We are now about 5.5 weeks out from the GNC / ALLMAX Canadian National Pro Qualifier where I am competing as a Master and Grand Master in Men's Physique attempting to earn my IFFB Pro Card! My goal is to post at least two videos per week where I talk about contest pre topics and give you updates on my progress and physique. Physique updates will happen towards the end of the week and other topics while be covered at the beginning of each week, at least that's the plan...

This week I am going over what I'm eating at this point in my contest prep and cover my daily calorie intake along with my macros. Right now I am sitting right around 2500 calories per day of food with my macros all fairly even, so 150 grams of protein, 150 grams of fat and 150 grams of carbs. Of course this is not exact but it is close. I know some people feel you need to cut back on the fats to lower calories but for me I just feel better with more fats and less carbs, I get way less bloat and feel more satiated with less cravings throughout the day on a higher fat diet.

I have been eating this way for a few months now eating about 2500 calories Monday to Friday with more flexible weekends but over the past month I have been getting a lot stricter on my weekends which is making a big difference in losing the fat. My weight has not dramatically changed as I am still right around 195 pounds but I am noticeably leaner and my strength has been slowly going up. All signs I am also building muscle not just losing fat.

Watch my video for some examples of what a typical day looks like in terms of how I eat. You may be a bit surprised as it is not what most people do during a contest prep ;)
