Diet ?

[Altamir]

Wish I could post on everything. But for some reason it say I'm not authorized to post on this topic. I have Hard time giving in to the idea of cutting my protein down. I usually fall around 2+ hrs per lb. I see a lot of knowledgeable guys saying u can go much lower than I do. One thing I like protein. The other I'm worried I won't have enough to grow? Trying to put the hole ft training in place. I change my diet. Training days I eat 4500 calories protein 450 ish/ cabs 525 ish and fat around 75. And rest days. I drop calories down to 3500 pro/110 carbs/ fats 110. So far may weight isn't moving. I do cardio 7x a week(incline 10% at 2.5 mph so not hard) first thing in the morning. Do I increase training day calories or rest days? Oh body weight 208 @ 8% bf. yes this is a true body fat not what I think I am. Thanks for input.

Hey! So the protein thing is something I struggle with myself. So I don't think I could lend much insight there. I stay at around 1.75g per lb, and some days go over. I feel like you a paranoid about it. It's can be a go to snack for me when I'm bulking and hungry, but know I really shouldn't eat much more, since the body has a hard time converting it into fat.

I will offer a bit of an outsiders view on the other part of your question. You had another thread in which you had questions about your legs recovering, and then this thread about how you are having trouble gaining weight, and doing 7 days of cardio. I understand you see it as not being hard, but these two bits of information sort of clicked for me. You may want to look into scaling back some of that cardio. Just by doing that and making zero other adjustments, I have a hunch you might start to see your weight go up and your legs recover better. Just a thought!!
