Hey guys so what everyones diet… as powerlifters I know most of us do not care about abs, how often do you eat cheeseburgers etc I try to stay 80% clean daily but trying to put on weight I seem to be hammering double cheeseburgers post workout…
Terrible but enough calories and protein lol

I don’t powerlift anymore, but my diet then was pretty much the same as now.
I’m trying to put on weight now, and this is my daily routine
0445-Wake up, eat 2 cookies and train
0630-2 cups of mixed berries, 2 scoops of protein, 2 tablespoons of PB2, a serving of fat free greek yogurt and 1 cup of skim milk all mixed together, along with 2 scoops or raw honey
0900-2 beef ribs
1200-1 can of sundried tomatoes, a lot of kale and some sort of meat all mixed together into a salad
1700-A lot of meat and veggies
1900-3/4 cup of full fat cottage cheese w/2 tablespoons of PB2 and half an avocado
On non-training days, I skip the cookies and the 0630 meal is a shake with 3/4 cup of full fat greek yogurt, some 2% milk, some cream, 2 scoops of protein and 2 scoops of whey
I allow myself 1 cheat meal a week. These days, it’s typically a 3 entree meal at Panda express with veggies instead of rice. When I get burgers, I knife and fork them and skip the bun.

If your diet is 20% cheeseburgers then that’s still 80% clean.
Worry more about calories and nutrients than the supposed “cleanness” of any food, you can get fat on anything if you eat too much of it.
YES! LOL…
Right now I’m just kind of maintaining so I’ll have low days and high days. I usually try and eat reasonable but I’ll slam some crap once in a while when I feel like I want it. I generally try and eat whole foods most of the time.
IMO, diets are typically goal oriented but like now for me doing maintenance, I typically gain easily so I pull back most of the time and when I drop a few I go ahead and have whatever I want; gain it back and then pull back again.
You might be wanting an example of foods too? So this week I ate a lot of greens(salad mix) with protein supps and a little bit of bread. Down 3-4 lbs so Fri I had Hot Head Burrito(kinda like Chipotle but way better) and Saturday I had 5-6 donuts and a couple slices pizza during the day and two sirloin hamburgers for dinner.
If I try and drop BW I will keep the cals in the 1500-2000 range particularly since I do no cardio and I find that my training doesn’t drop off getting plenty of protein during that time. Then once a week for one meal I’ll have whatever I want(usually no sugary stuff and more like meat/potatoes) up to 3000 cals in one meal. I still lose about 1-2lbs week doing that.
I’ve never tried to gain weight eating “clean” so I can’t really help you out there.

But I’m cutting sort of. When bulking I’ll add milk to all the shakes and increase the meat serving sizes.
Usually take out once a day. Just had some cinnamon buns for breakfast. Got a page of coupons for burger king so making my way through that. I probably have the worst diet on here.

Last I heard you switched to keto since you were borderline diabetic, what happened with that?
Me and you both brother. I fucking live on pop tarts, red meat and fast food. My goddamn lock screen is a beefy crunch burrito from taco bell

That was a while back. I’m still on metformin 2000mg a day. Has helped alot. Also found upping my fats drastically has helped. I still have bad days with sugar falls if I don’t pay attention and eat right. But, I’m doing alot better. I think the super high carb and very low fat diet lead to it more than anything. I was up to 1000g of carbs and 45g of fat for a long time. I looked amazing for me and was strong as hell but wasn’t worth how bad I felt.

It kind of shifts according to school and work.
If it’s a full day of class and then work, I’ll get up earlier. Whole grain waffle, couple of sausages, half a jar of salsa. However much water I wish to drink
Somewhere around 12-1pm I’ll go to campus cafeteria and stock pile a bunch of salad and toppings, decent sized thing of blueberry tea, and these cool peanut butter chilled bar thingys.
Late afternoon I’m rushing from school to get to work, and I just eat a bag of trail mix I keep in my car and water bottles.
If I get a break during work I just walk around eating samples. Another bottle of water
By the time I get home it’s either 12-1am and I’m tired so I just have an Electrolyte drink.
I stopped counting calories and go by how I feel. If I’m still full, I’ll cut out the trail mix, or skip eating at work. If I’m still hungry I’ll make myself stay up and make something when I get home. Usually it’s chicken, veggies, and half a jar of salsa. I have this habit of drinking salsa out of the can. Don’t know why.
When it’s getting towards that time of the month concerning mentruation, my entire appetite often shifts. During the first few days I’m not hungry so I’ll just drink fluids. Mostly from shakes and juice blends. The next few days I scoot everything back during the day, start off with a late breakfast and take away that last meal. Right as my period ends my appetite comes back full throttle, so I add in snacks, and one smaller meal before bed.
Usually during the week on lifting days
- Cup of coffee w/scoop of protein
- Pack of tuna
- Chicken or beef, rice, veggies
- Chicken or beef, rice, veggies
- 1-2c of coffee w/scoop of protein

19:30- Chicken and vegetable soup (about 300g of chicken).
22:00 - Either 6 eggs boiled, scrambled, fried depends how I feel and some porridge oats. Or if I’m lazy a protein drink with a pint of milk.
Snacks - Chocolate, cookies, milk, sweet Thai desserts, more chocolate, coconut and fruit.
