Matt's a faster?! I started that about five years ago or more. For the sake of easy math, let's say you eat 3,000 calories a day for maintenance. Take one day a week and completely fast from dinner Friday to breakfast Sunday. Because I do it to help with my workouts more than to lose weight, I take those calories and spread them out over the other six days. In the easy math example above, that means I eat 3,500 calories a day from Sunday to Friday. That 500 calorie surplus (which is actually 500 to 1,000 calorie surplus in real life) does wonders for me on workouts. It doesn't help me lose fat, though. To lose fat, I go through a 4 to 8 week diet where I do the following. Take your bodyweight and multiply it by 10. That's how many calories you eat. To make sure you don't lose muscle, eat 1 to 1.2 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight at 4 calories each. If you're older, you can up that to 1.2 to 1.4. I'd say 40 and above. After that, go to fat. Eat 0.35 to 5 grams of fat per pound of bodyweight at 9 calories per. Don't screw with this too much and I keep it on the higher side. You need the fat to keep your hormone levels in check. That leave carbs.....and not much of them. Less than a hundred grams and usually around 50 or less with half of them eaten before I workout and the other half after at 4 calories per gram. No breads or pastas. They usually come from oatmeal for me. If your bodyfat percentage is over 25% then divide your weight by whatever your body fat percentage is then multiply it by 25 and use that weight for the number crunching.II lose about 2 to 3 pounds of fat per week when I do this and that's a lot considering my range is in low to mid teens in terms of percentage. Damn holiday season keeps preventing me from hitting the elusive single digits. At least I can pretty much eat like a horse six days a week during the holidays. Matt Hardy got me going off on a tangent about dieting. And fuck that carny Italian stallion. The best part of him ran down the crack of his momma's ass the day he was born.
