    is this diet right?

    Hi there,

    I am a rugby player and have played at a semi-professional level in the UK in recent years. However, i have been in-active fo 16 months and only started training/Dieting again 2 weeks ago where i have lost about 10 pounds allready.

    I am currently approximatly 280 pounds and would like to return to 240 pounds. I am 6 fet 5 inches tall with a reasonable amount of muscle content.

    I would love to carry on loosing weight while also gaining/maintaining strength.

    I am now training 5 days a week but am pretty clueless with regards to nutrition!!?

    i think now i am dieting i am averaging about (daily):
    2000 calories
    80-90g fat
    230g carbs
    150g protein

    ANY HELP AS TO HOW TO BEST ACHIEVE MY INTENTION AND HOW TO CHANGE THE GIGERS ABOVE PLEASE LET ME KNOW

    thanks a ot!

    I think if your goal is to maintain strength then the easiest way to do that is to lose the weight slowly. protein should definitely be bumped up to around 275g, 250g on high carb days. For you carbs I would start out around 260 and gradually decrease. If you can't assess your carbs correctly then track your weight for a week and try to find out when you losing about 1 to 2 pounds a week and then stick with that carb content. Keep the fats to essential fats and around 80g a day. Don't forget some optional supps- fishoil, multi, thermogenic, and tonalin cla. GOOD LUCK!!!
