    calculate your personal goals

    whatever you eat whenever you eat on a daily basis to meet these goals is irrelevant.

    Without knowing your TDEE and goal (bulk / cut), nobody can tell you what will work. The names of your foods have nothing to do with your resultant body composition. This is why Kris Gethin's diet is BS ... because he tells you you have to do certain things which you don't, primarily to get you to buy supplements.

    You need to find your TDEE and macro needs with the sticky from post #5, and then fill those cals and macros with foods you enjoy and consume them any time of the day you prefer.

    Do you do a ridiculous amount of cardio? If not, that is way off.

    A 5ft10, 160-170lb male with reasonable body fat level, who goes gym to do weights 3-4 times a week will have a TDEE of around 2500z

    Please no one say anything rude or mean to me for this as i am not suggesting its 100% true.

    I also agree it does not matter when you eat expect for one thing.

    If you are trying to bulk or maintain muscle mass, shouldn't you eat relatively close to bed time? Your body will be on a 6-9 hour fast depending on sleep time.

    So if you eat 3000 cals, stop eating at 5pm, go to bed 7 hours later at midnight and sleep for 8 hours, thats 15 hours without any calories. Isn't this bad?

    No it's fine. Your body won't go catabolic (besides the constant flux)

    When to take supplements depends on what you have...as for food try to get in some carbs and proteins prior to workout and more protein and simple carbs postworkout. At the end of the day as long as youve hit your macros and gotten enough calories youll be good. Hope I helped a little

    guy with your height and weight working out a few times a week will have TDEE approx 3000 calories.

    Why don't you eat 3000 cals for 1-2 weeks and see what happens to your weight to get a picture

    no need to be that neurotic. eat x amount of calories, weigh yourself one sunday then the next. adjust accordingly. for a guy your size you should lose pretty well in the mid 2000s

    "Never attempt to train yourself into a caloric deficit. Don't spend hours on the treadmill. Diet comes first, cardio second. The dumbest fat loss strategy ever devised is used by people that wake up early in the morning before going to work to do cardio and follow that up with "recovery shake." Congratulations, you just wasted two hours of your life." Martin Berkhan
