Everything Else Follows.

These are per day, based on your body weight. Adjust to your goal — cut weight? Add protein. Maintain? Keep carbs moderate.

Body Weight Protein (g) Carbs (g) Fats (g) Calories
140–160 lbs 160–180 180–200 70–80 2,000–2,200
160–180 lbs 180–200 200–230 80–90 2,200–2,500
180–200 lbs 200–220 230–260 90–100 2,500–2,800
200–220 lbs 220–250 260–290 100–110 2,800–3,100
Protein rule: Eat it at every meal. 30–40g per main meal minimum. Protein is non-negotiable — it's what rebuilds muscle and keeps you anabolic.

4-Day Training Week

Boxing. Kettlebell.

Rest Days (3x per week)

No structured training. Walk 20–30 minutes if you want, but keep it easy. Sleep 8–9 hours. Eat to the macro targets. This is where the adaptation happens — training breaks you down, rest builds you back up.

Foundation Stack

What I Take.
And Why.

Whey Protein Isolate

Post-workout. 25–30g. Fast-absorbing, high leucine content. Mandatory if you want to maximize muscle protein synthesis.

Casein Protein

Before bed. 25–30g. Slow release overnight. Keeps you anabolic while you sleep — especially important past 40.

Fish Oil (EPA+DHA 2–3g/day)

Essential fatty acids. Most guys don't get enough omega-3s. Supports testosterone, joint health, and brain function.

Vitamin D3 (4000–5000 IU)

Especially in winter. Supports immune function, testosterone, and mood. Get blood levels tested if you can.

Creatine Monohydrate (5g/day)

Supports strength, power output, and cognitive function. The most researched supplement in sports nutrition. No need to cycle it.

ZMA (Zinc + Magnesium)

Before bed. Supports recovery and sleep quality. Especially useful if training hard and under stress.
