Sport How long till I can drop 10-15% body fat??

[mouschi]

Boy oh boy am I a long way off. I am 6'2 229 lbs and floating somewhere between 27-28% bf. I workout a half hour each night (either weight training + situps or elyptical + situps). Here is my diet:

Breakfast 1 (8am) - 30g chocolate whey protien in 6-8 oz of skim milk, redline concentrate, 2 megamen vitamins, toast and a banana. Toast is whole grain with "I can't believe its not butter"

Breakfast 2 (10 or 10:30 am) - leftover mac n cheese (skim milk & fat free butter) or 3 eggs with 1 yolk or toast ... something like that.

Lunch 1 (12 or 12:30) - mac and cheese as above, or chicken (not fried) or fish like catfish or flounder (2 fillets)

Lunch 2 (3pm ish) - slim fast meal on the go bar and maybe fat free yogurt or something with redline concentrate

Dinner 1 (6 or 7) - whatever the wife makes ... either spaghetti or noodle casserole or chicken / veggies - it is different each time, but never really ever fattening.

Dinner 2 (9 or 10 .. post workout) - 30g of chocolate whey protein with 6-8oz of skim milk and maybe a banana.


Question is how long should it take for me to drop 10-15% off my body fat totals?

Is mac and cheese Macaroni and cheese?

Just from looking at your meal plan it sounds like your consuming alot of calories in comparison to your work out. If you want to loose 23-30Ibs of bf, you may want to reduce the refined carbohydrate in your diet. I lost 16Ibs of bf in 6 weeks without training by changing my diet. I was 230Ibs and am 6ft 2 tall, granola for breakfast (no fruit or added sugar...especially bannanas) 50grams slimline milk, a handfull of nuts and dried cranberries at 11am, (sometimes a punet of blueberries instead), lunch a small piece of fish or chicken and 3/4 plate of veg and some goats cheese (cows cheese not good), handful of nuts and dried cranberries at 3.30, fish and 3/4 plate of veg for dinner. I eat olives for a snack later on. This avoids the sugar crashes during the day. Avoiding starchy fruits and bannana, potatoes, rice and bread unless wholegrain and low gi/gl. Cous cous realeaes energy slower and more steadier.

The great thing about the way I eat now is I don't get the dreaded sugar crashes during the day and I have more energy in the evening. It's sounds weird to that your body needs fat to burn fat, the carbohydrate I. Your diet i.e. Bananas could potentially be hampering weight loss.

If you don't believe me check out patrick holford and the GL diet.
