Why do you need more than that?Originally Posted by itzbooranss
How the hell do you guys keep up with your daily protein intake? Especially WITHOUT protein shakes?
I'm doing an all natural cut, without any supplements or shakes and I think I eat alot but when I check out my macros from my daily tracker, I'm only hitting 1 g per pound or 1.25 at best

Lol, I don't ignore you son.
I'm starting to eat clean, my only problem is eating the required cals. I did one of those calories/weight/height calculators and it told me I need to maintain 2560 a day, which is becoming a feat for me. I can eat crazy burgers and fries etc., but that's not a healthy way. Lately I'm eating grilled chicken, fish, broccoli, asparagus, chopped fruit, oatmeal and such but its nowhere getting me to 2560 cals I need or even more. Im still doing my cardio, strength exercise and im noticing my arms and biceps starting to tone (great results in 5 weeks so far), im just having trouble with the eating. Im avg. about 1800-2000 a day.
Steak is good for my diet? *%*%, I'm about to go in then!Originally Posted by Stuntman Mike
for someone 5 weeks in, sounds like your diet is ok. don't buy into the whole bs about nutrient timing and casein at night and hydrowhey immediately post-workout. just buy some decent protein powder and fit it in with your macros if you can't meet it with food. like dude said: lift, eat, rest repeat. and eat lots of steak!

I definitely wouldn't call steak "good" for your diet, regardless of how it's prepared. It's nowhere near as lean as some nice grilled chicken breast.Originally Posted by scshift

Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and a snack (an hour) before I go to bed. I know I need to eat 5 meals a day, but that's not easy, but im trying. So far Ive had breakfast, lunch and a grilled chicken and spinach salad

Steaks and chicken are good, but make sure they're cooked in a healthy manner. None of that fried stuff, but grilled/baked is good.
Have you looked into gainer supplements?

calories in - calories out
eat less than you burn = weight loss
also up your protein and lower your carbs.

Get ON for sure and if you have the funds, try the ON Hydrolyzed Whey. An essential stack (regardless of what you're goals are) should consist of:
- Whey Protein
- Multivitamin
- Fish Oils/Omega 3
- BCAA's (Intra-workout)

To piggy-back off what Based Mod said, I would suggest 500-1000 below your maintenance level (depending on your metabolism & body type) while carb cycling to help preserve muscle mass and give your body the energy it needs for working out. This has worked best for me personally while cutting.Originally Posted by JD Turk

1000 seems like a LOT, unless youre obese.Originally Posted by nikestreetdotcom

Id suggest making your own shakes rather than buying the weight gainers supplement companies sell. You can make them pretty much superior in taste and content, as well as cheaper.Originally Posted by scshift

Peoples bodies are different. While I personally stick around 500-700 below maintenance, others have a much harder time losing weight. I would just say start at 500 below maintenance and if you're not losing 1-2lbs a week, then move to 800-1000.
