Some updates as I replace some food items. I'm trying to focus on micronutrients from food especially from my carb sources.Current macros daily (technically a low day)
245g Protein
75g fat
275g carbs
Approximately 2755 Cal
Meal 1: 1 banana, 2 rice cakes, 30g cashews, 60g whey protein.
Meal 2: 200g chicken breast, 200g brown rice, 1tsp olive oil
Meal 3: 200g chicken thighs, 100g potatoes, 100g brown rice, spinach
Meal 4: 3 whole eggs, 50g cream of wheat, 10g dried apples, 10g rasins, 60g whey protein
Meal 5: 150g extra lean ground beef(fat drained off) 150g pasta, 3 tbsp tomato sauce.
Currently sorta reverse dieting after my recent cycle/ recomp. I did 5 low days and then 2 junk loading days which worked to grow and get leaner. By the end of it the two junk days were an additional 3000cal each so i had 6000cal in total to slowly distribute over the next few weeks or i just keep things a tad lower during the week and have my cheat meal for one day.
IDK but I'm ravenously hungry lol
Meal 1: 120g boiled sweet potato + 60g whey chocolate protein(surprisingly tasty) , 2 rice cakes, 30g cashews
Meal 2: 200g chicken breast, 100g brown rice, 100g boiled sweet potato, 5g of butter
Meal 3: 200g chicken thighs, 100g potatoes, 100g brown rice, spinach
Meal 4: 3 whole eggs, 175g chickpeas, ,50g of sourdough flax bread
, 30g whey protein. Meal 5: 150g extra lean ground beef(fat drained off) 150g pasta, 3 tbsp tomato sauce.
The meals might not be in that particular order.
So basically cut down on some of the rice in favor of carb sources packed with micronutrients.
God bless your digestion for handling all the fiber lol.Some updates as I replace some food items. I'm trying to focus on micronutrients from food especially from my carb sources.

Absolutely love sweet potatoes but they’re always a gamble for me. Sometimes they digest fine, other times they make me gassy.
I have been sorting through a bit of gas, i suspect it will take a bit of time. I might have to raise or lower certain foods to get the portions right. I find its about getting the right kinds of fiber too. Baby carrots + psyllium works to keep things moving instead of sticking around too long and fermenting. I might have to add that back in.
How did you cook your sweet potatoes? Boiling it keeps the glycemic index really low whereas baking it basically turns it into candy.
Overall digestion is good besides a bit of gas, I'm ready to eat on schedule every 3hrs. I'm really trying to get the meal timing right with insulin and such, it can be difficult to manage.
A little gas comes with the territory when bodybuilding lol. As long you’re not super bloated and uncomfortable.
I roast mine in my air fryer. I’d imagine that would be similar to baking it
Definitely, but for my wife's sake I'd rather keep it to a minimumA little gas comes with the territory when bodybuilding lol. As long you’re not super bloated and uncomfortable.

If you're up to it try boiling it and also no skin. Apparently the skin is the culprit for gas with some people.
