So, ive been training for almost a year, and lost 30kg... due to being obese last summer 2009. Then after I dropped to 75kg, I decided to add in weight training and since then i've dropped a further 10kg, because of changes to my diet i've kept up for 6 months now. Then my instructor asked what I eat for my 5-6 meals a day, and I told him and he threw an excercise ball at me He said I needed to eat more, to pack on muscle, but the problem is I dont want to be too big, as I am a size M and a 30" waist, gone down from XL and a 40" waist. So my quesiton is, is my current diet okay or is his one better? Because my aim is to achieve 10% body fat and my way was lower carb to protein ratio to burn fat and he's telling me to pack on carbs to gain muscle to increase metabolism (in the long run too), to increase muscle mass to body fat ratio, automatically reducing body fat %.
