Well he mentioned portion size at the bottom of his diet...but does it really makes so much difference? I mean if I'm bulking and according to my "plan" I have to eat 10oz chicken with 1cup rice, but after that meal I'm still hungry, so I can't eat more only because I'll break my bulking "plan"? Or opposite - if I'm not hungry at all, I must eat those 10.000oz chicken and force feed no less than 1 cup rice? If your talking about bodybuilding I think you have to forget such terms as "healthy" and "balanced" . RDA protein - 0.8 g/kg lean body mass, RDA micronutrition ratio - 50-60% carbs, 15-25 protein and 10-20g fat...
I just can't understand why to make things so complicated? 4 out of 5 bodybuilders grew on chicken and rice, now it's - not in fashion anymore? Of course you can bullshit yourself - they has genetics, they can grow only with bread and water, but then again - do you really think lba's and fruits will take care your genetics and because of taking them you'll grow as good as genetically gifted grows on "shitty" rice and chicken?
Thanks even for that...
So, Phil, are you saying that your way is the only way?
Wouldn't you agree that everything works? I mean in the 90's fruits was big NO NO in contest diets, wasn't guys ripped onstage back then? Wasn't they growing in the offseason? They was. Now you are recommending only fruits and no starches at all, it's totally opposed to the previous diets but again - it works. Same with keto type and carb,carb cycling type diets. Both are totally different and both works. Same with protein. The one is doing super high protein diet and he is growing, the other is doing low-moderate carb diet and again - he is growing, Tom Price ate only 250 grams of protein a day, Kai Green eats up to 1000g protein - both was over 300 pounds in the offseason, both can say that they know the secret how much protein is needed to get over 300, but both ways are totally different, so how it is possible to reach the same goal going two totally different ways?
