The reason I asked is because I've heard that the guys on the front of mags cut down to like 3.5% but they can't stay there for more than a few days because it makes you feel like ****.
How do you maintain that low-level of bf pbn? Mine used to stay a lot lower, but that's when I weighed 155 and danced my ass off all weekend

it hard to say since i devised a diet restucturing plan that takes different calorie expenditures into account, as well as macronutrient counting(which can be a pain until you research you food base for each, takes all of probably 2 hours), and metabolic rates. it's a system i came up with that i use on myself and my clients.works very well for bodyfat reduction w/o lean muscle wasting. it's personalized ot me.everyone will be different, but i choose about 12 core foods per marconutrient and stick with those until i get bored, then i give myself variety by going back and omitted foods i'm tired ofand keeping ones i enjoy. no cardio needed so i like the system.
you knwo for the most part what food are solid choices and what aren't. you just have to figure out expenditure totals, lean weight, and such.
to post my exact diet wouldn't really work as my marco totals are gonna be different than everyone else's and my caloric expenditures are gonan be different so it's not IMO a good idea for peopel to follow other people's diets. i'm sure Swole will tell you the same thing as i'm sure none of his clients follow the same programs and procedures

if you are an NSCA member
i think it's $58 bucks. if not i think it is still cheaper on their site than on amazon or any place else, but look around. i got it from NSCA. one of my favorite sources for books on what we do is www.humankinetics.com or www.lww.com great post graduate texts on there. i think you will find a wealth of knowledge from these sources
