I know people will say i should be bulking but i started at 111lbs and am now at 167lbs in 1 year 6 months. I have put on a lot of fat.
This is my cutting diet, every chicken and rice meal consists of 90g of brown rice with 125g of chicken two table spoons of mixed veg and one tea spoon of good oil (rich in omega 3)
7:30am Two weetabix and protein shake
10am Chicken and Rice meal
1pm Chicken and Rice meal
3pm Protein Shake and one rice cracker
5pm Chicken and Rice meal
6pm Protein Shake (pre workout)
8pm Protein Shake (post workout)
8:15pm Chicken and Rice meal
10:30 Casien Shake.
I also take Multi and Omega's with most meals and drink only water.
Sound OK for a beginner?? Am i eating too many carbs??

Too many shakes (unnecessary)
Diet is bland and boring.
Eating that often is absolutely unnecessary (although its up top you).
You have provided no daily macros so any advice would be trivial.
Start by reading the stickies at the top of the Nutrition forum to calculate your daily macro/cal needs. Then fill said needs with foods you will actually ENJOY eating. There are no "magic bodybuilding foods".The above statement/post does not represent the opinions of anyone in real life. This is the internet. Not real life. Anyone who cannot grasp the difference between the two lacks the basic intelligence necessary for survival and should not be allowed to form opinions.

Thanks bro ill try and work out the cals and macros.
Great vid lol,
i heard i should have fat with every meal, is one teaspoon of oil too much?
Its not that bad actually, im on my 3rd week now, having the same every time makes it very easy to cook for a week and freeze.
Im only getting about 200g of protein from that diet with shakes, i dont think thats too much?
should i not be eating every few hours to stop muscle loss??

Shakes are not neccesary. They are just liquid forms of food. What I usually tell people is to lose the shakes and eat real food, but in your case, I would actually prefer a shake to counter the chicken/rice party you got going on.
Also, 200g of protein from shakes alone?
And no, the notion to eat every few hours to stop muscle loss is a ridiculous and unfounded myth, perpetuated by misinformed people.
Eat more fat. Eat more enjoyable/delicious food. Calculate your macros/cals and fill them with food you enjoy.The above statement/post does not represent the opinions of anyone in real life.

Not trying to argue but she says "The calorie expenditure associated with eating.... REGARDLESS of what myths you have been told - this is NOT dependent on MEAL FREQUENCY"
She is talking about total calories in a 24hr period i.e if you eat more calories than you burn you will gain weight. She does not comment on protein synthesis.Last edited by ELDRAW44; 03-23-2011 at 02:18 PM.

Ok, I am going to try to help you one more time ONLY because once upon a time (long ago) I used to believe the same bro-science nonsense about meal timing, and it took some regulars on this forum as well as my own knowledge of biophysiology to set me in the right path.
Read this: http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/res...ch-review.html
And if that is not enough evidence for you, read these:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11319656
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19943985
Start doing your own research into these things bro. Get your head in the game.The above statement/post does not represent the opinions of anyone in real life. This is the internet. Not real life.

You have to have some minor variety. Personally, I've given myself a challenge to eat the same thing everyday. But my "gimme" is that each meal is varied.
Meal 1 - 4 eggs, 1 cup of oatmeal, 1/4 cup of cheese (made into a oatmeal omelet w/ Franks) w/ a protein shake/coffee blend
Meal 2 - Tortilla turkey roll up
Meal 3 - Large bowl (don't remember the exact numbers) of a 15-bean beef stew I made
Meal 4 - 2 cups of pasta with a 6 ounce diced chicken and 1 cup of steamed veggies, dressed with a homemade mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, and dijon mustard
I will be premaking the stew (sectioned into pre-measured containers), the diced chicken, and the dressing the day before I start this one week challenge. I don't have the numbers with me right now, but this is something I will start on April 1st (no pun intended). If it works, I'll try for two weeks the following month. My final goal will be to be able to do this for an entire month. Why bother, you ask? Why not? It is a test of my willpower.Short term Goal: To cut back before bulking like a demon.
Mid term Goal: To find myself.
Long term Goal: To get what's mine.
67 lbs in 9 years and still counting... (started at 100lbs)
It's a hater's job to hate. So let them hate...
