Any tips or advice, I need to lose fat.
Hey everyone, this is my first post. So I also want to say hello! I'm not exactly new to weightlifting but IMO I feel this is a new start. I have been weight training for 2 years but thats all its been, weight training......no diet change.
I think I actually got a little fatter since I started but thats gonna change. Over the summer I spent a lot of time researching and feel much more comfortable with what I plan to do now. Here's some background: I'm 17 years old I'm 5'11 I dont know my body fat but I think its somewhere in the high 20's to low 30's. I currently weigh 220lbs. Current stats are, BP: 225, SQ:320, DL:385 My schedule looks like this: Get up at 7am and go to school at 8am. School till 3:25 Workout at 4 til 5-5:30 Then I'm at home for the rest of the day and I'm on the computer or doing home work. I attempted to lose weight before and changed my diet, it was cleaner and low carb but when I totalled up the calories I was only eating around 1800 calories a day. This was a CHANGE, I must have only been eating around 1500 calories before. This is when I started to do my research since I just stopped gaining weight and I gains almost no mass, with a bw of 225, I had 14inch arms. Only gains I rly made were in my lifts. Anyway, this is my new plan. I decided to spin this around. My goal is to compete in a bodybuilding show next year (2009) in late November. I want to lose some weight first, then do a clean, year long mass gaining phase, then cut down the last 12 weeks or so. I feel I need to be at around 170lbs to be in competition shape. So for now I want to drop down to 185-190lbs. This is where I need you guys!!!!! I feel wear I'm at, I can lose body fat and gain muscle at the same time. I tried a low carb diet before but I just could not keep it up. I dreaded eating that way. I now plan to pursue a timed carb approach with little to no starchy cards in my diet. What do you guys think? Here is the diet I will follow, please critique it if you can... p-231 c-131 f-95 (2303)Calories Meal 1- 3 eggs (21/0/13) Whey shake (24/3/1) 1 banana (1/30/0) Meal 2- ¼ cup almonds (6/6/14) 1 turkey sandwiches (heat bread, turkey, cheese) (25/30/6) Veggies (1/5/0) PWO- 2 scoop whey (48/6/2) 2 tbsp pb (8/6/16) Banana (1/30/0) Meal 3- 1 can tuna (35/0/2) 2 tbsp EVOO (0/0/20) Lettuce (0/0/0) Meal 4- 2 pieces chicken (44/0/8) Veggies (2/0/0) Snack- Greek yogurt (14/14/0) Veggies/Celery (1/0/0) Fish oil- 13 grams (0/0/13) Supplements: Whey Multi. Fish oil Poliquin's HCL I will be training 4 days a week. I feel part of my fat gains is I'm just not active enough. I will lift heavy twice a week and the other 2 days consist of one metabolic workout and one day of HIIT cardio. Thanks! BTW: I'm sure it'll come up. I know the protein is a little on the low side. Its hard for me to fit a lot in my day, especially with school but once I loose this fat I'll bump it up more closer to 300g's. Its at least slightly over 1g per lb, especially if u count lean body mass and not over all. |
