Example Cutting and Bulking diets

Young Gun · 11-09-2006, 04:37 PM

Also drink as much water as you can. Aim for around 4 litres at least (so 8 pints)

I also eat a ton of nuts when doing low carbs generally any natural nuts are fine although cashews have a higher carb content. Brazils and almonds are good choices. Expensive though if you get through a lot

slimbob that can't be good for you eating that amount of fat, my diet contains 55% protein, 35% carbs and 10% Fat.

davidjparfitt if you read the whole post by slimbob you will understand his reasons.

10% fat is not enough (need healthy EFAs) for anybody, imo

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), 50 g oats

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

12.30 - casein shake

1.00 - sleep

BULKING

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?

Eating oats with whey protien will slow the absorbtion of the whey thus defeating the object of taking the shakes.

not at all, protein is protein... sometimes you want it fast, sometimes you want it slow

Just a thought!
I'd like to see a whole week plan drawn up for someone on a bulking cycle, one which everyone is moderatly happy with and a Tesco shopping list at the end!
I make more trips back to tesco during the week than to the loo!! (nearly)
Any thoughts?
