Hey guys, here's some info...


Weight : 172 (and counting... down the way)
Aim : ~160 (whenever I feel lean enough to bulk for a year)

I've been cutting since the 1st of March, I was 182, I'm hoping to finish it at the end of July but I want to be pretty lean for my holiday which is the 3rd of July, Magaluf with the LADs !!
Then I'll continue the cut for a few weeks in case I put on weight on holiday then I'm going to be bulking, for a long long time.

I have my workout log over in the teen section :

http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=144397211

I've been eating around 2000 calories, maybe a little less just now because I'm not in the gym (RC problems).
Trying for 200g of protein, ~100g of Carbs and ~80g of Fat

It' been working well but I'm gonna get some more cardio done just to try get my metabolism fired up a bit!!
And to allow me to eat a bit more ...

First day DONE!!!

Posted pics of the first stir-fry and a shake.

Also drink like 4-5 cups of green tea with cranberry extract every day, that's because it's my favourite.

50 g Pasta
1 Courgette

Right, feeling lean today, love this feeling, don't feel weak or anything, don't feel depleted or what have you, even though I probably am.

Didn't actually manage the gym yesterday for that elusive cardio sesh but hit it this evening and did some abs aswell.

Didn't eat till about 1:30pm today, what I like about breaking the fast later is only ever eating proper meals not wasting calories with weetabix or anything.

So, first meal was :

230g Chicken Breast
1 Courgette
2 Carrots
2 tsp Olive Oil
1 Pitta Bread

539 Cals 62g Protein 41g Carbs 14g Fat

Still got no cashew nuts, i'll pick some up on the way home from work tomorrow night.

1 Can of Tuna
70g Pasta Spirals
50g Cheddar Cheese
1/2 Cucumber

616 Cals 55g Protein 53g Carbs 21g Fat

That was about 6ish, I was just studying all afternoon so didn't feel the need to eat.
Then after the gym had a large meal of :

200g Chicken Breast
2 tsp Olive Oil
1 Pitta Bread
1 Courgette
2 Carrots
1 Protein Shake with water
3 Packs of Haribo

917 Cals 95g Protein 93g Carbs 18g Fat

DAILY TOTALS

2072 Cals 212g Protein 187g Carbs 53g Fat

So yeah, went over my 2000 calorie target but I did cardio and the machine gave a figure of 320 calories so i'll take the ballpark of ~300 as how many I burned. I then continued to abs for 10 minutes so definitely deserved those extra Joules.

Also, fat was a bit lower than I'd have liked but that was mainly the absence of nuts.

As I said, I'll get more tomorrow.

Right just a quick one today, can't be bothered writing it all up so in short today I had

2 chicken breasts
1 can of tuna
70g cheese
6 tsp olive oil
2 pitta breads
50g pasta
4 carrots
1 onion
1 courgette
1 protein shake

this amounted to

1809 Calories 192g Protein 141g Carbs 54g Fat

didn't really do anything today either, merely studied, worked (desk based) and eat so that was enough calories.

516 Cals 40g Protein 55g Carbs 15g Fat

Overall Total

2025 Calories 169g Protein 227g Carbs 46g Fat

Summary

Thought I eat too much but no, pretty much on target, having said that I have no idea how much mince was in the dinner, probably had more than that so maybe another 2-300 calories. I only had weetabix though because I had an exam at 9.30 this morning and I didn't fancy fasting through that. However, I did hit the gym yesterday so will have burned a load of calories anyway.

I am going to change to 2200 calories on lifting days and still the 2000 when not lifting, even if i do cardio, still keep it at 2000.

so, today
