Diet

Hey guys,

My goal is to lose a lot of fat. I currently have the muscle mass, but I do not have the cut. I probably have around 20% BF and my goal is around 10% BF. I currently weigh 210lb, and I am 5'10".

Here is my diet that I got off of bodybuilding.com:

Meal 1:
8 egg whites
2 servings of oatmeal or grits (with fruit, honey, etc.)
1 protein drink

Meal 2:
2 skinless chicken breasts
2 plain baked potatoes
1 serving of broccoli

Meal 3:
2 pieces of baked fish or chicken
1 large serving of pasta (plain or with a low-fat sauce)
1 large salad (with a low-fat dressing - I use lemon juice)
1 protein drink

Meal 4:
2 skinless chicken breasts or red meat
1 large bowl of rice
1 banana

Meal 5:
2 servings baked turkey breast
2 yams or sweet potatoes
1 protein drink

Meal 6:
8 egg whites
1 skinless chicken breast
1 baked potato

How does that look? I plan to stay on that until I get the results I want.

make sure the rice is brown & you could prob do without the baked potato for meal 6 & 2 or replace it with oats..

where does your workout fit in? Meals look decent, although like dante said, you could probably do better than baked potatoes as you source of carbs, although pwo they could be beneficial. Seems like alot of protein though, how much are you taking in? How are you supplementing fats? I'd add 5-10g fats (healthy ones: avacodos, walnuts, almonds, peanuts, peanut butter, olive oil, fish/flax oil, etc) at each meal except pre and pwo meals. Also dont be afraid of whole eggs. A decent amount of saturated fats, 15-25% of your total fat intake is beneficial in testosterone production.

How fast are you trying to lose weight? know that at 210lbs at 20%bf, you have around 40lbs of fat to lose, thats to get to zero though, to get to 10% you need to lose around 25-30lbs, thats 25 weeks to lose the weight, at a 500 cal per day deficit. You may want to find out how many cals your taking in, and how many cals you want to be below maintenance. Too many cals below and you may lose alot of muscle as well, too little and it will take a very long time to drop the weight.

Add up the numbers and see if it fits your goals. www.fitday.com

Good luck,

well

Thanks for the suggestions. I actually just started Twin Peaks carb cycling, but its hard for me because I have to make my own meals, etc, and I am not much of a nutritionist.. On my "No-Carb" days, I usually just have 6 meals a day with no carbs and high protein.. is that ok? Do I really ahve to count numbers?
