So what are suggesting he should eat.....and how many calories.....? I'm curious...?. not real sure where ur saying im wrong....
Diet is the most important aspect of cutting. It will be very beneficial to track your food that you eat every day in terms of both overall caloric intake, and macro-nutrients (Protein, Carbohydrates and Fat). The first step is to see just how many calories you should be eating. To calculate this, you can use a simple formula. Take your body weight in pounds and multiply it by 12. For example:
200lbs x 12 = 2400 Calories (if ur trying to gain lean mass...yeah u should eat alittle more......)
This a general his guideline, and can be increased or decreased depending on the person. If you have a fast metabolism, it is suggested to start at a multiplier of 13. If you stop losing weight for 2 or 3 weeks, you may lower your calories, or increase cardio.
What you eat is almost important as how much you eat. Cutting is the time for you to clean up your diet and stick to “clean” foods.
Protein is the life-blood of an avid strength-trainer’s nutritional regimen. Sufficient protein intake is necessary for maintaining muscle mass. Eating at least a gram of protein per pound of body weight is a general rule of thumb and can easily be achieved by eating 30-40g proteins at every meal. Main sources of protein include: Lean Steak or Ground Beef, Skinless Chicken Breasts, Fish, Turkey, and Supplement Powders (Whey, Casein, Soy, etc.).
Carbohydrates are the body’s main source of energy. There are two types, simple and complex carbohydrates. The Glycemic Index (GI) is a rating system for the length of time it takes for your body to convert carbohydrates to glucose (sugar). If a food is rated high on the Glycemic Index, then by itself it will be quickly metabolized. High GI foods play a vital role after lifting weights, for muscle recovery.
Types of high glycemic foods you could take post-workout include Dextrose, Maltodextrin, Potatoes, and Pasta. Post-workout, however, is generally the only time these types of food should be taken in. This is due to the effect they have on blood sugar levels (a quick increase in blood sugar levels due to the release of a hormone called insulin). All other carbs throughout the day should come from lower GI carb sources that include some fiber. Low GI Carb sources include Oats, Beans, Sweet Potatoes, Green Vegetables, Oat Bran Cereal, Whole Wheat Bread (or Tortillas or Pitas).
Fat
To ensure that you’re getting your fat from healthy sources, look to Olives or Olive Oil, Natural Peanut Butter, Nuts, Flaxseed Oil, and Fish Oil. Saturated fat sources, such as cheese and butter should be avoided for the most part. A tablespoon of butter with your dinner won’t kill you, but bear in mind, all good things in moderation.
Cheating
Cheating can be defined when you eat something that does not fit into your dietary regimen. It serves no purpose in moving you towards your goal of fat loss. It’s okay to cheat on your diet once in a while to maintain your sanity, but don’t go overboard. Try to limit your cheating to once a week (or less).
Beverages
Beverages help you fight feelings of hunger and give your stomach that “full” feeling. Drinking at least a gallon of water per day is the norm for most active strength trainers. It is important to keep the body hydrated Besides water, you can drink some hot beverages, such as black coffee or green tea, both of which have caffeine (see supplement section below). Diet sodas are also acceptable, as they have zero calories. Milk (low fat or nonfat) is another good beverage, but just make sure that you’re counting it towards your overall calorie intake. If you are concerned about the carbohydrates in milk, keep your milk intake to 32 oz. or less, due to the high lactose content. Lactose is basically another form of sugar, and fairly high on the Glycemic Index.
just a thought....
