what I ate so far today - unconventionality at its finest!
1 cup oatmeal crisp with berries half cup milk
290 cal
2 pizza pockets
540 cal
1 cup oatmeal crips, half cup milk
290 calories
1120 calories so far - goal is 2800 or less because tomorrow is going to be splurging tomorrow.
i havent decided if im going to go for a weekly deficit or a daily deficit.
i think the smartest path to continuous progress would be weekly, so if you eat too much or to little one of the days its no problem you just make it up!
if i ate 2800 calories for today tomorrow sat and sunday that would give me 11 200 calories to use for the next 4 days. i think you could use this idea in 3 day span or 2 days or 7 or more. I think the smaller the better.
if i look at it in 2 days in this case it wont work because i would only have 5600 calories for today AND tomorrow which i might end up eating just tomorrow, but if i increase the span i can make it a lot easier to control the damage from the cheat day.
I think this is a huge mistake people make, they dont make up for when they go overboard, they just move on which i think will slow down progress a lot.

Have you ever looked into Skip/Shitloading type of stuff? A lot of really big dudes I know have had great success with it, myself included. It’s basically two steps forward, one step back. That one step back is filled with awesome pop tarts, candy, sweets, and all sorts of ridiculous carby shit. Might be right down your alley. :)[/quote]
haha yeah i read it and it sounds pretty awesome lol i deffinitely will be trying it in the future Ive heard a lot of good things from guys on these boards about it!
Spidey - thanks a lot man im going to keep doing my best and im sure ill get there in time no matter how long it takes - btw your looking pretty huge in the avi dude
the reason i think my idea might be superior to skip loading is because it is only moving forward. even if you have a day and you do have 6000 calories you can then take a period of time from there and organize your calories until its evened out. Im not a scientist but it makes a lot of sense to me, I can see it being good for breaking weight loss plateaus and maintaining strength aswell because if you feel weak or shitty then you can literally take a day and eat a lot more then would be a deficit for that day and not feel bad about it.
I might be using a smarter approach for peri workout nutrition its one from a very reputable nutritionist thats pretty popular right now
tbw= target bodyweight
pre, during and post shake (3 seperate shakes or meals are great too):
protein - .25gx tbw
carbs - .35x tbw
adding fat to the pre workout one would be a good idea because it will slow the digestion of the carbs etc.
i think the best timing of these meals is
pre workout shake or meal - 1-1.5 hours before
during workout shake - start either 10 minutes before or as soon as you start working out
post workout shake or meal - 30-60 minutes after
mine would look like 55g of protein and 80g carb at each meal. Im not 100% sure if ill follow this but it might be a good idea, after returning to my normal type of diet (types of foods) i feel happy, energized and had a hard time not going to the gym today
