Example Cutting and Bulking diets Ok quite a few people have posted diets for cutting and bulking in the last few days which have been pretty awful. So I figure we post a thread in which people give example suggestions so whenever someone posts an awful diet or asks questions on diet a simple link to this thread will be a great starting point.
Plus with the range of height weights and metabolisms we have on the site from Jay123 who has to eat a small country every day to grow to Devilsquest who probably could eat mars bars all day and would be Mr. O but for injury we should get a good range of diets to suit everyone.
Ok I'll shoot. CUTTING
9am - morning cardio
10am - whey protein isolate 2 scoops 56g in water (50g protein), 50 g oats
11.00 - 6 egg whites 2 whole, bowl of oatmeal
1.30 - 150g turkey/chicken/fish, sweet potato/brown basmati rice, broccoli
2.30 - pre workout shake - 1 scoop whey isolate in water 30 g oats
TRAIN
4.30 - post workout shake; whey protein isolate 2 scoops 56g in water (50g protein), 50g high glycemic carbs (dextrose, maltodextrin)
5.30 - 150g turkey/chicken/fish, sweet potato/brown basmati rice, broccoli
8.00 - 150g turkey/chicken/fish, sweet potato/brown basmati rice, broccoli
11.00 - 150g turkey/chicken/fish, sweet potato/brown basmati rice, broccoli

As Above but add peanut butter, milk, pasta, baked potatos and generally increase volume of food.
Also drink as much water as you can. Aim for around 4 litres at least (so 8 pints)
Note this may be too much or too little food for some it is dependant on you only trial and error will give you the answers. Try to get a good source of protein, slow digesting (low GI) carbs and good fats in most meals and you should be fine. Add EPA to meals in appropriate places and take multi vitamins
Anyone else?

Reason: Post workout carbs should be simple to get into the muscle cells faster.
