Hey all I'm a newbie to dieting and bodybuilding.. I am 25yo, 5'8" - 188lbs. maybe 140lbs of lean tissue mass?
right now I am eating:
- one breakfast with like 2 whole eggs and 5 -6 egg whites.
- 7 - 11oz of lean chicken/fish/red meat. 3 - 4x a day. (if I use olive oil to cook 1-2 tlbs a day total max)
- and a pure whey protein shake (35-45g or protein) for a snack right before I go to bed/post work out.
theres not much fat in there as I can't control myself with peanut butter or almonds or damn near anything actually.
I do drink a lot of coffee. No creamer usually, but if I do max 1 oz., max 1-2 oz a day. maybe 4 - 5 12oz/16oz cups a day as I am a coffee whore. - yeh for college.
I try to lift 4 - 5 times a week plus 5-15 minutes of medium heavy cardio 5-6x a week.
Class in the morning, work in the evening, come home, go to gym, shower, sleep, repeat. My day is a desk job, or a student. not much activity.
I seem to hit ketosis (tested by ketostix) off and on through out the day. but nothing solid. why is that?
