You need to drop calories more. You are now eating at maintenance.

FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal track your food, post up your average calories, include the cheats.

Ditch the glutamine, eat some toast.

More carb here, starches, oats, rice, something like that.


Needs some fats


Move this to right after your post-workout protein shake.


Like I said, track on fitday. We need calories, total grams fat, carb, protein.

Any supplements?
How much water do you drink a day?

If you want to drop more weight, drop your calories daily, a good example of this is if your on a 200 callorie diet, drop the diet down to 1500, you just droped 500 Calories a day, your body sets itself in a routine, lowering the intake shoves it out of the routine. The body will start to consume the fat, and some muscle in order to replace the calories not being fed to your body.
Make sure you drink enough water. You make here that diet is a big part of bodybuilding, its true, but its even a bigger part of losing weight. Try cutting your daily calorie intake by 500, if you do that, see how it works for a month, I think it will work great for you. If that isn't good enough, cut it some more.

Here is what I would do if I had the same goals as you. I would cut out 500 Calories and see how much I lose in one month. If I don't lose the amount I like, I would cut a bit more out. You can keep doing this until you get to your ideal weight. Also, it sounds like your working out a lot. People think they are going to pack on all this muscle and lose all this weight at the same time, it dosen't work like that. You can lose weight while working out but you end up losing a lot of muscle mass with it, this is from personal expierence. Focus on one, tailor your Diet and workout around ether losing fat or putting on muscle, it makes it much easer for you.

I would lok into one of those fat burning programs, there on tv all the time. I think one of them said that it can burn 1000 or 2000 calories a hour? Thats a lot in such a little amount of time, look into this maybe. Also, if you focus on losing fat without the muscle gain, you don't have to worry about any new gains being lost, so you can do more Cardio. The more Cardio would promote more weight loss.

I hope this helps you.
