battman Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) I really want to become more strong and leaner, something like this (http://i.ytimg.com/vi/0w7LxPh5ppQ/maxresdefault.jpg)I just started on foundation 1, and is heading down that road to achieve my goals.But what about my nutrition, i really dont like the bodybuilding type of way to eat, i think its way to stressful to all the time to think about eating, and i dont want that type of stress in my life.I try to eat healthy with many veggies and get alot of water.My day could look like this:Breakfast: Oatmeal with milk, and some juice.Lunch: Chicken, veggies and rice.Dinner: Meat, Rice/potatoes, veggies.Snack if i want to is typical Nuts and fruit. Can i achieve a body like his this way? Edited February 24, 2015 by battman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshua Slocum Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 You're on a right track. Eat lots of veggies, eat enough protein, and avoid highly refined foods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battman Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 But what about all that surplus thing that bodybuilders, keep talking about. Should i forget that, and just eat like i posted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Slocum Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 You don't need a massive caloric surplus, but you do need to make sure you're getting enough calories and protein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battman Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Okay so would you recomend to keep doing what i do now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amar654 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 That depends on how much chicken/meat you are consuming. Your breakfast is largely low-protien from the looks of it. Personally I think the whole 1g per pound of bodyweight of protein thing was a scam made up by supplement companies to sell more protein. I figure I get around 130-150 g of protein each day and I am doing fine, even when I was powerlifting for football. As for determining caloric surplus, I think each BMR is a personal thing. The whole online calcualtors never worked for me. What I found to be a good way to find our BMR was this;Record what you eat daily, your normal diet. Count up the calories at the end of each day. DO this for 7 days Take the number for each day and add them up, then divid by seven. The number you get is your new BMR. Add 100-200 calories on top of that to put on muscle. If you stop gaining muscle, add 100-200 calories again. This way you wont "spill over" (I.E gain fat) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
