Thread: if im at a lean bodyfat, drink 6 cups of milk daily, but still hit caloric maintenance. will i gain fat

I dont see any complex carbs in there at all. Fruit is all sugar. In moderation I think that is ok but probably best around your workouts especially post workout. You should maybe drop the milk and fruit down a bit and get some complex carbs in there somewhere. Brown rice, sweet potatoes, and oats. Lots of fellas here know way more than me but I know what works for my body atm....well sort of. I am still narrowing it down.

What is your weight and approx bf? I think Id swell up like a balloon at 4k...

weight is right around 197.5-200. bodyfat around 15 percent. im way over my maintenance.

and i could add some brown rice. but if i could keep the milk it would be 10 times easier. thats part of what will help me keep consistent day to day

More meals bro. It would be very hard to get my cals in at 3 meals a day. I usually eat at 8am, 10, 12, 3, 6 and 9pm. I am currently around 2600 cals give or take and low carb 200 of less per day.

1. 2 eggs, 3/4c egg beaters, 1 turkey sausage patty

2. protein shake or more eggs depending on wht is going on at work

3. 6 oz chicken, salad or green beans or brussel sprouts or broccoli

4. same as above or 97% lean ground beef and veggies. Leg or back day I may do a cup of rice or 4-5oz of sweet potato

5. post workout- 2c 2% milk, 1c blueberries, 2 scoops protein Ill add a banana on leg day for the extra carbs

6. Protein is either ground turkey burger, chicken breast, lean ground beef
Some sort of veggies
Sweet potato or rice
If I am jonesin for something sweet on my last meal Ill do a cup of oats, 1c blueberries, and a scoop or 2 of protein. Its delicious.

Im usually around 25-2600 cals 240ish protein 170-200 carbs and 70-100 fats

Consistency comes with meal prep. I spend several hours every sunday prepping ALL of my meals for the entire week. Always keep a days worth with you so you are not as likely to stray and eat some sort of junk shit.

Like fit said too, its still somewhat about cals in vs cals out. I personally dont believe its exactly that simple but this definitely still applies.

appreciate this a lot. that last meal of blueberries i might check that out just to help the consistency. sometimes that sweet meal can help get u through the other stuff. but damn ur at like 3-5 scoops of protein.go through powders real quick at that point. i feel guilty even doing two scoops a day. makes like a 50 dollar protein powder last a month. and yeah i should start meal prepping. i hate cooking so much. if i could throw all my food in a blender and drink t and not have it taste like hell, id do it in a heart beat

Most days I just do one shake a day. I just do the oats and morning shake When i am needing something sweet. You will find a cooking method. Chicken is easy. 2 big pans, 8lbs chicken. Brown good both sides in a skillet and then all in the oven for 30 min.....done chicken for the whole week.

And for the record....frozen blueberries in a shake are the straight up shit. I look forward to it every day. Honestly about as good as a fat shitty milk shake.

Nothing wrong with milk + protien. I've bern doing it myself and i wish i started earlier. But personally id add more lean meats to the lunch instead of doing another shake. Everyones different and has different needs to reach their goals so keep that in mind its very individual.

I find its easier on digestion to eat more whole foods as opposed to adding more and more shakes. But that's probably due to my shit and sensitive digestive system
