What are the macros/calories? Height/weight?

Seems rather restrictive. In particular looks like you are avoiding starch carbohydrates - is there a reason for that?

Bodybuilding diet don't have to have weird combinations of foods - and completely leave other food groups out. That way only leads to lack of adherence and possible nutrient deficiencies.

Better to just adjust what you normally eat so that you are
a) Getting the right number of calories and meeting minimum levels of dietary fat and protein
b) Getting a sensible amount of fruit and veg (but it doesn't have to dominate what you eat).

agreed with previous two posts. Need some more information. Also, there is no need to follow some kind of plan and eat the same type of food every day. Focus on macros and calories

Thanks for the responses.

I do not see it as restrictive. The Meat/seafood is where it shines for me. This is where I have variety. The fruits also give me variety. I do not want to name names, but this comes from a former crossfit coach of mine.. he said the meal plan is great for crossfit people. He uses it. I do not want to bodybuild to huge proportions, its counter-productive to my piloting career. Leaning out is my plan. Lighter I am, cheaper it is for me to fly... all that fun weight/balance aviation stuff.

The macros and calories counting is chinese to me. I do not know where to begin. Could 1 of you PM me with some info or guidelines/apps.. whatever it is.


Much appreciated guys.
