Platti's Log - Leangains IF Diet

**Platti** · 04-01-2012 10:33 PM

After much reading through the leangains & getripped websites I'm going to give this diet a go. Going to document my stats and views here.

I could just do with a pointer in the right direction on my splits....I'm 6ft1, 207lbs and guessing about 20% bodyfat. Looking to do a cutting version of the diet to drop my fat to a satisfactory level where I'll decide whether to continue cutting or to up the cals a little and try and maintain.

I've used the IF Calc which is showing :-

Rest Days

Cals 2201
Carbs 171.3g
Fat 76.1g
Prot 207.6g

Training Days

Cals 2751
Carbs 240.1g
Fat 106.7g
Prot 207.6g

Currently working through the SL5x5 routine (see my other log) and will be at some point looking to move onto HST.

Never worked on my diet before other than trying to keep protein levels up so quite excited about the possible results. Going to spend maybe another week or 2 fine tuning what I need to do in terms of getting some eating plans and working out the best time to break the fast etc.

Any help / critique / questions / pointers, please throw them in.

Thanks

Hey man, can't give yuou any feedback but I am also just figuring out my numbers for IF. I will probably eat around 2,200 calories on training days and around 1500 on non training days. I'm 6ft and 90Kg (approx).

seem to be a lot of people doing IF at the mo..... Thing james said it some where its all about getting it set up tight to get the goals out of it.

Platti - I'd say your carbs are way too high or rest days and too low on training days.

Rash - I think your calories are too low on training days, you run the risk of losing lean tissue.

Dolph, really? Up it to 2700 and still see fat loss you think? 1500 calories post workout?

**asoe209** · 05-01-2012 01:40 AM

mine is set to around that number on workout days doing leangains

how did you calculate you calories?

**rash797** · 05-01-2012 09:09 AM

Used a calculator.. 1percent website or something like that..

**asoe209** · 05-01-2012 09:13 AM

was it the if calculator?

I used that at 1st but then opted for my own sums in the end as the calculator seemed a bit much in some areas like carbs.... thats me doing +20% and -20% calories on training and rest days.

but mine is still early in and just want to give it a few weeks at these numbers to see how it goes. plus i don't have the right foods yet.
