Hi guys, I've been working out for about 2-3 months.
I'm planning to de-load this week (actually more like forced to... Pulled a chest muscle quite badly till it hurts every time I take a breath. Deep breaths = a world of pain).
So my 'deloading' will be a 100% rest (since I can't really breath hard anyway) instead of lowering my weights etc.
Also, I'm bulking.

My question is:
Should I just maintain my diet?
Been getting at least 1g protein per pound bodyweight and eating as clean as possible.
Have gained about 2-2.5kg in a month and a week.

I've been reading a few articles and a lot of them states that it should be the same.
A pro trainer said that he lets his students relax both mentally and physically (ie: not really caring whether they're getting 3 or 6 meals a day, a bit more cheat meals but not junking of course).

Will it be bad if I actually take a little under maintenance? I mean I was wondering if I can actually try to lose a little bit of fat for that week or will it not matter at all?

Cheers.

You sure your macros are accurate?

Am cutting with 1.5-2g of protein per Lbs of bodyweight.

Don't worry so much about it,get better first!

Pedro, would you mind sharing your macro for cutting with me for comparison purpose? I'm 204.6 lbs with 126.72 lbs lean body mass at 38% body fat and 1987kcal calorie needed for cutting . Right now I'm taking 1.55g protein per lean body mass, 0.8g fat per lean body mass and the balance will be carb. Although I have 90g++ for carb, I tend to take around 30++ and replace them with protein.

So, this is my daily macro intake: 197g protein, 101g fat and 73g carb. But then, I would reduce the carb intake (low-carb and low-calorie diet) thus my daily macro intake would be 233g protein, 101g fat, 27g carb.

So far, I've seen the effect. Manage to rid a lot of fat in my body but if there is a better way, why shouldn't I try right?

No problem!

Maintenance:1900
Weight:190Lbs
Bodyfat: About 15%

Training days:
Protein: 300g
Fat:60g
Carbs:200g

Off days:
Protein: 220g
Fat:180g
Carbs:<30g

Yours seems fine,mine are a bit off as I don't remember the exact values,just round off to lowest to be safe!

Wow, that's really strict dude.
Is it possible for you to list a sample days worth of food?
Seriously impressed here.
Well, I've never been a big eater and 1g per lbs is already pretty hard for me.

I just stock everything in the fridge and then decide what to eat depending on how lazy I am!

Salmon
Ground beef
Chicken
Broccoli
Bell Peppers
Onions
Eggs
Oats
Peanut butter

No fixed diet,I just rotate among these whenever I feel like it.

Its not that strict actually,I even eat at mamaks occasionally.

I use supps to complete whatever is required.

It just has to fit the macros!

Pedro, can you tell me what do you eat to achieve that 60g/180g fat? I used to get my fat intake through butter, eggs, and fat from minced meat and I just learned from my friend that animal fat is saturated fat and it is bad for our body. Is it right?
*
Correct,but one egg has 5g of fat and only 1.5g of that is saturated.

QUOTE(janson_kaniaz @ Apr 23 2012, 06:35 AM)
olive oil? coconut oil? flax seed oil? etc?
*
Correct!

Salmon and Peanut butter as well.
Fish oil!
