Bodybuilding competition diet plan 5 weeks out!

I'm far too impatient with the weight loss process. If only it would fall off me as fast as it jumped on during that epic week off! I need to sit back, breathe and let the effects of my diet and training regime take place. I've started weight training in the mornings now and I can actually feel the difference in energy I have from training basically as soon as I've woken up as opposed to what I'm used to which is doing whatever throughout the day then training at 4pm which is what I've always done. I've purchased a new isolate whey protein & Udo's oil. This is what my diet has been since Monday 3rd.

Diet Plan

• Meal 1 – 7am Pre Workout | 50g Oats (with water) | 

Calories = 178kcals Carbohydrates = 30g Protein = 5g Fat = 4g

• 1 Tablespoon Udo's oil

Calories = 135kcals Carbohydrates = 0g Protein = 0g Fat = 29g

• USN Pure Protein IGF-1 (with water)

Calories = 203kcals Carbohydrates = 2g Protein = 40g Fat = 3g

• Meal 2 – 10am Post Workout | 100g Salmon & 100g Sweet Potato |

Calories = 290kcals Carbohydrates = 28g Protein = 24g Fat = 8g

• USN Pure Protein IGF-1 (with water)

Calories = 203kcals Carbohydrates = 2g Protein = 40g Fat = 3g

• Meal 3 – 1pm | 150g Chicken breast & 100g Sweet Potato |

Calories = 302kcals Carbohydrates = 28g Protein = 37g Fat = 4g

• Meal 4 – 4pm | 130g Tuna & 100g Sweet Potato |

Calories = 268kcals Carbohydrates = 28g Protein = 30g Fat = 0g

• Meal 5 – 6.30pm | 150g Chicken breast & 100g Sweet Potato |

Calories = 302kcals Carbohydrates = 28g Protein = 37g Fat = 4g

·         

• Meal 6 – 9pm | Egg & Onion Omelette |

Ingredients – 8 eggs (4 Whites, 4 whole), Half a red onion.

Calories = 414kcals Carbohydrates = 7g Protein = 41g Fat = 23g

Total Calories - 2295kcals

Total Carbohydrates - 153g  

Total Protein - 254g 

Total Fat - 78g 

I took out 100g of sweet potato from meals 3,4,5 & 6. 400g total. Bringing my carbohydrate intake down by 112g. Possibly too much a rapid decrease because I'm starving and cheating with PhD diet whey bars which are costing me 181kcals each (Protein 25g Carbs 14g Fat 4.7g). I keep telling myself 1 or 4 won't hurt. On the contrary Aaron, yes they will. This foolishness stops today...I'll just say though the chocolate cookie flavour is angelic and I've only got 3 left in the box...of 12...which I opened on Monday.

Cellucor Whey Isolate Protein
1 scoop 130kcals, Protein 30g
Carbohydrates 4g, Fat 0g.
Udo's Oil
1 Tablespoon 135kcals, Protein 0g
Carbohydrates 0g, Fat 29g.

I haven't included the Cellucor whey isolate protein into my diet plan because I've not started taking it yet, I might start on Monday 10th. Just depends when my USN Pure Protein runs out. As for the Udo's oil, apparently the best source of essential fatty acids omega 3,6 & 9s out there. Without getting into too much science because there's a lot; these fatty acids are good fats the body needs. (Monounsaturated & Polyunsaturated fats) the more of those I consume in my diet, the more bad fats (Saturated) my body will get rid off. It doesn't taste very nice but just a good sign it's doing something right I guess! When I drop my Carbs again on Monday 10th I'll add another tablespoon of Udo's oil to increase my fats further and compensate for some of the calories lost just to make sure I'm not calorie deficient.
