I try to stick to the 1 gram of protein, .45 g of carb and fill the rest of my calories in with healthy fats.

Right now I am leaning out so my daily diet looks like this:
Breakfast /post workout
Protein drink, 1/2 cup of oatmeal, banana
Snack 1: Plain greek yogurt, 100g of strawberries, and 28g of raw almonds
Lunch: 6 oz. chicken breast, 1 cup of brown rice, 1 cup of brocili
Snack 2: 4 oz tuna steak, 4 oz japanese sweet potato(yum)
Dinner is usually 6 oz of beef or pork and a cup of some green veggie
Before bed: Protein drink

Keeps me between 2000-2300 cals. a day. Been losing a pound a week with this diet and a 6 day a week weight lifting routine.

Very similar here. 5'9" 168 right now. Down from 172

My diet's looking like this.. obviously, change around meats and snacks, but this gives you an idea..

Morning:
1/2 cup dry oatmeal (makes a cup or so after cooking with water)
2 eggs
4 egg whites
1/8 cup shredded cheese

Post-workout:
1 cup whole milk
1 scoop ON Gold Standard Whey

Snack 1:
Large gala apple, sliced
2 tbps almond butter

Lunch:
8oz chicken breast
1 cup buttered, steamed broccoli
3 cups spinach
1/8 cup cheese
1 tbsp Italian dressing

Snack 2:
1/4 cup raw almonds

Dinner:
8 oz top sirloin
10 asparagus spears

My total calorie comes out somewhere between 1800 and 2000, normally. I try to avoid carbs throughout the day, with exception to pre-workout. I'm 6'2, 270. Fat. I do this all week, then screw it up all weekend long by drinking too much beer and eating out, so losing weight has been a problem

My workouts currently look like (I recently changed it up to add more cardio):
-20 minutes of cardio before lifting. I like the elliptical but sometimes I do the stair machine or run on a treadmill. Stair machine really kicks my fat arse, I love it.
- 3 sets of 7-10 for 2 compound movements
- 1 set of 10-12 on an isolation of the same muscle group.
- 3 sets of 10-12 for 2 isolations (tricep, bicep, lats, traps for example).
- 2 days cardio+lifting, 1 day strictly cardio for 45 minutes, 1 day rest. Rinse, repeat.

I'm trying to lean out. Lose 15-20 pounds. Main workout goal is to get back into shape. I haven't lost much strength but I'm very poorly conditioned after an injur kept me out the gym for 2 months plus the holiday season diet and various missed workouts got to me.

My diet right now is

Breakfast- Quest Protein Bar

Lunch- 8 oz grilled chicken, serving of broccoli, serving of cauliflower, one avocado

Dinner (pre workout) - 8 oz grilled ground beef 90/10, 1 sweet potato

Postworkout- My "special recipe" protein shake- 12 oz milk, scoop whey protein, banana, spoonful almond butter

That puts me at about 2000 calories a day, sometimes I'll have another snack at night or whatever.

Post a vid doing 20 wide grip pull ups with no bounce, and I will suck your e-dick

---

I can only do between 6 and 8 wide grip. You don't see many guys at 215 doing pull ups for a reason, it's them little 130lb skinny bastards that pump them out like it's nothing.

Just adjust it to fit your schedule.

When I used to work out in the afternoon the dit didn't change any because I would go home and eat dinner.

Should I take carboline in the morning during breakfast?

Never taken it so not really sure. Try it in the mornings for a while and see how your body responds. Try it at lunch or post workout as well. You just have to find what fits you best. There's a lot of trial and error with this dieting and lifting stuff. It takes a while to learn how you respond to things.

Strong as an ox, but not look like a powerlifter. No diet, I just try to eat fairly well. Also only eat 10g of protein, no carbs before I lift.
