Planning my diet?
Been reading and what not and this is what I've came up with so far. This is the beginning stage of my diet. I will build off this unless you guys tell me otherwise.
I am planning on doing a 55/30/15 percentages for a 2500 calorie diet.
Protein- 750 calories, 188 grams
Carbohydrates- 1375 calories, 344
Fat- 375 calories, 42 grams
Using the calorie calculator: (3655-2500)/3500 = 9.9 lbs for a month.
I've read that you should eat 6 meals a day every 3 hours. With my schedule right now I'm thinking five meals a day and a snack. My snack would probably have to be in the morning since I eat breakfeast around 7 and don't have the oppurtunity to eat lunch until 1130. 41/2 hours seems to long to go without eating nething. This is just what I'm thinking but if you guys have any suggestions please comment.

It seems reasonable for the most part, but how much do you weigh? That seems like a pretty aggressive rate of weight loss to me. I usually like to be a little more conservative than that in order to insure that I maintain my muscle mass.
The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

What is it exactly that you are trying to accomplish, and what are your current stats?

5' 10"- 220 lbs. I know I'm fat. That's why I'm here. I seem to have little fat on my legs compared to how much I have on my gut. I'm not that much into retaining as much muscle as possible. I'd like to lose the fat and then build the muscle.
As for what I'm trying to accomplish: Lose fat, be healthier, and look better. I think those are goals of lots of people on this forum.
Thanks,
-John
Also heres what I've broken down my five meals to:
Five meals per day
500 calories per meal
Protein- 150 calories, 37 grams
Carbohydrates-275 calories, 69 grams
Fat- 75 calories, 7 grams of fat

I think your fats are too low. I think you should go up to the mid to upper 70s.
