A pound of oatmeal is a lot of oats dude

But apparently you've been getting results...keep up the good work

 

[jay1]

Thanks now I'm hungry.
Good physique...How many days do you train? cardio?

 

[jenscats5]

Love the food pics & the you-pics!! Looking good!!

 

[javaguru]

I was gonna say the same about the oats...but what you're doing seems to be working so keep it up!

 

[coeus]

any reason for all the french bread? (thinking maybe you know something I dont about it, lol)

 

[Excidium28]

I work out 5 days a week

chest and bi's
quads and calfs
back and rear delts
shoulders and tri's
hams and calfs

I never really do cardio. Run for 5 min to worm up every time but thats it, I just got a tread mill at home so maybe ill start runnin.

 

[Excidium28]

Am I eating too many carbs? I cut it down from 4 1/2 bread pieces to 3! its hard cause im use to eating everything with bread as a lil kid, and lots of it. I am tryin to bulk but at the same time stay lean.

 

[|D_J^B_J|]

To me it looks as though your carb intake is very high for someone trying to stay lean. Have you been tracking what proportion of your weight gain is muscle/fat?

 

[rbtrout]

You might trim down the carbs a bit, but otherwise, not bad. You look good, so keep up the good work!

what is the deal with the CDs???

watch the following:

1. Fat content of that lasagna
2. Mashed potatoes, they are so easily converted to sugar, you might as well eat dextrose
3. French bread.

Safer alternatives to those carbs would be: Whole wheat bread, yams, sweet potatoes

I'm hungry now

Since tou juice your main concern should be enough protein

French bread has a lil more sodium than, about the only thing I saw different??

My bf didnt change much if thats what u mean.

Sorry, but for someone with your physique I'm surprised that you don't know about low-GI and high-GI carbs.

French bread and mashed potatoes have an extremely high glycemic index, meaning they cause a spike in insulin levels and promote fat storage.

Whole wheat bread, sweet potatoes, brown rice, etc, have a lower GI, meaning they take longer to break down in your body and provide sustained energy without raising insulin levels.

Did you really not know that?

CDs for fiber

I didnt think it was THAT big of a difference. So sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes. For mashed potatoes, I make them out of real potatoes, add a lil milk butter and soy mix it up.
Wheat bread... I just like the daily baked french bread instaed of the long lasting wheat.

what is your curent BF% maing? you looking good there.

hmm 8%? not sure

 

[supershooter]

From your pics it looks like your diet is working pretty well.

 

[harhar]

high metabolism . If you learned GI, you'd prob look even better. I heard that controlling insulin keeps your body in an anabolic state or something.

 

[chewyxrage]

Yeah It's obvious you have a RAGING fast metabolism...no cardio, etc with that diet.

I would be a fat pig. You're one lucky mofo, enjoy the hell out of it. If it's working just keep close track. If fat gain gets out of control take everyone's suggestions (whole wheat bread, watch the GI of carbs, etc)
