Just thought that I would post about helping out a fellow Freak with constructing a diet plan, this is just an example and it's the main reason for my success in trying to build lean muscle mass and keep the fat gains off. Of course there's difference diets plans for different people but this is what aids me in the world of bodybuilding. So no dirty bulks here! :tap :lol

Hey guys. Just finished my P90x on Saturday. Taking the week off for recovery/eat some crap and then I was going to start Insanity next week. Here is the thing though. I bought Insanity and keep looking at it and really it is a huge cardio routine. Yes I could stand to loose a few more pounds/body fat but at the same time I liked the little muscle gain I got from P90x and I am thinking I want to go more that route.

Can someone help point me in a good gym routine to keep up with my muscle growth to get a more leaner look and also what would my diet look like for that as well? Any help or where to look for the info would be helpful.

What do you weigh right now?

There is one catch, unless u've never lifted a weight in your life, you either go up or down with the bulking and cutting. That miracle only works really well with a beginner and VERY minimal with someone that has all ready been trained.

So the question you have to ask yourself is do you wanna get leaner with the muscle you have now? Or would you like to bulk up to add more lean mass? Bulking can add some fat but it's minimal with the right foods, you not going to put on tons of fat in the wrong areas by bulking with the right foods. I think the last time I bulk seriously to gain more size I went up to 230lbs at 15% BF without a spare tire or man boobs :lol of course the abs will go away but the stomach should remain flat.

Oops sorry currently 157 at 5'8

Coolio, here ya go. I'm gonna try to eliminate all guess work and this is bare bones flat nothing dynamic and very static.

Here's a pretty good site that I keep bookmarked in order to find body calorie maintenance. You can find out where you are at by plugging in the numbers.

https://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/macronutcal.htm

Your body needs energy to carry out daily activities. This energy comes from the foods we eat. These foods are measured in units of calories. Energy balance between what is eaten and what is used determines if you will gain or lose bodyweight. If more or less calories are consumed, then weight is gained or lost.

As simple as it may seem, the human metabolism is more complex. Fat, protein, and carbohydrates all have different and distinct nutrient functions in the body. Fat, protein, and carbohydrates are all metabolized differently and are converted into bodyweight with different rates of efficiency.

If More Or Less Calories Are Consumed,
Then Weight Is Gained Or Lost.

The following calculator is to be used for maintenance. If your goal is weight loss, adjust your daily caloric intake by decreasing it by 500. If weight gain is your goal, increase the maintenance by 500.

Plugged yah in and the maintenance calorie intake is around 2826 calories that is to maintain what you have now. Like the quote stated above if you want to lose -500 that amount and to gain +500 on that amount.

Here's one to find you LBM mass and to see how much muscle you are working with, it does take BF% into account so make sure that you have correctly measured before assuming anything else.

Here's the break down in macros that I would use for you, you are kind of in between the both of the marco calories and grams so I suggest to start somewhere in between.

As for foods, I will allow you add in come starchy carbs like rice, oatmeal, whole wheat pasta, potatoes in the every day meals mainly in the mornings and post workout so you have energy throughout the day and for recoverey afterwards, so that being said it's almost like Meal 1 and Meal 6 besides the refeed days.
