
1g of lean animal based protein per lb
96/4 beef, chicken tenderloin or breast, egg whites, low fat fish, ground turkey breast, protein isolate only when you can't get in a meal and after training.
3g of carbs per lb of estimated lean body mass.
Rice, fruit, oats
Fats will come from your protein.
Non training days
This will keep your insulin sensitivity high and help ensure you're almost never storing carbs as fat.
1.25 g of protein For 6 meals
20g of carbs per meal
Salt the fuck out of everything.
Do not ever get thirsty.
Drink as many diet sodas as your heart desires. Drink atleast 2gallons of water with sodium in it a day
If you can't get in 6 meals use common sense and figure out the total for 6 meals and divide it into 3 4 or 5.
Fuck it just eat it all by the end of the day.
Now if you're trying to lose fat but start gaining fat( body composition is regressing or the scale is trending upwards) then lower the carbs from training days by 5g meal or add 10 minutes to the cardio you should already be doing 5 to 7 days per week.
Keep doing this everytime you stall.
If you're trying to gain muscle because you're lean enough to start growing (you look like you're about 4 to 5 weeks from being able to hop on a bodybuilding stage condition)
Then if the scale is trending downward add 5grams of carbs per meal until your performance increases and you're gaining roughly .5 to 1 lb every 2 to 3 weeks.
If you think that's not fast enough then that's explains why your fat and never really improve and keep wasting drugs.
Muscle gain is slow.
1lb every 3 weeks would be roughly 17lbs of muscle in a year. In 5 years that's 85lbs of muscle.
10 years that's 170lbs of muscle.
No you do not need to mini cut. How about just don't eat like an asshole and get fat and insulin resistant
