I'm a 27 year old male, around 225 pounds, 6'7" tall, BF probably around 20-25%. I'm trying to get my BF down to 10-15%, at which point, I plan to start bulking. So for the time being, I'm trying to burn as much fat as possible without losing any existing muscle. In the past I've done some boxing and a little weight training, but I'm not experienced with body building. I think I've finally figured out what to do for excercise, but I'm still uncertain about my diet. Here is a typical day:
Meal 1:
big bowl of high protein, high fiber cereal (Kashi Go Lean, it's called) with some protein powder sprinkled on top, and soy milk. 1 hard boiled egg. 2 cups of coffee.
Meal 2:
a big protein shake made with whey protein powder (about 35g protein), a banana, a scoop of yogurt, crushed ice, soy milk, and water.
(this is where I do my excercises for the day)
Meal 3:
tuna made with light mayonaise, with a diced apple mixed in it, over lettuce
Meal 4:
meat and a vegetable, and a piece of whole grain bread
for example: chicken breast with broccoli
Meal 5:
cottage cheese with an avacado mixed in
I'm also drinking a lot of water. I drink water with each meal instead of juice or soda or other forms of beverage (except for that coffee in the morning). And I'm taking a daily multi-vitamin.
Once a week or so, I have some beers but I stick to light beer and I try not to overdo it. I used to be a heavy drinker and that's how I put on most of the weight, so this is a big sacrifice, but I'm getting used to it. I also will have maybe one meal a week where I'm not worrying about nutrition, like pizza with a bunch of meat on it or something like that, but nothing too drastic.
