So here's my plan to start losing fat and maintain my current muscle level. I'm going to be 18 in 5 months, I'm 6'3, and about 210 pounds. I make sure to drink more than enough water throughout the day, get a good amount of sleep, and train hard. I only eat 100% whole grain bread, and I haven't had chips or any sugary/soft drinks for years now which is what helped me come down to a manageable 210 lbs, by eating clean (from 240 lbs during my offensive lineman days). I've been as low as 178 when playing rugby, but I'm not sure how much muscle I lost as I wasn't keeping track back then.
This is the order: 310g (high), 160g (med), 40g (low). High, Med, low, repeat (is it okay to make sunday a low-carb day?)
I already posted my High-carb day, but for those who haven't seen it already I will copy/paste it here. The only info I'm not 100% sure of is the nutrient for chicken; different websites have given me different numbers, but I'm using this set for 5oz (140G), let me know if it sounds about right: 231 cal, 43g protein). 1200mg fish oil is taken for breakfast and supper, in case I left it out anywhere on my list. Anyone is welcome to leave ANY feedback at all, it will definitely help.
