I didnt want to trash @Andrewgen_Receptors training log with MY eating so ill just post it here :
Meal 1 - also pre-workout meal - is usually sandwiches with cheese, meat, pickles, mayo and stuff. Aiming for around 1000-1500kcal and 60g of protein. If i bulk i will also eat half a bag of chips or nachos with my sandwiches.
Gym time - drink 1 monster drink with sugar.
Meal 2 - straight after the gym i take double portion of beef gainer and double portion of beef protein. If i bulk i will also eat half a bag of chips or nachos, or a slice of pizza with this.
Meal 3 - about an hour or two after the post workout shake i will have some real food - rice/pasta/potatoes - around 1lb of cooked food with around 1lb of dark chicken meat or pork meat. Sometimes ill just use canned beef or smth like that if im lazy to cook the meats. If i bulk i will eat a box of chocolates with this.
Meal 4 - the last meal of the day is ordered - burgers, pizza, chinese, or home made chicken wings with home made fries, with some mayo, and later popcorn or some chips, candy or snacks. Today i had wings and fries and a box of brownies.
If i would bulk i will push snacks a lot, i will eat as much chips and chocolate as i can after each meal and i will also replace all drinks and water with sugary coke or fanta.
Nowdays on a “slow cut” as i call it - i eat like it wrote it up on my gym days. Cardio days start with a fasting and then i just do meal 3 and meal 4.
So far i have lost around 12lbs in 9 weeks which is around what i was expecting. Keep in mind that i have never had a craving, felt hungry or done a single minute of extra cardio that would be for a purpose of burning calories. All the conditioning and cardio i am doing is done because i need it and would do it exactly the same OR even more if i would want to bulk.
Sure, i could have lost these 12 pounds in 2-3 weeks but my goal this time is to try to gain strenght still. Or at least not lose any. And so far i havent lost it, in fact i set a squat PR a while back.
