So here's the thing, with the way my work schedule is and life in general, I don't think I will ever be able to obtain a totally CLEAN diet (one that involves counting calories, no junk food at all, eating 6 small meals a day, etc.)
But I thought the pattern that I developed would be efficient but I have GAINED 20 lbs over the last 3 months, from 177lbs - 182lbs to just over 200 lbs right now. The muscle definition is still there and I have only had a 4 pack, the bottom abs were never developed, but the weight shows me at over 200lbs and I can feel additional fat deposits along my sides.
Here's what I eat over a 24 hour period:
- A Subway Footlong on Wheat bread, turkey, ham and 1 piece of bacon, no cheese. Then I load it with lettuce, onions and green peppers along with Olive Oil.
- The Footlong is spread out over 2 meals within 10-13 hours. So I'll eat a 6 inch of it at let's say 1:00 p.m. and the other half at 7:00 p.m. With each footlong meal I have a small handful of Baked Chips and 1 chocolate chip cookie, with about 3 bottles of water.
- Then I would do about 1 Protein Shake and also use Apple Juice to cut it with because I can't drink it straight.
So over a 24 hour period it would be:
7 a.m. - Protein Shake with Apple Juice
11 a.m. - Subway 6 inch with chips
6:00 p.m. - Subway 6 inch with chips
Midnight - Protein Shake with Apple Juice
On some days I would buy a whole Boston Market chicken to replace the Subway meals, I would eat a half a chicken during each meal with a side of Corn.
I have been doing this for about 3 months and notice the weight GAIN. When I wasn't doing this, I was still following this eating schedule but I would have Mcdonalds meals in there of a small fry and 8 piece nuggets, or I would make a fish or chicken small fried meal at home.
Based on the last 3 months it appears as though when I was eating the fried meals I kept my weight down at the 177-182 range which is where I want to be. But when I switched to the Subway and Boston Market ones I gained the weight as noted.
Does ANYBODY have any suggestions on this?
