gonna be hard to put it all down in one meal (but should make for interesting feasts lol)

ONE MEAL??

DONT TRY TO EAT THAT AT ONE MEAL.

5-6 meals a day!! SPREAD IT OUT

also, im always out with my friends and we go out to fast food restaurants alot. im trying to cut, but when im faded + hungry its really hard to resist, but usually i get like 2-3 chicken sandwhiches and take off all the bread except for 1 sandwhiche's worth and stack them all so i cut out 2/3 of the bread. this only happens once every few days, would this hinder my cutting alot?

Hey, i'm 5'9 and about 180-185 and looking to clean bulk i don't care about trying to gain fast as possible as long as i get stronger i'm currently doing Westside1 and jogging 10 miles a week to keep my cardio in decent shape i may switch to Westside3 if i think the number of squats are lacking.

Looking for a cal range and a some meal examples or just a plan.

this is where he tells/pms you about some fad diet hes trying

people need to realize there is no possible way to deny smaller meals are more beneficial, cant think of a single con.

just out of curiosity again, what would you think about this proposal my exercise science teacher has made about figuring out an Estimated Daily Energy Expenditure? this could be used to figure out a very accurate amount of required calories to maintain bodyweight, then it can further be used to adjust caloric intake to either gain or lose

Basal Metabolic Rate (I'm sure you are highly familiar with this)

Habitual Physical Activity (non-planned exercise)(HPA = (BMR * (15-25%)) (the 15-25% depends on the activity level of an individual during the day)

Programmed Physical Activity (aka training/ measured in METs -aka metabolic equivalent)(1 MET = 3.5 ml Oxygen used/ kg bodyweight * min) (there is an actual resource that lists the number of METS for any type of training activity, it is very extensive)

Thermic Effect of Feeding (energy cost of digestion, transportation, delivery, and storage of nutrients) TEF=((BMR+HPA+PPA)*(6-10%)) (the 6-10% depends on the amount of food consumed and the number of times that one eats)

the Estimated Daily Energy Expenditure would then be the sum of all four components

I guess my major question is, have you ever encountered anything such as this? Or would you say my professor is a bit off? haha

if you read my original question, i'm doing a modified Warrior Diet (interval fasting).

just dont eat the bread at all and you're set.

for your height and weight, 2,500 cal a day is good for bulking with your activity level.

However, I would recommend at least 5-6 meals a day...by spreading it out you are enhancing your metabolism and preventing unnecessary fat gain.

Stick to first 4 meals of carbs, last 2 meals no carbs. Get a good 30g sugar post workout and stick to complex carbs otherwise.

meal 1 - 3 whole eggs, oatmeal, 1 banana
meal 2 - 1 can tuna + whole grain bread + 1 apple + raw veggies
meal 3 - 1 chix breast or lean meat + brown rice + broccoli
meal 4 (post worktou) - protein shake + dextrose/waxy maize/fruit
meal 5 - 1 medium steak or chicken + green veggies
meal 6 - cottage cheese + mixed nuts

warrior diet is bullshit...may have worked on people 10,000 years ago....but if you look at any successful bodybuilder/powerlifter/athlete etc - none of them do "1 giant meal" per day.
