My Diet
This is my current diet. I’ve been getting alot of questions on diet here lately, in particular how many carbs, protein, and fat I take in. Before you read any further let me just say that I am not going to recommend or say that this is the way to do it, I’m not a nutritionist or dietician just a personal trainer. When I first started out as a personal trainer I was told that trying to burn fat and build muscle was conflicting. I don’t really know if I believe that in some cases. In my case I don’t believe it. I think it is based on diet and how much work and pain you put into it in the gym. During a mass phase I will take in a lot more calories than this, mainly due to less "healthy" food. This is my sample diet right now. My first two morning meals are always the same, but the rest is, like I said, a sample diet. Also I don’t really give my meals "tags" such as breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I don’t really declare a certain time that I should eat either such as: Lunch is at 12:00pm. Bottom line is you should eat every 2-3 hours if you want to lean out. They will be refered to as Meal 1, Meal 2, and so on.
Upon Waking-Up (Meal 1)
Coffee and banna and Oatmeal.
45 Minutes later (Meal 2)
The Doubledbol and Juice32 Shake constisting of:
Half of a large carton of egg beaters
1 Cup of Oatmeal
1 Cup of Apple Juice
1 whole Banana
This all mixed together in a blender and is a great tasting fruit shake. It was created by my old workout buddy from Cincy. Check him out on bodyspace, Juice32. If you try it let me know what you think.
2 Hours Later (Meal 3)
2 Cans of Tuna in Oil
1/2 cup of brown rice
2 Hours Later (Meal 4)
12 Oz of Steak or Chicken
Large Sweet Potatoe
8 oz V8
2 Hours Later (Meal 5)
Nitro Tech or Sytha-6 Shake
2 Scoops of Waximaize
Pre-Workout
Labrada Super-Charge
Post-Workout (Meal 6)
Gatorade
Nitro Tech or Syntha-6 Shake
1 Hour Later (Meal 7) Fibrous Carbs Only until next morning
12 Oz of Steak of Chicken
1 Cup of Green Vegatables
Before Bed (Meal 8 )
1 Cup of low-fat Cottage Cheese
I also drink about 1 gallon of water a day. This type of diet allows me to lean up as well as build muscle. Some say it’s not possible, but I really could care less what ACE has to say about it. This is what works for me.

Looks like a pretty good diet to me. Not sure why anyone would say building muscle and buring fat is conflicting. It’s pretty widely know that more muscle promotes higher metabolism, resulting in more fat burning and a leaner physique. But it probably depends on your goals. Your diet looks pretty good as a general diet for a person of your size. It may change some if, say, you are preparing for a bodybuilding competition in the later stages building up to a comp. And it may change in a different way if you wanted to add a couple of more pounds to your physique. You might want to increase or decrease calories overall, or tweak your protetin intake accordingly. But I think it’s still possible to do that and still be pretty lean.
