Hi all. A lot of my training in weighted Calesthenics and my diet is some what reasonable. I try eat as much protein as I can and sometimes just have one big meal a day like half a grilled chicken with fries and maybe some grilled wings. I occasionally snack on fruit throughout the day.
I weight 14.5 stone and 5”11.
My problem is I hold a lot of fat on my sides and lower back.
What would you guys recommend in terms of diet. I try not eat anything during the morning but I feel like this is wrong. Also when I eat lots of protein ie 6 eggs, I’m not full which results in me eating more.
Thank you for this. So what I’ve done in the past is, 6 boiled eggs on their own , 2 scoops gold standard whey, tin of sardines and 2 chicken breasts. But because I’m not consuming carbs, I believe this is what make me hungry. I could be wrong
That’s like 1000 calories. Of course you’re hungry. I don’t think it has anything to do with macronutrient ratios, it’s just an absolute calorie question.
Edit: unless I’m misreading. Are you saying those are your protein foods and you also eat other foods? If so, that appears to be just under 1g per lbs of body weight, which wouldn’t be a particularly high-protein diet (at least in this context).
Again, what I would do is eat meat and eggs when I am hungry and stop eating when I am not hungry. If I got hungry again, I would eat meat and eggs again. It sounds like you are stopping while still hungry
Absolutely dude! To echo what @TrainForPain has said and further your question: 6 eggs, for me, is the SIDE of what I’m eating. This was my meal last night
I did not eat ALL of those deviled eggs, no, but I DID have 6 eggs worth alongside those 2 ribs, and some grassfed beef sausage. And the eggs were actually “clean”: I used grassfed sour cream and cottage cheese to make the base, rather than mayo. Ribs are just smoke and some grassfed ghee
And this was what I ate the morning of a grappling competition
Im not a nutritionist or dietician or personal trainer…
I think you need about 100 cal from carbs for your liver to function, and another 130 for brain function(some minimal amount I could be off a bit)… your body is going to be converting protein to glucose by gluconeogenesis if you too low on carbs. I do a zero sugar, zero flour diet, and if you dont get enough carbs you wont replace the glycogen you burn out of your muscles when you workout(ATP use glycogen in anaerobic functioning, aka lactic acid build up).
If I go low carb on this diet I get lactic acid build up in seconds, just going into a squatting position. Thats when I know Im too low on carbs…
I do a large bowl of no sugar shredded wheat in the AM(along with 4 eggs), ezekial bread and turkey for lunch (you can do 2 large sandwiches for lunch if you want more protein, one at 11 for example and one at 2 or so)… then tofu or any meat(besides beef) for dinner and any veggies, beans, whole grains etc…
No beef since the heme iron(makes it color red) kills the cilia in your stomach, not good
Your liver is directly attached to your stomach so good liver and gut health may be one of the most overlooked aspects of nutrition… I didn’t think much about it when I was boozing and downing multiple servings of protein powder every day… Some great options for good gut health are olives, pickles… anything pickled/fermented…
Well that looks delicious. You can puree hardboiled eggs, ghee/olive oil, vinegar, and some water and seasoning to make a mayo for some hot egg on egg action.
Appreciate the suggestion there. I’d have to omit the olive oil, vinegar and seasoning myself, but I imagine I could get creative if so inclined. These days, I find I really care more for sour cream than mayo.
Mine is telling me that your body doesn’t sound fat adapated.
I did this on Friday and experienced no soreness, despite having no carbs
