    First time post Nutrition Help

    Hello everyone, I am looking for a good nutrition program to get bigger and more cut. I am 21 and not looking to enter into any competitions or anything, just looking to get cut, maybe a comparison would be to a cover guy for Mens Health or something. I lift 4-6 times a week, weight about 180 and I am 5'11". I've got my whey protein and my MRP's already so I usually take the protein once a day and the MRP's if I feel I need them.

    I know a small amount about nutrition, but would like to get some opinions on what percentages of Protein, Fats and Carbs I should eat each day, how many calories I should take in each day, and what foods are good to eat each day and at what times.

    I am also really knew to this site so all of the abbreviations are a little confusing, so if you could explain any that you use, that would be a big help. Thanks everyone.

    Bill

    First, try reading all of the earlier threads regarding, bulking, cutting, maintenance. Also, what does your training consist of and do you know your approximate bf%?

    I'm not exactly sure what my body fat would be, could you get an idea from the fact that you cant see a 4 pack on my stomach at rest that looks decent, if I flex you can see it etched out pretty well, and you can see reminents of my lower stomach. I'd say 10-15 maybe, but I am just guessing.

    My workout
    chest-shoulders
    flat bench-225 6 times is what Im up to
    flat flies
    incline and decline bench and flies
    cable crossovers
    inner presses

    I will do 4-6 of these exercises each time I hit the gym, usually do chest twice a week

    Bi's and Tri's
    flat bar curl
    Preacher curl-EZ bar and Isolated
    standings curls
    Incline curls
    Cable curls

    Nosebreakers
    V-bar push downs
    Rope pushdowns
    overhead extensions
    Over hand and underhand push downs

    Legs and Back
    Squats
    Leg Press
    Extensions
    Hammy extensions
    Lounges

    rows
    bent over rows
    wide grip and close grip pulldowns
    good mornings
    shrugs

    I do stomach 2 or 3 times a week with a set workout, sometimes mixing it up.

    I do not do legs religiously, but usually do them.

    I also do cardio in the form of hockey and soccer twice a week, and I will do the bike or eliptical machine for 30 mins once a week.

    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    It's my least favorite to do and I have bad knees from being a hockey goalie for 12 years.

    I feel you on the knee thing. I dislocated my knee cap and tore my ACL going into the corner for a puck 2 years ago.

    If I was you I would tkae the whey protein more than once a day.
