Im just starting my second month of the shred challenge and could use a little advice on my meal plan. I'm really after that nice shredded look for summer.
My stats are Ht- 5'11", Weight- 160lbs, Age 24, BMR at rest ~1801, BMR in motion ~3422(According to this websites calculator). Body fat % is somewhere around 12-15% at a guess since i dont really have any way to measure it, Id like to get to around 10% and maintain that.
Current Macros are Carbs-250g, Fat-85-88g, protien-~350-355g for around ~3300cal a day total on lifting days. Non lifting days for HIIT and rest days i drop down to about ~2900cal.
I'm also that classic hard gainer and i lose wieght extemely quickly if i'm not eating an insane amount of calories per day, but i fear i may be eating a little too much. I also work in a restaurant 5-6days a week so im pretty active all the time.
My diet consists of Turkey bacon, egg whites, 12grain whole wheat toast, 2 scoops BSN Syntha-6 x2 a day with 10oz of whole milk each serving, grilled chicken, steamed sweet potatoes, steamed broccoli, Met-RX Protein Plus protien bars, strawberry greek yogurt, black beans, brown rice, and sauteed 93/7 ground turkey. ( I can give exact macros and portions on these if needed, dont want too long of a post though.)
I would appreciate any advice or critiques on the meal plan. I've only got a few months of hardcore training left before I move out of the country to Japan and I dont know what my training will be like when i move over there yet.
