Starving

[Grizzly]

I'm currently shedding some bf. Is it safe to assume that if you're starving, then you should probably be eating more? I mean, hungry is one thing, but starving is another all together, right?

 

[Bob Smith]

What are you doing for your diet? Calories and whatnot?

 

[thick]

you on any appetite increasing supps? Also, lay off the weed. Sorry had to put my anti rec drug pitch. I will make you see the light at some point

...shedding some bf...hungry is one thing, but starving is another all together, right?

hey bro - dunno if the following sounds familiar but...

everytime I'm trying 2 cut it feels almost as if I'm starving (contstant, incessant hunger, sometimes unexplainable muscle twitches but no abdominal pangs/cramps)

Also experience low energy levels, mediocre workouts with "longer" recovery periods & occasionally eratic mood swings

bascially it (caloric deficit of 15% or 500cals off TDEE) sucks major ass - can't wait to get bf% ? 2 somethin decent so I can "eat-&-train-like-a-man"

What are you doing for your diet? Calories and whatnot?

I'm in the general 2800cal/day area. Roughly 350 protein, 250 carbs and 50 fat. Give or take.

It's pretty typical for a day to go something like this:

Meal 1-

3 eggs
1c oatmeal
1/4 raisins
2c milk

Meal 2-

2 scoops protein w/ water
1/2 c oatmeal

Meal 3-

12oz (two cans) tuna
2oz pasta w/ 2Tbsp parmesan OR 1/2 c oatmeal

Meal 4-

6 oz tuna(1 can)

Meal 5-

6 oz tuna (1can)

Meal 6- depends on how long I have until I have to leave to train

Either: 2 scoops protein powder w/ 2c milk OR 2 protein powder w/water and some oats or pasta

Meal 7- 2 scoops protein powder w/ 2c milk and the occasional giant pixie stix if I feel that I would like more simple carbs post workout than the 22 contained in the milk.

And then, some days, I get realy super hungry if I'm driving to my g/f's house so I stop and get some tamales or tacos.

Thick- no dope and no appetite increasers. I'm gonna be a cop and I looooooooovvvveee ephedrine, so that negates both.

 

[Bob Smith]

Do you notice the hunger at certain times of day, or is it all the time?

 

[Grizzly]

mainly later in the afternoon. Meal 4 and meal 5 being the primary offenders.

 

[Bob Smith]

You could pick up one of those bagged salads, mainly just to fill space in your stomach.

BTW, I talked to your sis this morning.

 

[Grizzly]

I could do that, but I don't like to waste money. I've tried the vegetable thing and it just ain't happening.

What did she have to say?

 

[Bob Smith]

She said she was headed out west to check out apartments near her new job.

Ephedrine is a no-no if you want to join the police force? I would use it as its not going to show up on a drug test and it will help your hunger issues.

 

[Grizzly]

Did you really talk to my sister or did I post that on here somewhere and forget about it?

No, the dope is a no-no. The ephedrine negates the appetitie stimulant idea because i"m eating the things like pez. Ok, only 75mg/day.

 

[Bob Smith]

Yeah, I talked to her online. Thought maybe you signed on while at work, but instead it was your sis. She was like "I didnt know he (you) had a friend named Bob." lol

whats up grizz..I think that your blood sugar is going too low in the late afternoon due to the lack of carbs....I know u want to eat little carbs in the afternoon but if you train at night u def should have some kind of clean carb in meal 4 and 5...you may have to take away some the oatmeal in meals 1-3 and throw it in meal 4 and 5..it should level of your blood sugar and you wont feel as hungry..hope that helps

hey bro

no surprise with 0 carbos during those meals and did I read correctly, 1 measly can of tuna? I know it's jam-packed with pro (25-50g depending on can size), but that still leaves cals a lil low 4 those meals (100-200 ea.).

How bout adding some filler - eg: a carbo like sweet potato, some veggie or whole wheat pasta (1/2c), etc? worked 4 me in the past and prevents me from eating the wallpaper off the walls

hope that helps

Just cut out the bad carbs and eat black beans, long grain rice, whole grain pasta(sparingly), yams, potatoes(sparingly) and tons of green veggies and water. Try adding natty pb/olive oil/flaxoil/or almonds to meals 4 and 5. Get rid of the milk. Only drink milk PWO, have about 2 cups, oj, and sweet tarts(pure dextrose) for PWO. Milk will bloat you.
