 never had to diet before but now I'm considering it!


this is my deal, I have always due to various reasons had low body fat, and had trouble gaining weight, now that I have a coulple cycles under my belt I have a lot more mass as well as a shittier smothed out look, this is pissing me off cause I wanna see if I can lean up. I eat like shit and always have but know its starting to catch up to me, I just don't feel as tight skined or as lean. for the first time in my life I have gone a whole day with out bread or pasta type carbs, I am going to go with this as long as possible but I always feel hungry. my question is, is this going to be enough to lose this smoothed out look? I need some recomendations on how to get shredded again. I am currently around 8-12% body fat. actually I have no clue what I am but I still have some abs showing when I flex them, help me out somebody, I have so much to learn in this department!

ht 6'4" 220 lbs, 99kg,

this might be a typical day during the week ( I go to school so I always eat at campus, mon through friday:

Breakfast:
730 am 4 eggs (hard boiled)
3 strips of bacon,
pankakes(2)
hash browns
1/2 litre of milk glass of oj
cantalope, grapefruit

lunch:
what ever goes, I don't have any routine, I ussually try to eat something with protien! I often have a roast beef sandwitch with some milk and a nanaimo bar

Supper: I work in a steakhouse so I eat prime rib almost every night that I work, I ussually have at least a 12-14 oz cut with some green beans and mushrooms lots of times I'll have a ceasar salad with it and usually a few slice of bread with butter and what ever else the cooks give me, sometimes they give me things like nachos, escargo, more prime rib, and more steak.


I currently do not eat any protien shakes, or any other supplements, I am also not on a cycle right now,but would also like a good diet for staying lean while on cycle as well as one for when I not on cycle. If you recomend it I will go out and buy some protein or anything like that. I also cannot find any diet aids like ephedrine any more so any thing like that is out of the question for me. I have been for the past couple days been trying to not eat any breads or pastas and trying to stick to protiens and veggies and fruits but the hunger pangs are getting to be pretty fierce. Up until a couple of days ago I have always had lots of breads and pasta's and sugars in my daily diet. I really love bread but I realize it is the enemy when trying to lean out. hope this helps if there is any other info you need please let me know.

thxx for your time and help

are you only eating 3 meals a day?!?!?
first step is to bump that up to 6 smaller meals spaced out every 2.5-3hrs. no longer. this will keep your metabolism stimulated, balanced energy flows and with protein in each meal will have a steady amino acid flow in the bloodstream, as not to put you in a catabolic state(burning muscle).
-it doesnt appear as though your getting enough protein, or right choices either. if you find that getting in enough (I reccomend 1.5g/lb bodyweight...1g/lb minimum) then adding in a protein supplement may be to your benefit. good choices of protein include chicken(bonesless, skinless), all fish(even the fatty types), lean beef, egg whites(yolks in moderation), cottage cheese and whey protein. you should have a serving of this at each meal!
-as for carb choices you were right to drop the pasta and breads/sugars. the pancakes, hashbrowns and juice should go too. better choices include old fashioned oatmeal, sweet potatoes, brown rice, bran, beans/legumes, fiberous fruit in moderation and ALL fiberous green veggies( eat as many as those as you want to help fill you up and drive off those hunger pangs your expericing.)
-I see no sort of EFA's (healthy fats) in your diet either. Id reccomend 2-3 servings/day. good choices include olive oil,falx oil, fish oil caps and/or fatty fish, natural peanut butter, nuts&seeds in moderation, hempseed oil, Udo's oil, etc.
- what do you eat post workout? Ideally you want to be getting in a fast asbsorbing protein and carb source. those being whey protein and dextrose.. after your shake 1 hour later have a whole food meal consisting of lean protein and complex carbs only! no fats at this time, slows absorption too much and you want to feed those muscles after training by getting adequate nutrients to the muscle tissues.
-before bed you should be having a small protein and fat meal. some fiberous carbs are fine, but any complex source should be left out. cottage cheese is a great choice along with some healthy fats.
-how much water are you drinking daily? Aim for at least 1 gallon!
-you said that you usually eat at school. sounds as though its time to PACK some food. preparing things the night before is easy.

hope that helps.. start there and feel free to ask anymore questions
