Rebirth of the Juggernaut: Brute Force and Ignorance (Part 1)

Hey man, no problem. Granted, most of my nutrition is voodoo and alchemy, haha. For instance, when possible, I never mix carbs and fats. The science might be shakey on that, but that paradigm seems to keep me honest.

I have slightly different approaches for training days vs non training. On a day where I lift, it looks like this

0440-Wake up, eat 2 cookies, lift

0630-2 cups frozen mixed berries mixed with 2 scoops protein powder, 1 cup skim milk, 1 serving non fat greek yogurt, 1 cup fruity pebbles breakfast cereal

0800-1 cup greek yogurt mixed with protein powder (makes a pudding)

1200-12oz meat (eyeballed) and veggies

1700-12oz meat and veggies

1930-cheese and a pickle

For non training days, noon on is the same, but beginning is like this

0630-shake of 2 scoops whey, 1 cup 2%milk, cream (no idea how much, but enough to take the shaker to about 3/4 full when combined with the milk), 1 serving nonfat greek yogurt.

0800-12oz meat

Basically, I only eat carb sources near training, so I go higher fat on non training days.

This has been allowing me to maintain weight. When I want to gain weight, I make small changes. I will add a half an avocado to the day. Then switch to a 3/4 cup of cottage cheese for the evening meal. Then add a slice of bread to the post training meal. Then switch the cookies for weight gainer. I will sometimes add one more meal at 1000 as well, and usually eat more meat in my afternoon meals.

If I want to lose weight, I cut stuff out. Get rid of the cereal, then just 1 cup of fruit, then the yogurt in the post training meal, etc. Just totally slash carbs.

I am planning on gaining with my next phase. I am going to try to swap the cereal with honey, just to eat less processed stuff.
