Gotta say it like Arnold would...lol

 

I figured a way to get rid of that nasty-as-fuck brown rice....granted, it's not the healthiest way, but, dammit, I can't eat that nasty shit!

I deleted the rice and, instead added in green olives and brought one 12 oz Coke back per day. I know Coke has zero nutritional value, compared to brown rice, but I'm getting ALL of my macro needs, as well as plenty of whole grains, etc.

My significant sources of sugar are:

2 fiber bars (20g)
1 oatmeal packet (10g)
milk (13g)
banana (14g)
2 tsp honey (34)
mini wheats (11g)
grape ejlly (13g)
coke (33g)

Everything else is below 5g. If I start crashing or anything, I'll get rid of the honey and replace it with something else

Sugar (all sugar, not just sucrose) makes up 33% (155g) of my carb intake (465g), which I don't think is too terribly bad. It was higher on my cut!

Anyway, off to go do back.

 

Dude ever heard of uncle Ben's?

Interesting....I've had some of ol' Uncle Ben's stuff before....I'll check out the rice. Thanks.

I drank a Coke a day for 3-4 months straight and lost 22 lbs. Calories in vs. calories out

I HATE plain oats. I do the instant apple cinnamon oatmeal. So good...so processed


Today was my first workout where I haven't been at a caloric deficit in 3-4 months and it was glorious. No chugging BCAA's, no feelings of tiredness, etc. I'm sure a lot of it was mental, but it was a good workout. God, I missed my carbs

wide-grip pull-ups: 4 sets of 12, 10, 8, 6 w/ 1 sec pause at top
v-grip lat-pulldown: 4 sets of 12, 10, 8, 6 @ 160, 175, 175, 190
one-arm dumbbell row: 4 sets of 12, 10, 8, 6 w/ 65, 70, 75, 80 lb dumbbell
bent-over t bar row: 4 sets of 12, 10, 8, 6 @ 90, 100, 110, 120

decline bench upper ab crunches: 2 sets of 15
25 lb weight twists: 1 set of 25
barbell twists: 1 sets of 25
weighted crunches: 3 sets of 10 @ 90 lbs

Now, I'm sipping on my 640 calorie shake

 

im telling ya, you can make them taste pretty damn tasty! STOP BEING A BABY!

 

Plain oats + Walden Farms pancake syrup = delicious

 

plain oats, cinnimon, honey, pecan crumbles, half a banana sliced up and added. Cook it all up, stir well and nom nom nom.

 

Or just throw all that shit into a blender with a scoop of protein powder and BAM! bulking shake


and ditch the coke...haha save that shit for a treat every now and then. I wouldnt worry about adding that into your macros (esp. if you're on a bulk).

 

Both of these sound good. Next week, when I go food shopping, I'll get plain oats and just mix the banana and honey from my protein shake in with them and I'm sure it'll taste good.

I used to put oatmeal in my bulking shakes, but I've already got so much shit in them now, it's already like cement lol.

Yeah, I feel guilty about the Coke, but, until I find a suitable replacement, I'm subbing it for the rice. Fuck rice!

 

Did you ever try quinoa?

 

I have a question, I'm trying to lose weight, but retain muscle definition and have been cutting my calorie intake to 1500 per day. Lately I've been drinking a rolled oats, banana, plain yogurt and milk smoothie in the morning for breakfast, but is the rolled oats counter productive since it's a great bulker and carb?

 

Depends on when you take it IMO

 

I drink it after I work out MWF and before work at 8 am.

 

Nope, but I just looked up the nutritional info on it and holy shit!

1 cup is 625 cals, 24 g protein, 109 g carbs, and 10 g fat....that's like the greatest bulking food ever! I'm definitely gonna be trying that shit!

Cutting at 1500? Are you a natural fat or skinny person? If you're naturally skinny, you need to up that a little. I'm 5'11'' and 180 lbs and I cut down from 200 lbs at around 2300 calories, 200 g protein, 250 g carbs, and 65 g fat. Those are rough estimates. You can bulk or cut on the same stuff, it just depends on your caloric intake
