Please critique my diet as it pertains to my long term goals


(Jim O'Conner ) #1

I am 60 years old, 6’2", 171-175lbs, classic ectomorph. I dropped 30lbs over the last year on a bodybuilder-type diet, and resistance training. I estimate my body fat to be 20%. In the last month I have eliminated almost all grains, veggies, fruits, and nuts. Any carbs I get are either from dairy, beef liver, or avocado. I hypertrophy train in a pull/leg/push/OFF schedule. Cardio 3-4 times a week, abs…3 times a week. My goals, besides being healthy, is to increase muscle mass, and to reduce body fat. Here’s some numbers. Thanks.
Total cals…2788
Protein…239grams…35.9%cals
Net carbs…34.8grams…6.3%cals
Fat…183.9grams…57.8cals.

Way outside of my knowledge. Have you ever listened to the podcasts Human Performance Outliers, Muscle Expert, or High intensity Health? These might be good resources.
