I am 6'3" 245 and roughly the same BMI. The smallest in my family . My paternal grandmother was 6'2". G-dad was 6'10 330 and ripped at 65yo. All Swedes from Stockholm, Oland.
For supplemental protein I run these two:
PeptoPro hydro caseinate: http://truenutrition.com/p-978-peptopro-hydrolyzed-caseinate-1lb-milk.aspx
NOW unflavored WPI: http://www.iherb.com/Now-Foods-Spor...1&disc=0&lc=en-US&w=now whey&rc=114&sr=3&ic=2
Cutting for me involves going sub-maintenance. I try not to change my diet too much unless I am cutting for Summer or some event (bouldering or mountaineering trip). My diet revolves around beans, legumes, lean meats and potatoes (bulking). I don't eat much grain unless I am dining out -- then I eat whatever I like. If you limit yourself (not having the stuff in the house) then you'll eat it sparingly when out and not feel deprived.
I eat a metric ton of lentil soup. It's nearly a perfect meal. High protein/fiber. Satiety is very high. I can eat 600cals in lentils (40g protein) and not be able to eat for 6 hours.
I buy the organic corn tortillas from WFM and their org refried pinto beans. Reasonably high in protein as well. Fry the tort in a couple tbsp of coconut oil for a minute or two per side. Add the pinto beans and Cholula (or stronger) hot sauce. Med heat for 5-7 minutes. 200cals or so per tortilla. Ridiculous, try them.
Dinner is usually salmon or occasionally tuna. Chicken once a week as a tamale or similar. Once or twice a week it's grass-fed tacos, burgers or rib-eye/filet/NY. I grill the meat rare and then cut into strips and fry in grass-fed butter and eat over a small amount of rice with soy sauce. I was addicted to Kobe burgers for awhile.
I am the guy who can eat the same meal each day for three years straight. My diet isn't terribly varied.
I juice DAILY with a 105rpm worm-drive (Green Power) juicer. Kale, celery, English cucumber, lemon, ginger (lots), apples. http://www.greenstar.com/
Here's a pic of arms (lol) from my last bulk, zero definition, but they're approaching 18". Shirt is an XXL Kjus layering ski top. My bench was at ATH here at ~390. nohomo.
As far as "PEDs" go, I usually go with a 30-day cycle of Tiratricol when cutting along with some *mild* stim and AAS.
I also use a sleep-met protocol in which I take Benadryl, DMAA, EPA and Idebenone at bedtime. Occasionally some valerian as well. I take my waking temp to see if I am running hot. If not, then I will titrate the dose (up).
*I am not recommending the Bena/DMAA protocol and the stuff is scheduled now, anyway. If you are interested, PM me. I won't respond to aliases I don't know, one post wonders.
Classic mesomorph genetics. And a 6'2" grandmother?:eek:Talk about behaving oneself as a kid! 6'10" is off he chain!
And yes, I'd like to see what kind of lentil soup recipes you're making.
The cholula I go through in an insane manner. My Son eats some garbage, and he eats up all the cholula. All the steaks; all the fish. Ever see the movie "Friday?" Well, I'm the non-dog catching, version of Mr. jones. Lol!
I'll try the WFM tortillas. Is he coconut oil a healthy add, or there for taste?
I live on salmon, but won't buy the farm raised garbage from my local stores. I'll have to pay more to get it from a local market that only buys wild caught. In season it's not bad. Out of season, I pay considerably more. Supply + demand...
Don't have a juicer, but have been told months ago by a very good holistic med dr that I should. I don't know if I can drink green-colored stuff at first...
I've not tried the triax, but may as I don't use t3 anymore.
And Benadryl knocks me on the deck! No melatonin?
