so in effect you are looking to add LBM and reduce body fat?
a hard act for most
there seems to be a lack of O3 fat in the diet
the 5pm meal lacks protein
you train for 3 hours from 11-2pm?
the pre work out meal seems far to early in relation to training
a few short ones

sorry my bad not 3 hr its 11:00-1:00 including the time of goin to gym and stuff like that..thats like half an hr so i train for about 1 and half hr...the reason for pre workoutmeal and 5 pm meal is that i have skool after workout so hard to eat alot in morning and after skool which is around 5-6

agreed.
definately a lack of efa's in the diet. also PWO shake needs to have atleast 50g of carbs, probably upwards of 70-80. thats one of the most important meals if your on a cutting diet. also the PWO meal should be moved to an hour and a half after the protein/carb drink. cut the bread and just do some tuna and light mayo in meal 8:00- 9:00. also i calculated the calories and estimated for meals 3 and 7 and your sitting at 1490cals. with 40+ minutes of cardio i am a little surprised that you have put on 6pounds.

Don't see how that will be possible bro. If you lose a significant amount of bf, you're gonna lose weight. No way around it. You can't build muscle fast enough to replace it.

I really dont think that is possible unless you are a beginner.
And school isnt an excuse to not eat. Are you in hs or college?Last edited by chest6; 12-07-2005 at 09:14 PM.

if he loses about a pound a month he can pull it off
or he can just bulk up then cut the fat since cutting fat is the easy part

i know skool is no excuse, im in college ...but the thing is i have like long hours at skool(from 9-4) and then from 6-9. so in between i adjust my training and eating schedule. so i shud first bluk up and then try to cut the fat?
Zapp says "If you lose a significant amount of bf, you're gonna lose weight. No way around it. You can't build muscle fast enough to replace it"
what that exactly mean
and can any1 post a formula for MHR for the cardio
or doin cardio 3 times a week 45 min/day is bad or i jus leave it aside?

bring solid food to college and eat betwen lectures/classes. Thats what I do when Im cutting. Make the meals small so it only takes 5 minutes to eat them.

Good advice posted by Copenhagen.
I'm confused why one meal contains 8 grams of protein and another meal contains 60 grams of protein. I'd try spreading your protein out more evenly. Conbining and avoiding certain macros are just as important.
Good Meals:
protein + fat meals
protein + carb meals
Bad Meals:
protein only
fat only
carbs only
fat + carbs (worst case scenario)

To bring your EFA's up add flax seed oil to your diet. IMO that is the best and most effective source of EFA's. That also falls into your other question, EFA's are the good fat that will help you lose the bad fat. Take a few tablespoons of flax seed oil daily.
