Like what?.. just cause I'm not dieting now doesn't mean I haven't done it in the past with proper coaching etc.. or that I have no experience with it. Me dieting right now would be counter productive to my goals etc.. I have a feeling we have completely different dieting ideologies sense you say there are holes but I'm always willing to learn especially from you coach :PQuote:

Matt,
First, congratulations on losing the 60-70 lbs.
As far as ideas go:
Looking at your diet, you may want to increase your protein intake if you are going to start lifting. The general rule is 1 - 1.5 g of protein per lb of lean body mass (especially when cutting), which would put you in the 190 - 280 grams per day range. One "standard" food you may want to consider to help support lifting is cottage cheese. It provides a large amount of protein, not much carb, and not much fat (depending on the % you get). It is also a Casein based protein, so it will digest slowly. A lot of lifters eat it before bed for this reason.
When you start lifting, you may want to add a Whey shake (50 g of protein) immediately after lifting to help with recovery, and then add a small tub (4 servings) of cottage cheese before bed time. This would add about 500 calories and 100 grams of protein to your diet.
There are a lot of factors involved, but adding lifting to rolling 4 times per week, and cardio, may leave you over trained. You may need to cut out some of your cardio when you start lifting. The research I have read indicates that in may cases, lifting is actually a better choice for fat burning anyway.
A site I like for very scientifically based articles on training and diet is http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/. You may find some interesting information there.
Good luck.
Hence my comment, holes.............lots of them.Quote:

I still don't know whats wrong with them because they're tried and tested methods.. Like Carb cycling.. why are you calling me out on that? Best way to lose some fat maintain or gain a bit of strength.Quote:

http://www.johnberardi.com/ very respected gentleman right here.. high up on the food chain.
That chart I posted is from John Romaniello and is a guideline used by many, he writes tons of good stuff as well.. meant to site it but couldn't edit.
http://elitefts.com/ Dave Tate/Jim Weidner are beast.. read and absorb
http://www.t-nation.com/ tons of great stuff/articles(also some not so much).. combat forum is fairly active as well. A great community.. don't be stupid they'll call you out :P
Some decent information, but just a warning, most of those guys are on steroids (many openly), or are advising based on assumed steroid use. If you are "Juicing", then it is okay at face value, but if you are natural, a lot the advice on t-nation and elitefts will severely over train you (I haven't read JohnBerardi.com, so I can't pass judgment).Quote:

However the majority of the posters do not(I would recommend reading more of the discussions through the threads more then the articles.. the articles are just good for change of pace when you're bored imo, although some are really good.)..Quote:

But mixing in power lifting ideologies and Olympic lifting ideologies.. with some complexes on 3-5 week cycle and a week deload fits in pretty well with any sport... with some tweaks here and there at least imo. I also like joe defranco and zach evenesh(hes small time) a lot if you know who those guys are.
