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

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

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.

A good part of this game too is just figuring out how your body responds to certain macros. For me personally, I know I am very carb sensitive. I have found that timing my carbs around pre and post workout keeps my energy and recovery up but does not pile on fat. If I eat a bunch of carbs through the day, I feel sluggish and i seem to start putting on weight again.

forsure. carbs make me sluggish as well so good to hear that. when i figure out my maintenance after this cycle i plan on doing like probly 150-200 grams of carbs tops if i can for that reason

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

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

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.

wtf i see it for 50 dollars for 5 pounds where can i get it that cheap

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.
