Time to get lean.

[Dreadlox]

Ok football is over for me. No more College or Semi-Pro. I'm retiring at the age of 24. I've always been into weight lifting and nutrition due to playing but now I don't see the need for the extra poundage that I carry at 6feet 3inches 275lbs. I don't have a current weight goal. I'll know when I get there.
But my main goal with this diet is to keep muscle (build where I need to) while loosing this baby fat

I'd replace the beagle with a bagel.

Jeff98, good lookin, I was going to suggest that myself, to early in the morning for dog. Other then that the diet looks good to me, maybe just a little more protein at breakfast... and don't forget the EFA's..

ditch the pineapple and bagel in meal 1. add in more protein as suggested in that meal.

Id have the MRP at 9:30 rather tahn 8:30 since you just ate at 7am.

Im also not an advocate of protein bars (ie.3pm). Once in a while would be fine but not on a reliable daily basis. Whole food would be better. do you like cottage cheese? its fast and portable. You could also add some EFA's in there as well.

perhaps space you meals out a bit more. something like this..
7am
9:30am
12pm
3pm
5:30-6pm
8:30-9pm

you last meal would of course be light and generally lean protein and EFA's (fiberous veggies too if you want) .. unless u just worked out. This combonation would allow for a sustained slow release of amino acids during sleep for muscle repair, etc.

A beagle? You're eating a poor lil dog? Jk I'm just messing with ya. I know you mean bagel.

By goal, what do you mean? If you're strong enough-why not get into a powerlifting contest or bodybuilding contest? The competitiveness is still there and you dont burnout as quickly. I know, I've been there.

I would ditch the bagel for whole oats, and the rice for beans. you need a lot more fiber in that diet. remember that fiber helps to increase insulin sensitivity and that controlling insulin is the key to fat loss...

Beagle = Bagel
lol saw that myself after I posted, didn't care to change it i guess.

I can do the MRP 9:30am no problem. Thanks for catching that. I don't care for MRP Bars that much either. They just don't taste to good to me to eat everyday. I planed on swapping Whole food for it often. Cottage cheese sounds good. I will take your advice on the last meal.
Thanks

Power lifting is out of the question for me. Football injuries are a major burden in the gym now. My biggest challenge now is to work with my injuries with new technique and to get results. BB contests might be in my future. I'll have to think about that.

OK, what kind of beans do you suggest?


Thanks for the replys.
