Hi Everyone, I'm new to this board and I'm looking for some help with my diet. I started the CKD on Monday and i'm not sure I am doing it completely right or not and I also have a few questions about it... any advise would be greatly appreciated!!!
I'll start by telling you a bit about myself.... I'm 23 years old, 5"3 tall and I weigh 164lbs. I'm not sure what my BF% is but I'm guessing around 30%. I had my son 8 months ago and I hit a whopping 202lbs when I was pregnant and I was also a whopping 181lbs before the pregnancy started!!! My goal is to get down around 115-120lbs and tone up.
So according to what I have read this is how my diet should work (I think..any advise would be great)
Monday- Saturday Evening (low carb days)
120g (480cal) protein / day (is that enough???)
less then 40g of carbs / day
and the rest of calories in fat????
1200-1400 cal / day (i'm not sure if this is right, is 1400 too many or is 1200 too few???)
eat only protien cals after workouts???(thats what i read but im not sure about it)
Saturday Evening - midnight Sunday (carb-up)
540g carbs (is that too much???)
120g protein
less then 54g fat
1500 cals
I'm really confused as to what to eat and NOT eat on carb up days!!!
My eating on low carb days have looked like this so far:
Meal 1:
1 egg
3 egg whites
30g cheddar cheese
1 green tea
Meal 2:
1 scoop of whey protein with water
Meal 3:
4oz chicken
30g feta cheese
Meal 4:
1 scoop of whey protein with water
Meal 5:
4 oz of chicken
2 cups of green veggies
1 green tea
Meal 6: (post workout)
1 scoop of whey protein with 1 cup skim milk
*I also drink 2.5-3 liters of water during the day*
I also lift heavy 4x a week and do cardio 6x a week
Any advise is really appreciated!!!!!
