Alright bro i understand that, i to don't want to be a "massive bodybuilder" either 225lb max.
"healthy physique for the rest of my life"
This is what I ate today:
Meal 1:
4 whole eggs
2 tsp butter
Meal 2:
30 g Part Skim Motzerella
30 g Marble Cheddar
1/2 Cup Green Beans
1 oz. Almonds
Meal 3:
3 oz. Avacado
2 Tbsp. Natty Peanut Butter
3/4 Scoop whey
Meal 4:
3 oz. Prime Rib
1/2 Cup Broccoli
30 g Marble Cheddar
Meal 5:
3 oz. Prime Rib
1 oz. Almonds
Meal 6:
3/4 scoop
casein
3 Tbsp. Natty Peanut butter
I think you need to clean up the diet and choose cleaner choices of meat, like chicken and fish, stick to the nuts, avacado and fish oils for healthy fats not butter.
How much cardio are you doing each week?
I guess this is a little off topic but is the ECA stack the only way for you to lean up? I have never done it my self but if i have to do it next year for a show maybe you can tell me more about it.
