I am starving 5 weeks out from a show

[Chubz]

The only thing I have changed in the last week and a half is adding T3 at 50mcg a day. I feel hungry all the time, and wake up consistently at 2am starving at which point I drink 2 scoops of protein in water and eat a tablespoon of almond butter. I am 5'7" 206#'s first thing in the am

My typical day looks like this
Meal 1(right after am cardio)
-10 egg whites 30grams Carbs from oatmeal

Meal 2
-10 egg whites 2 tablespoons almond butter

Meal 3
- 10oz lean sirloin 50grams carbs brown rice

Meal 4 10oz chicken breast 50 grams of carbs oatmeal

Meal 5 after training
3scoops protien powder and 2 scoops Vitargo

Meal 6
12oz Tilapia 1 or 2 cups asparagus.

Bottom line is I am freaking starving!!!!!!!

Thanks

Why T3?

You need to add more fat to your diet.

well ure dieting and 5 weeks from the show what do you expect.

I have been hungry for the last 8 weeks and also have 5 to go. as t3 increases ure metabolism it will increase hunger it did with me and im only taking 25mcg per day. i eat and it feels like i havnt however im getting leaner every day so cnt complain.

What is your cardio like?

 

[Cactus kid]

more important than hunger: how are you looking?

 

[Chubz]

I am doing 40-45 minutes am cardio on a treadmill and 35minutes on a stepmill after lifting. I feel I am looking good, just need more quad seperation, but I am working on that. This will be my second show ever, just curious what you guys might do to help with hunger

Hmm so this hunger only started after adding in the T3? If so I would say that is the culprit. You/we need to figure out something for you to stop because eating in the middle of the morning like that is going to slow your progress trying to get the most cut for the show so you have to stop that asap.

Have you ever used T3 before and if so did this happen?

PS how long have you been taking Vitargo (I assume Vitargo S2) and how do you like it? I have been using it for a few weeks now and love it.

Ditto - not enough fat...why would you throw the yolks out?

Last year I used T3 for 10 weeks at 75mcg, I didnt notice being this hungry.
Yes I do like the Vitargo, it just doesnt mix too good.

What other fats would you recommend? I have been using mainly almonds or almond butter.

I would ditch the 10 egg whites and eat 4 whole eggs. Cook in virgin coconut oil or avocado oil. Switch out the beef to grass fed beef for high quality fats, and eat Wild salmon every other day..
