How to Lose Weight Without Diet Pills
Recommended Answer:
I think you've got your macro-nutrients around the wrong way for building body mass.If I understand your correctly you're aiming to get 40% of your calories from protein, 45% from carbs and 15% from fats, and you need 2,400 Calories. So that works out to 240g of protein, 270g of carbs, and 41g of fat. That's a lot of carbs! If anything makes us fat its carbs. Basically carbs breakdown to sugar, so if you're ok with eating sugar then go for it. My preference is to avoid carbs altogether to prevent fat storage and sugar spikes.Also with protein I work on the basis of 1g of protein per pound of body weight, not 1.5g.So given that you are 175 pounds you should be consuming 175g of protein. That's 700 Calories.I'm going to suggest that you limit yourself to 40g of carbs per day - so that means carbs from non-starchy vegetables and fruit. No potato, rice, wheat, bread, sugar, etc. That gives you 160 Calories.It total that's 860 Calories. To get you 2,400 you need to get the rest from fat. 1,540 Calories from fat is 175g.Eating fat doesn't make you fat. In fact it does the opposite as it teaches the body to burn fat.And every single cell in your body requires both protein and fat for growth and repair. Exactly what you need for body building. You don't need carbohydrates for cell growth.So this puts your calories at 29% from protein, 7% from carbs, and 64% from fat. Or 175g protein, 175g fat, and 40g carbs.I believe that will give you the best body building diet.Other Answers:
- Okay, your protein looks good, 1.5 gram/lb of body weight. To avoid gaining an over abundance of fat, do carb cycling. On your training days, aim for around 250-300 grams of carbs, on your non-training days, aim for 150-200 grams of carbs. Eat most of your carbs before you train so you can use that energy to really lift heavy weights. Eat about 250-500 calories over your intake to gain a sufficient amoun of weight. Aim for whole grains and red meats along with plenty of fruits for quick-carbs and healthy anti-oxidents. Good luck! Hope this helps!
