I was wondering if someone could go over my diet and let me know if they have any suggestions. I am 145 lbs and am looking to lose about 20-30 lbs. I am trying to do carb cycling...2 low carb days followed by a high carb. I am trying to lift 5-6 days a week and am doing 6-7 days of cardio on an empty stomach. I also kickbox two days a week. heres my diet:
low carb:
meal 1:1/2 cup oatmeal
protein shake with water
meal 2: 4 oz chicken
meal 3: 4 oz chicken or tuna
1/2 cucumber
meal 4: 4 oz lean ground beef or turkey
2 cups lettuce
meal 5: 3 egg beaters with one whole egg
high carb:
meal 1: 1/2 cup oatmeal
protein shake with water
meal 2: 1/2 cup brown rice
4 oz chicken
meal 3: 1/2 cucumber
4 oz chicken or tuna
meal 4: 4 oz chicken
1/2 sweet potato
meal 5: 4 oz lean ground beef or turkey
2 cups lettuce
meal 6: 4 beaters
You are eating more carbs on your low days, which is way to low anyway. A medium Sweet potato has about 30 grams, your eating 1/2 of that. low carb dieting is a good way to lose muscle fast. Its for fat fucks, at 145 i doubt your fat. and all that cardio is a recepie for disaster. pro bodybuilders do that much because they are huge and major juiced. drop the cardio, take your protein to 225 a day, carbs to 250 to 300 a day. what your on you'll lose the weight (by starvation) but it going to be all muscle. NO offense bro but @ 145 you cant afford to lose any,why the hell do you want to be 115 pounds.

Just curious...Does low carb mean muscle loss? I mean wouldn't calories be the most important factor? I'm 180 and doing 175g carbs/day...and seem to be maintaining my mass fine?
your around your body weight which will work, hes 75 below his weight. that would wipe me out quick. and that doesn't look like much calories. also no fat being eatin.
