One crum, thankyou for starting a great thread on this subject...
Now, for the question..
I train 6 days a week, 3 resistence and 3 intense cv workouts, and how i eat is this..
On the days when i lift, i will eat 3 pro/carb meals. and then go to the fat/pro combo for the last 3.
On the days i do cv, i hit the treadmill first thing in the morning on empty stomach, and then after 1 hour of fasting i resume eating, this time fat/pro all day.
Would you say that this falls somewhere in between the original and the modified version of your diet suggestions, and will this work in lowering my body fat whilst retaining muscle tissue.
My diet consists of at least 300 gms of pro a day
on the weight days my carbs are around 200( veggies included).
Fat runs at about 150/200 gms.
On non weight days, pro at least 300, carbs=75..(from the veggies) Fat=225/250(grams)
i weigh 210lbs
body fat 9%
Ihope this enough info to evaluate and comment.
thanks in advance.

Bro, you got tha right idea...BUT - your taking it WAYYYY too much Fat. 225-250 grams??? That's almost 2300 calories just From FAT alone, without including protein and carbs.
Do this:
NON-Training Days:
Chop down the Fat to around 100 grams/ Protein to 350 grams/ Carbs 30-40 grams.
Training Days:
(Now you're switching to tha Modified version), do 60 grams Fat (20 in each of your last 3 meals), Protein still at 350, Carbs at 100-150.
Remember the fat MUST come from Unsaturated sources (e.v. olive oil, fish, etc, etc, etc,) And carbs from Complex sources and Fiberous Veggies. Protein from Lean meats or powders.
If you start too feel flat (which I doubt), since you will be switching up from 30-40grams of carbs to 100-150 grams of carbs every day or so, But still If you do start to feel fat, include a Carb uP every 7 to 10 days.
Good Luck,
Welcome to Elite.

Thanks one crumb, just one question.
The carbs, wether they be fibrous from the veggies, or starches
soon add up.ie, peas, mushrooms, beans, broccoli, etc.. If you eat enough of them like i do, then the number of carbs soon add up.Should i count these, or only add up the starchy carbs..I add udo's choice oil to my protein when combing fat/protein.The other fats come naturally from steak and beef..
Calories Eaten Today .
PROTEIN=336
FAT=136
CARB=75.(from veggies and protein bar/whey powder).
TOTAL CALORIES.2960.
Now acording to fitday.com, i need 3973 calories, bearing in mind my calorific expenditure, to maintain body weight, which is roughly 1000 more than im eating.Is this a problem, or shall i stick to the above intake.
cheers bro, u da man...

Rez, as long as you are splitting the meals into six sittings, then it sounds about right for your weight.How many carbs will you be consuming on your pro/carb weight training days..
Will be interested to hear how low you can get your bodyfat whilst retaining muscle tissue..
good luck.

well been on the mod diet for a while now...going pretty well. I havent put on any weight..but at least i havent lost any..dont want to.
on pro carb days im trying to cycle my carbs atm and try to get up to 100g carbs...but i find it hard to get that much in!
i have been on a low-carb all of last year..and introducing carbs back has actually been a challenge.
so..back to your qu: on weight training days, i'll have high carbs up 100g, on non weight training about 27-40g...this is excluding vegies...though the only (cooked) vegies i eat are zucchini and brocolli (others are lettuce, cucumber).
also wanted to know if its ok to have avocado as a fat?

I myself have wondered this, It's sort of a quagmire since they have a LOT of healthy fats but also some carbs, sort of like Nuts.
I suppose using 2 tablespoons of Avocado on top of your Grilled Chicken or Lean Steak would be fine, a few times a week.
Tha only thing is, when i'm not Absolutely 100% unsure of something, it just bugs me.

Update on my progress.
I've beem on the original program for about 9 days. I'm feeling really good so far, and the weight is flying offff.
started 184
after 9 days 178
Granted a large portion of that is "some high quality h20" but waist is down to the point where it was at when i finished my last cutting stage....so eight weeks will indeed have me very cut.
I'm doing cardio six times a week, with variing intensity and length, and weight training five days a week.
keeping my protein over 250
keeping carbs around 40ish
fat varies slightly every days but around 60g usually.
i'll post again in another ten days or so.
