*posted this on the main nutrition subforum but i got the usual "IIFYM" advice. should have known better*
So tomorrow I'm starting Dr. di Pasquale's Anabolic Diet and I've some few questions to ask. Currently I'm on a "normal"/IIFYM 2000 calorie diet (coming from a peak of 3000 calories back in December, current weight is around 165lbs and a lot of BF); in other words high carb/high protein/low-moderate fat.
1. It says in the book I should change up my calories every so often. For example during the weekends I could increase my cals. Can I just keep my 2000-calories the whole week through, and increase/decrease/maintain depending on changes ? I don't wanna make things complicated if it's not really necessary
2. di Pasquale lists a lot of supplements to use, i hope they're not all necessary as well ? i just have fish oil, fibre, mutivitamins, hydroxycut and protein powder. i'm not too sold on buying the rest of his prescriptions/formulae
3. if i'm getting this right, basically i go high fat/high protein/low or no carbs on weekdays, then high carbs/low protein/low-moderate fat on weekends amirite ? Here's where i'm a little confused : why do i have to lower my protein intake on weekends (10-15%) ? I always thought protein is the one thing that should always be constantly kept high no matter what (and i also train on saturdays)
i'm sure i have other questions about this, but will leave with these for the moment. thanks in advance hope anyone can answer
btw : so my diet looks like this 2000 calories, 25g carbs, 133g fat, 175g protein. of course changing this as needed on weekends
