HEy guys,
I have taken a few weeks of training, and have decided to get back into it asap. I had recently read John Berardi’s article on carb cycling and thought I’d give it a go ( The Carb Cycling Codex ).
I have calculated alll my stats according to his methods, would like you guys to check and see if its good to go!
age: 26yrs, weight: 77kg, height: 185cm
I require 2990 calories to maintain my current size/weight. Add an extra 20 percent and I would require 3588 calories to gain muscle.
as fort he diet, I would require 1.5g of protein for each pound of body weight ( 169.4 lbs x 1.5 = 251g of protein) I would require the same 251g for carbs and 175g fat - this would be for the moderate days.
for the high car days I would increase carbs by 125percent which would bring it up to 313g. The fat and protein would remain the same.
for the low carb days I would reduce it by 75percent, and the fat and protein would also remain the same.
Apart from this I would lalso be taking MD shakes pre workout, Surge Recovery post workout, Flameout capsules 3 times daily, and zma before bed.
I do have a family history of high cholesterol, will this nutrition I have listed effect me??? Will any of the protein shakes efeect it as well???
ALL YOU OPINIONS WILL BE MOST APPRECIATED!
THANK TOU…
Kav.
