OK..back in the gym, need to shed this fat and get back in shape (ripped pec, went from 245 to 300 with all my fat in my trunk..belly/chest/back) and did the Nutritional plan..said I need 4000 calories a day, which seems DANG high, but what out there for supplements is worth using? Right now I take 1 scoop of Amplify Intesify Protien Absorption with milk when I wake up..a scoop of NDS Evolve Creatine before my workout..and another scoop of Amplify Protien post workout. I have REALLY been eyeballing the Animal Stak (3 week cycle of 2 different products they sell) is it worth it? What do you feel..kind and brand..I should be taking and when should I take it? Protien shakes..amino acids..creatines..whatever..I want the boost that helps. Something to give me that extra energy, help me recover faster, help with pains, and help shed this fat. I asked on another area of the forum about my diet as the Planner on here said 4000 calories..I consume maybe 2000 now that I am working out, am I doing this wrong? Posted this info on the other forum..if it helps..
typical meal day:
Breakfast-
cottage cheese
whole weat toast
few slices lean cut precooked bacon (read it was better)
water
Lunch-
grilled chicken breasts
baby greens salad/fat free dressing
skim milk
preworkout-
Amplify Creatine mix/half scoop protien w/water
postworkout-
Amplify protien scoop with water
Dinner-
lean steak
1 red potatoe grilled (pam spray with Mrs Dash)
2 slices wheat toast
glass of Crystal Light
Snack-
sugar/fat free jello
glass skim milk
workout-
do 10-20 minutes cardio every day
workout is a 4 day split..Biceps/Triceps day 1..Chest/Back day 2, legs/Shoulders day 3..off day 4..repeat. Work abs/lower back 4 times a week+.
I need to do more cardio I know..do 10 minutes on the tredmil, 10 minutes on the bike..average heart rate for the 20 minutes is 165-175..so I keep it up there pretty good. I know in the military I consumed 5500 calories a day or so..6-7 meals a day..but was VERY active and ran 2-3 miles a day, swam, lifted, and did Ops..so they were needed. I own a computer based business..I dont just sit on my arse all day, but not as active as I was..so 4000 calories seems VERY high..I figgure that I do about 2000 a day now that I am working out again..figgured I needed that low for what I do, but I think I am pretty damn wrong about this!
Please let me know what I am doing wrong or right, what I should look at doing and taking. Thank you in advance for this..site is great and I am learning from it every day!!
