Hi there i started a thread over in the anabolics section and was told to move it over here as i'd get more help,
i've visited a nutritionist and this is the diet she worked out for me i'd already gotten into the habit of weighing everything and she told me to stop as i making eating a militerized thing.
basically my goals are to get down to about 10 - 13 % BF while saving as much muscle as possible, i've got about six months before i immigrate to the US from the UK so i'l like to get down to my goal before then so i can maybe do a clean bulk and bring up some lagging bodyparts, 18%'s a bit to high for my liking.
this is a sample of what i ate today
Meal 1 - 45g Oats
100ml Soy Milk
Meal 2 - ( Pre-workout )
65g Wholewheat Pasta
Meal 3 - ( Post workout )
Whey protein shake
200 Ml Soy milk
1 Banana
Meal 4 - Wholewheat Pasta or Oats or Brown Rice
Eggs or meat or poultry
Meal 5 - ( Snack )
Oatcakes
Meal 6 - Veggies
Meat
it all work out to about 2300 to 2500 cal a day dependant on what meat or protein i choose, she told me that previously i was eating too much protein and that i only 20% of my diet to be protein as that is all the human body can handle the rest it just pisses out, and this is why i was retaining weight because i had this ectra protein being stored as fat, anyway so i cut down the protein which i was a bit sceptical about but i did what i was told, then my next concern was pre and post workout nutrition , i always thought you needed a fast digesting protein before and after a workout aswell as a low glycemic carb before for sustained energy release and a high glycemic carb afterwards to replace glycogen.
anyway since i've been doing what she says ( 6 weeks ) i've dropped maybe 1% BF if i'm lucky which is fine but i've also dropped a bit of lean muscle off to and i mean to be dropping off weight this slowly and still losing muscle isn't really inspiring.
anyway i was just wondering if you could comment on the diet she'd layed out and maybe tell me where i'm going wrong
oh yeah stats are
20 y/o
220 lbs
18% bf
6'3"
