My objectives: Have perfect health like hair/skin/bones. But I want a diet where I can basically just increase/decrease if i want to add/lose mass. If I wanted to add mass I would have more tuna/chicken/salmon in the meal and add some Carbs into the equation basically brown pasta. But at the moment i'm wanting to lose some weight so i'm killing all carbs except in the morning when I NEED it.

Anything else i'm missing I could benefit from?
 
Through the day are you not eating any carbs? Rice/Potato/Pasta?

If you lose weight you still need to have carbs during the day, it helps you maintain any good mass you have, muscles won't maintain themselves just with protein. If you cut them really low/out completely you'll find you lose too much good mass especially after a bulk, and even though you do lose weight faster, it's not worth it.

I suggest having small amount of carbs through the day while cutting and up it when you bulk, unless you WANT to be skinny, then cut carbs out completely. If you want to be toned you need to keep eating them in smaller doses.


Oh forgot to say, the rest looks good to me, just the lack of carbs is the only thing I noticed a bit "off"

If you can survive without carbs then good on you - I'd be climbing up the walls! :D But my goals for training are different to yours, you will get some carb from the fructose if you eat fruit so it's not too bad, as you will from some of the dairy products.

I hope you vary your diet more than that though!!
 
Don't want to sound like a idiot but...
Carb's - if I could workout hard without them then do I need them or do they direcrly affect the size of my muscles not my fat?

Vary my diet? How do you mean, what else do I need?

They will effect your training eitherway, even if you don't think they will.

Your body uses energy to run (obviously) and carbs are a main source of energy, if you don't take in carbs your body will look for alternate sources which can be proteins from your muscles and you really don't want this to happen especially if you spent all that time bulking up for nothing, right?


I did the same, first time I lost weight I had hardly any carbs, basically all my muscle that I had deteriorated and I went skinny, you could see the bones in my shoulders popping out my skin, my face was imaciated and my skin was pale, it was bad. I bulked back up and this time I eat carbs through the day, my muscle is staying this time round everywhere, more noticeable in my chest and stomach, and though weight-loss is slower on carbs it's guaranteed nearly all the weight I'm losing is fat, not muscle.


Hope that helps.
 
It does. I'll have a bit of carbs it seems then. Clean carbs like brown pasta. As for variety Freefaller i'm not bothered I can stick to that diet fine.

Yeah you don't need a major amount of carbs, just enough to keep you going so to speak, and when you're bulking just up it.

See how it goes anyway, you're goal weightloss per week should be 2lbs. More than 2lbs = not enough carbs, less than 2lbs = too many carbs.
 
How many carbs for fat loss/maintenance and weight gain? Just checking my food and 100g of pasta or oats has like 60g of carbs! I eat more carbs than I thought...
 
I eat 25g-50g of carbs per meal.

100g of rice per meal = 26g of carbs
3-4 meals of that 3x26g or 4x26g = 78g - 104g
1 meal of porridge in the morning = 30g of carbs

so 108g - 134g + veggies each meal, I'd say it gets up to about 125g-150g of carbs per day, which is what I'm aiming for, it's what my body needs roughly, it allows me to lose 2lbs per week, no more no less.

For you it will probably be different, but that's why I swear by rice over potato or pasta.
 
Yeah but how awfully sexy will I look with time ha.

Think I will have some carbs - i'm kidding myself thinking I can workout without them I feel terrible I need them I think. 150g max sounds ok to me.
