Sample:
1800 Calories- 43% Protein (197 grams), 30% Fat (60 Grams), 27% Carbohydrates (125 grams)
How to use the Dustin Diet
The key is to keep carbohydrates low during non-active time. We will save the majority of our carbs for post workout. Spiking insulin after a workout helps build lean muscle.
Steps to Dustin Diet
- Calculate your BMR- Your BMR is your Basal Metabolic Rate, or the amount of calories your body needs to maintain its current weight, at rest. We will try to eat 100-200 calories more than our BMR to start off, and adjust if needed.
- After determining amount of calories your diet will have, you need to figure out how many grams of protein, carbs, and fats you will need to fulfill your diet.
- Start experimenting with a meal plan (I use My Fitness Pal).
