I'm confused if i should be eating more, less or this is about right...I'm about 177lbs, 6' tall...I used to lift a lot but now i have to be careful and can't go big (2 ruptured discs in my lower spine) and surgery last october for a cervical disc rupture. I'm currently trying to get more cut, but don't want to lose what muscle i've salvaged...
A current sample day is about like this: I've been pretty strict...the worst thing i've eaten are mini bag of pretzels or turkey on wheat from subway...and 1 diet soda per day (are these ok or not)?
Carbs: 222 g
Fat: 37g
Protein: 179g
Total Calories: 1886
Does that seem about right? The plans are work out mon, tue, thu, fri...with cardio Wed and sat...sunday will be light jiu jitsu training so some more cardio in there.
I'm getting a fair amount of headaches (only been 3 days)...but i used to drink a fair amount of alcohol and drink a lot of caffeine (both of which i've limited or cut out). I'm also fairly hungry, but i used to eat VERY poor...tons of cheese steak, pizza, bacon cheese burger types of meals.
