6'2 286lbs.....Damn! You a big ol' boy...ain't ya! Best of luck to you getting ready for this show. I'm sure you will do great.
286 @15% is pretty good.
what has yr diet and training been to get that big over the years?
At 286, 150g carbs seem very low... not much room in terms of removing carbs if progress stalls... if your macros are accurate.. that puts you at around 3100 cals... add in hard training and cardio sessions it would seem you would prob drop pretty rapidly once the ball gets rolling.... just my thoughts!
I'll second cream of rice. It's a savior when my carbs get really high.This was my math as well, the first thing that stood out, not enough carbs. Allow yourself a little more variety at this point, and not sure if youve tried carbs that are easier to digest, such as cream of rice, quinoa, lentils, or even a simple dextrose powder can be added in. Also, can increase carbs with fibrous veggies like green beans, broccoli, etc. And take a fiber supp at bedtime. Especially with the high protein, youll need the extra fiber. Once, maybe twice a week its good to swap the beef for salmon
By allowing a little more now, youll have more room to taper as needed closer to show time
Seafood in general is pretty catastrophic to your health these days. Farm raised stuff is toxic too...the fact that they feed tilapia their own poop is kind of troubling.
Freshwater fish is great though.
Your plan is freaking inspiring man!
No Thanks!
