I'll be following big dawgy... :headbang:
Yeah bro time makes it hard but I added a solid breakfast in a year ago, before that I would just have a shake, and the solid breakfast helps.
I just eat 6 eggs, 2 whole and 4 white. And I have 2/3 cup oats with a tablespoon of all natural peanut or almond butter and some agave to sweeten it. It takes only a few minutes to make, I would consider doing something like that so you start off the day with a solid meal that does not take time.
Since I jumped up to 5 solid meals a day plus shakes I have noticed a huge difference. I even keep most of my size over the winter when im on nothing (accept maybe gh or peps, but no aas at all)
Give it a try if you can. But I would definitely try to get protein up, i eat more protein than you when im on no AAS.

That's basically my schedule now. I admit I have been looking better daily for the past 6 months so something is working. It's at the point where it feels like a slow recomp.
My schedule now is wake at 6am. Eat something minor on the go like a bar or shake or nothing at all. Then eat lunch somewhere between 12-3pm. Train at 730pm with intra carbs (50g). Eat dinner at 930pm and continue eating till I go to bed around 12am.
I need to push things to the next level. So I need to get into a better routine. IF is great for cuts and recomps. Won't work in my opinion to pack on another 15lbs on this frame. It also has been helping my slin sensitivity eating this way so nows the perfect time to pound down the food!
Definitely keep having breakfast. You don't eat lunch till late so it is a must for you gaining muscle. Plus a shake only takes 1 min. See if you can get that mutant one... it will make breakfast enjoyable.
Rambo I have had an awful day. To make myself feel better I want to eat 2 days worth of calories for you in about 30 mins
So your fasting once you go to bed, lets say 6 hours and then we add another 6 to 9 hours? You "may have a shake or bar during this entire time? Hey, your starving you body of nutrients half of every 24 hour period. Lets take the flip side. Any coach is going to have you eating something slow burning just before bed and then you wake to another solid meal. Then you would be eating approx 2 hours after that again and again. That's how guys eat to grow. It may not fit into your life style but that doesn't change "that's how to eat to grow". If I were you I would put 90% of my available energy into a meal plan that can be implemented into YOUR life style. When I was on the go I would carry around cans of pop top soup in my truck with me. Bean soup, Hungry man chilly. I would read the content and if I could just drink and eat it out of the top of the can I did. With all do respect to all the guys selling protein powder. I just didn't ever really respond well to it. Sure, popping the top off a refreshing can of cold soup at 10:30 am is tuff, but if you want to grow you MUST start making food a regular part of your day. "a regular part of your day".
Damn Rambo, your SOoo smart about the peps and gear and your just letting this escape from view buddy. Please feed this shit. If you don't your going to be orbiting the same body weight and dimensions forever. I have seen your gains and know you can grow. This IS how to get to the next level. I promise you.
The more I read of this the more your reminding me of a much younger me.
Food is everything. I learned the hard way. I paid for guys like Shelby to drive the message home.
The reason you need to know your maintenance calories is so you can bump in 500 calorie margins and not get fat or even smooth. Once you have roofed the growing you bump it again. When you have roofed the food you then look at an increase in other areas of your program or come back down to a cruise. I could go on and on...... I think you know all this though. I really want you to do well. That's the only reason I'm taking with you. Best of luck!

Find protein powder you really like. Syntha 6 banana with milk. Or any syntha 6 flavor, cookies and cream, it all sounds nasty but god it's good
I used myfitnesspal for months on end during my cuts and maintenance periods. That's how I came up with the 2000-2500 maintenance and as low as 1500cals to drop fat. As I get into a better routine it will be easier to see where I need to be at.
Thanks for following bro!
Yea brother my current routine is shit, that's basically what I was trying to paint the picture of. It works fine to maintain for me but it's not going to work to take things to the next level. I didn't mean that's what I was going to follow for this going forward lol, that is where I am coming from currently was my point. So the idea of Intermittent Fasting as rmtt suggested is a no-go in my book because that would be basically what I was already doing which is not going to cause new growth since that's what I used to maintain.
Yea it was terrible. I barely was able to train. Just kept hitting the stairmaster. The fat melted off though so it was well worth it!Isn't is crazy how low some of us have to go to drop fat...im in the same boat and its damn near starvation lol
My diets simalr to yours bro...i have a small snack pre workout.. Then post workout larger meal but nothing to crazy. Then 5 hours later about the same. Then when i get home after work i just eat untill i go to bed. That just how i like to do it.
Rambo you are one of the guys I look up to a little bit on here. You have been in really good shape. I'm in the same boat as you with diet. I kinda just know what I need when I need it... I'm becoming more regimented though because I need to control for variables.
I think 4 meals is completely reasonable. For more cals just add two shakes in per day on training days man.

Yup. I'm the same way on it. After taking a break from peps the stuff hit me hard. I was at work staring at the donuts in the vending machine. Lol. I backed off, coworkers know I eat clean and bring food from home.With all the ghrp 6 you are taking its hard not to eat like a savage! I am about to jump on some myself after 20 minutes I eat an entire meal, 3 bowls of cereal and Im still hungry but I have to stop myself if not I feel sick. Worse problem about eating to grow is all the damn gas you get from the eating. Some flax seed oil always tends to help to get everything moving in the right direction.
