Mr. X - Heart Healthy Diet

[Legion Kreinak2]

Alright, I was thinking more on what you said about bulking so extremely (3000+ cals, 300+ protein) being possibly unhealthy for the heart, and the constant ups & downs in weight (from bulking & cutting cycles).

So, my question to you is...
How would I go about making up a diet that I can basically keep consistant the whole year 'round? No cycles, just more slowly adding on mass, while keeping my heart in good shape. I know I'm young and don't have to worry much about it now, but I'd rather not dig myself an early grave.

Would I simply eat less calories/protein? Just get somewhere above maintenance, eat good, healthy sources of protein and fats? Nothing saturated, not too much sugars, etc.

I'm thinking somewhere around 2400 calories, 150-200 grams of protein? I'm 165 lbs anyway, so it's more than 1g/lb.

Ya' know what, forget it Mr. X. Everything we do is practically unhealthy anyway (breathing the damn air has become a problem in some places, as has going outside -_-)

I'm gonna just do this hardcore. So it's a li'l strenuous on the heart. I think the body's able to adapt enough to accept the change in weight. If I die a few years earlier, oh well.

That said, I added in a 7th meal to my day. I wanna fuckin' grow man. Strength, size, whatever. I got a bone to pick wit' a senior by Summer... long story. Let's just say I get REALLY FUCKIN' pissed when someone hurts my friends. -_-

Looks good to me...lots of protein and carbs, you'll grow just fine....

Keep in mind, if you go the so called healthy route, it can take years to grow.

Yeah, heh. I figured as much. And like I said, I'm not gonna sit and worry about every li'l thing. Each day we do SOMETHING that makes us more prone to being unhealthy and sickly. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if by next year they found wearing sneakers can drastically reduce your brains ability to function quickly, thus vastly lowering the IQ of students nationwide, and it becomes a regional law that all must wear sandals.
