So I am thinking of trying a new diet in order to have a balance to my lifestyle. I do pretty good hitting my macros, and thats basically the only diet I am on at the moment. My maintenance is close to 2500 calories, and I have been doing roughly a 40/30/30 split. No real rhyme or reason to this split, I am just trying new things and this split allows for me to eat more foods I want to eat. Anyways, Ive been thinking about the Metabolc Diet. It is basically a contest prep type of diet that can be used for many applications. The good thing about eting this way is that you dont have to change your diet pre contest. It is a diet to where you eat high protien, high fat, and trace-very low carbs monday through friday. Then saturday and sunday you go carb crazy. This is esentially what is done before comps and you can learn how to manipulate carbs to volumize cells. You can learn how many carbs will do this or that, and adjust accordingly for when and if you do decide to step on stage. I love carbs and they make up a huge amount of my daily calories, but it is worth trying. I might not can do this, but I will explain it in case anyone feels they want to give it a go. I will aim to try and start this monday, and I hope I can stick with it.
For me, based on a 2500 calorie maintenance, would be as follows:
Monday-Friday
300 Protien/ 0-20 carbs/ 150 fat - Calories 1200/0-80/1350 Total 2550-2630
Saturday and Sunday
200 protien/350 carbs/40 fat - Calories 800/1400/360 Total 2560
