Hey guys, kind of have a couple questions on dieting, and hope everyone can benefit from these. I am 5'8, 180lb, 19%bf.....ouch. I want to get that down to a lower % before I start bulking again this winter. I am thinking of competing, well it has crossed my mind anyways. I am eating at least 1g per lb bodyweight in protein, carbs at 1g per lb as well, while trying to increase healthy fats. Is this fine? Here are some questions I have for dieting right now to get my bf% down while trying to keep most of the muscle:
- how much cardio should be done each week and for how long? ( without doing too much, and is it ok to do first thing in the morning before eating?)
- if I am doing a normal dieting phase, how low can I get my bf%, before having to do a pre-contest diet to get it lower? ( what are the big differences between dieting and pre-contest?)
If there is anywhere I can find really good advice that would be great. Any recomendations on nutritionsts that really know there stuff??
Thanks
