Thank you very much for the compliment.

Yes hes a major juice head lol, not to mention the lebbo genetics.

I'm pretty strong but I look like a bag of dead cats, and I'm bored of people saying 'do you play rugby?' and my favorite 'youre really solid - you should start lifting weights cause youd be huge!'.

I'll still be powerlifting with either PPP or 5/3/1 but I want to have the diet to back it up. If it ends up being too much of a pain in the ass at very least I will have learnt a few things to stay healthier and hopefully train harder.

This lifestyle is something I'm very passionate about.

Haha, i had that same comment at the gym a few weeks ago. "Do you play rugby?" No but I wish I could lift like some of them...

Whats your diet like now?

My dieting history:

When I first started I ate like a normal person but boosted my protein intake to 1g. After a while I wanted 'serious gains' but not having a job i didnt have the money, so I drank 3L of milk everyday and ate a kg of meat whenever it was put in front of me. I gained a lot of muscle, but a lot of fat too.

75-87.5kg

Eventually I got bored of that and figured out I could keep packing on mass by going to mcdonalds everyday. My gf at the time gave me this for christmas:

After that I got to 95kg, but that last 5kg was pretty much just fat. So in the summer I started eating a little less and got somewhere like this:

2010 was hectic uniwise. I ended up having a massive breakdown a couple of weeks ago where I was eating roughly every second day and not training much (though I got under the bar and squat 185 not long ago, go figure). I lost a lot of weight and now look like this @ 90kg:

I've recently fixed up my diet a bit. Currently it is:

Breakfast: 6 weetabix, 2 glasses of milk, almonds, coffee

Lunch: multigrain bun, 350-300g of turkey/chicken breast, 2-3 pieces of fruit, cheese

Post workout: 2 glasses of milk, 2 scoops of whey protein, half scoop of coca powder

Dinner: whatever mum makes (eg bake)

I really have no idea how to put everything together. I understand calorie intake, protein, carbs, fat, ratios etc but putting it all together is a mess and theres never enough fruit/vegetables for my liking.

I recently went offsite to bb.com and got some help there to avoid broism and bath milk. I'm hoping when i read through these books I'll have a better idea of what I'm doing.

Thanks Markos, I'll need every bit of it.

I'd been reading around. Layne, Aragon and McDonald seem to be the Rippetoes of the nutrition world so I'm putting my money on them.

My only concern is that the protein intake might need to to a lot higher (as ironaddict and doggcrapp espouse). If I'm able to organise myself however the change to 2g per pound of bodyweight won't be difficult.
