I'm the sort of person who needs a rough goal to aim for but can make adjustments if needed.

Now that I know my starting point is 69kg I want to get to 85kg.

See how I go achieving this. If I make great progress I might go for 90 but if i find it hard I'll stick to 85 as the goal for now.

I also have mates that play basketball so I'd like to be fit enough to play at a decent level with that. I don't want to join them as such but knowing I could just step into something like that is a rough fitness goal to aim for.

This is very doable mate. I started at 69kgs and got up to 106kgs before I started to cut. Now sitting around 93kgs on a slow bulk up to 95-100kgs. Eat until your full..... then smash a protein shake. :)!

It's a bit of a myth, as pointed out above check Ketogains.
Also maybe if you try a low carb-high protein version you will enjoy it more, plus if your lifting the protein is way better than high fat.


Gluconeogenesis – The worst name for a rock band ever
Ketogains
"At least three times a week I am engaged either in the Facebook group or other places asking questions that generally go like this: “At what point do I eat too much protein and go into gluconeogenesis ?” So I wanted to provide a more thought out answer, so here goes...

..... At this point, you’re probably asking yourself, “What is the takeaway from the science?” The best that the scientific studies can tell us is this: The rate of gluconeogenesis is essentially fixed, and there’s not much that we can do to change it. Certainly, what you eat can manipulate insulin and slow down GNG, but there is no evidence that we can speed up GNG by consuming more protein (or lactate, or glycerol, or anything else).

the ketogains theory that gluconeogenesis is a demand driven as opposed to being driven by excessive protein consumption is not not supported by any scientific literature whatsoever. darthluigi has seriously misrepresented the contents of the studies cited in that article

What do you guys usually eat for breakfast. I find it the hardest meal of the day for me to want to eat. I've always had the habit of starting my day and eating a little after I've gotten up.

My plan to fight this is premade breakfast burritos.

Eggs, bacon, sausage mince, cheese wrapped in a tortilla and ready to pull out and microwave for a meal.

Will toy with the recipe a bit and share what I come up with. Might try more whites in the egg mix etc.

Once I get this down I'll get into the protein muffins.
 
Just black coffee or green tea for me.

If I'm at home my first meal is usually after midday sometime, otherwise not til whenever I get home in the afternoon or evening.

30 days in and loving it, training 6 days anweek, feeling great, I lost 5kg first 2 weeks but have put 2.5kg back on and I am 8cm down on my waist, not missing coffee or veg, I'm currently eating 3 times a day around 1.5 to 2.5 kg of meat, mainly eating beef,some pork, lamb chicken and fish.
 
For the weekly meal preppers has anyone used fish? And if so how did you prepare it, what did you eat it with etc?

That's brilliant. I have been following a bloke on FB who is giving daily rundowns and posting BGs and Ketones, the interesting thing is with the very high protein amount his BGs are right at the base of normal, and in his words it puts to bed (for his n=1 anyway) excess protein turning to sugar.

I was going to do the second wave but had to dip out because of a hernia opp, but going to start my own in October-Dec for 6 weeks just after the GF is over.
Really looking forward to it.
 
Certain kinds of fish are fine to eat raw if that's your style just cut it to size and whack it in

Depending on the kind of fish you'd like to use over cooking is something to easily do by accident so if you'd be zapping it in the microwave that's something to consider.
