Thanks.
I definitely have one of those physiques that needs a pump and some flexing to come alive.
Thanks.
My weekday macros go from mostly protein with some fats to all lean protein and no direct fats as the diet progresses, so I cut out skirt steak, salmon, etc., when I'm getting to the last few weeks. The last 3 weeks have literally been just chicken breast / 98% beef / 99% turkey / shrimp / etc. with riced veggies at every meal.
Macro-wise I'm an outlier with a very efficient metabolism. On Wednesday I consumed 1,275 calories - 218 grams of protein and 27.9 grams of fat, with the only direct fats being 2 double servings of Omegalyze.
On weekends I'd say I consume 600 - 800 grams carbs over Saturday and Sunday. That's breakfast out somewhere Saturday morning with whatever I want, postworkout meal that's clean potatoes and lean meat, then at night I eat ice cream / cookie dough / whatever snacks I'm craving.
Sunday we cook a healthy breakfast at home, sometimes with carbs and sometimes not. Sunday postworkout is clean potatoes with lean meat again, then Sunday night all the cheat goodies again.
I could probably get leaner and do it more quickly by cutting back on the junk on weekends but I don't compete and knowing I have that to look forward to makes it easy to stay on track all week.
