Contest Diet--Any suggestions?

musclemass22 · 26-Jul-2005, 02:02 PM

9:00--5 ew/1whole, 1/2 c oats
Train
11:30--2 scps whey, 1 c oats, 1 can tuna

2:30--Salad, 2 cans tuna, 1tblspn flax oil

5:30-- 1 c Brown Rice/1 can tuna

8:30--Myoplex

11:30 5 oz chix, 1 1/2 c broccoli, 1 tblspn flx

I calculated it at right about 2600 cal. down from my usual 3100. I also eat chicken most of the time but did not have time to cook a big batch today, so ate 4 cans of tuna

I know I should probably cut out the myoplex but it is so convenient for work. Any suggestions or ideas would be great. 3rd show, 5"8, 175 lbs. I did the last 2 at 163lbs

How far out from your show?

If you are like 6-8 weeks out, I'd definitely start moving towards more real food. Def toss the myoplex. More veggies too.

If you don't know the protein / fat / carb break down I'd suggest sticking the diet into fitday.com or another food counts program. Make sure you are gettingn on the order of 1.2 - 1.5 g protein / your weight to make sure you aren't sacrificing muscle.

I guess not knowing how far out you are or your current stats / progress, hard to say. Dont' know if you need to start cutting via carb rotation or whatever.

How'd you do in your first 2 shows?

I am about 7 weeks out now. I think I am going to cut the myoplex out at 4 wks.What king of cycling do you suggest. I cycled on the 2nd show and I lost tons of muscle and looked like shit. I may have been going to low though. I was eating like 25-40 carbs on the low days. Maybe I should go down to like 100 on the low days, what do you think? I won the novice and 2nd in the open in 1st show. Placed 5th out of 9 in Midwest show. Any suggestions appreciated

One thing I would do is ditch the tuna. It's not a complete protien. You could replace it with ground turkey or chicken. You can have a fish oil cap with your meals to get your omega's. 25-40g of carbs a day is too low you'll be flat as a pancake. 100 on a low carb day is plenty low enough. You could also fat cycle where you have 2-3 higher fat days followed by 2-3 low fat days. Is there a welterweight class in your show or are planning on going in as a middleweight? You should have plenty of time to get down so don't panic. Can you post some recent pics?

One more thing that will make a difference with the diet. Are you running any gear or doing this clean?

These are natural shows but have ran gear a few times in the past. am going to buy a scanner here shortly so I post some of the pics. I did not know that tuna was an incomplete protein? You guys are killing all my convenient meals though. Already cooking all the time. I am about 5 1/2 wks out now and can already tell that I am going to look better than the last show. Been cycling a bit with about 80-175g carbs. Thx for the help. Oh yeah you guys have any thoughts on crysatl light? I saw the thread on it. I have been drinking quite a bit lately.

Crystal Light= God send! You need some flavor with the bland diet. You should cut it out at 2 weeks out though. Sorry about the meals but it's a bitch getting ready for a show. What's your target weight? I've competed for years drug free and am only now looking to go in the other direction so anything I can help you with let me know.

I did the first show at 163, 2nd at 165. I am right about 170 right now--Would like to go in about 167. I am only 5'7"
Yeah tried crystal light for 1st time ever like 2 wks ago and it is a savior. Why is tuna an incomplete protein. It's fish and fish is a complete protein, is it not?
Where you from and what natural shows have you done?
