Heya =) Needing some *good eats* comments story inside.

[lawlorcoaster]

Heya guys, well, wow. Dunno where to begin.

Basiclly, a year ago I was weighing at 290+lbs, and absolutely no muscle. To now, I weigh between 220-240 and great muscle mass *went from a max bench of 200 to now its 320 area* While keeping BF down.


Well, as of feb. I kind of slacked off, I would become on and off with the gym, and realized it lately. I am a HUGE critic on myself and when I noticed just even the slightest increase in BF% I just freak out. I guess that comes with being a bigger person, turning into a better one. ANYWAYS.

Point being, I use dalot of supplements to aid me through that time,
(from EC stack, to normal staples ie vitamin, creatine, protein shakes, whiteblood / green bulge etc etc)


Well, as of late I have hit back to the gym, but I can't seem to shed off past this rut I am in, basiclly I can't get under like 230 and its pissing me off. And I have recently started NO COKES *I changed to only diets before* But now, I want change. I want the abs, I want to be more cut *I wanna stay in the 200 range being big, but I want more defintion. Not disgusting but you get the point. And I plan on starting a workout regimine / brand new style of eatting.


Before my workout consisted of;

mon/weds/fri/sat : I would do 2 muscles at a time workout, than after that was completed I did about 10-15mins of cardio.

But, since I have decent size now and I want to shed more lbs, but still keep leans. I need help, on suggestions of what to eat right *I know how to cook, I just need ideas basiclly* And what to keep on intake. I plan on drinkin tons of water / green tea etc etc. But its the actual physical foods I need help with on what to eat etc etc.


as far as workout regimine goes, I think I will be doing 5 days a week, 30 mins cardio + intense amounts of swimming, and I will actually be doing as many crunches etc as possible.

The supplements I will be taking are;


EC Stack *was on a 4 month break but I will be back on it now*

Fish Oil

Multi

Protein shake *gonna do some weight trainin of course* only 1 shake post workout.


Creatine *was thinkin of the purecrea stuff.


Any other suggestions or think of adding / removing supps let me know. Thanks in advance =)
