    Hey bro..


    No offense but if you are 5'11" and 210 lbs I highly doubt your body fat is 12%. Try more like 19-20 at your height because I am around your height and weigh 160 pounds, and I am about 14% body fat.


    What you should do is search through this forum for the misc. cut diets people are doing, that will definitely drop your body fat % and get you ripped.

    Goodluck

    well we just took a skin fold test at the end of 2003 in weight lifting class, and the skin fold test thing, (if its very accurate) said 12% all together..

    lol leanmeout i agree but maybe hes just has insane genetics and its really muscular.. :shurgs: floyd do a search of "Cutting Diet" and you'll get tons of sample diets with critiques.. but the basics are am cardio on empty stomach.. low intensity, fallowed by 6 meal day with weight training a PWO shake with dextrose and protein fallowed with 2 post workout meals one carb/protein and the 2nd with fat/protien prior to sleep.. get your self some Dextrose and protein if you dont have any.. you might want to get you self a r-ala and biotin to take with your post work out shake.. either way set up a diet and we'll tell you how it is.. welcome to the forum bro...

    At that height and weight you would be lookin like Mr. Universe at 12%. I suspect the reading is not correct. The method used is sound, but the person taking the reading was likely pretty inexperienced. At 12% you should begin seeng the clear outline of you abs. At 10% they really break through. At 6% you look like Swole.

    The good thing is that you are thinking about diet at 15. Now is the time to really start forming good habits, because guys who are in good shape when they are young have an opportunityt to keep it throughout thier lives. Its a lot harder if you start when you are 30 so I commend you.

    What sort of stuff do you eat now? What do you really like eating? What do you currently eat that you really think is not good for you? How dedicated will you be to your diet plan once you have one?

    A great start then would be to cut out things like chips and french fries. Also, if you are eating thing like Kelogs cereal in for breakfast try eggs instead. Stay away from candy bars or anything else with added sugar.Also, if you can cut bread, of any type out its really helpful for cutting.

    Another thing that will assit you greatly is if you can maintain a cardio program such as running for 30 to 45 minutes a day I'll bet you will see a lot of progress pretty quickly. Dont be afraid to eat when you aare hungry. Steak and burgers are great, just dont put kethup or steak sauce on it because they have a lot of sugar in them. Ice cream is really bad too because it has sugar. See where I am going with this?

    LOSE MILK IT IS ALL SUGAR CARBS. KEEP THE SHAKE WITH OLIVE OIL
    12:00 lunch- 6oz chicken, turkey breast, or tuna wrap (whole wheat flat bread wraps) with mayo and lettuce.
    Protine bar (i got a recipe from the sub recipe forum)
    COMBINING CARBS AND FATS IN THE SAME MEAL = FAT GAIN EITHER LOSE THE MAYO OR LOSE THE WRAP
    4:00 - 4oz Chicken breast with brown rice. (is there much of a difference of using white rice then brown rice?)
    TAKE THIS MEAL AND EAT IT ONE AFTER AFTER YOUR POST WORKOUT SHAKE
    6:00 - Workout

    (post workout)
    JUST WHEY AND DEXTROSE IS ALL YOU'LL NEED HERE
    8:00 - 6oz steak and some carrots
    LOSE THE CARROTS SUB WITH GREEN VEGGIES AND EAT THIS BEFORE YOU WORKOUT
    Before bed - Tuna with mayo, green peppers, onions (tuna salad)
    THIS IS GOOD THOUGH MOST SAY TAKE A SHAKE WITH FLAX OIL

    i know i need some work with it, but what do you all think?

    what should i add?
    take away?

    help is very needed
    READ RAMBO'S POST ON THE TOP FOR THE UNOFFICIAL CUTTING GUIDE...IT'S THE BEST **** ADVICE TO USE AND IT IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND BOTTOM LINE CUT OUT SUGARS AND STARCHES (MILK AND CARROTS AND WRAP) AND SUB WITH TONS OF GREEN VEGGIES. AND EAT 90-100% OF CARBS IMMEDIATELY AFTER YOU LIFT THEN 1 TO 1.5 HOURS AFTER THE SHAKE.
    thanks

    bigsd pretty much coved it i just have one question by TBL spoon you mean the thing that comes with the protein cause a regular table spoon is no where near what you need..

    8:00 - 6oz steak and some carrots
    LOSE THE CARROTS SUB WITH GREEN VEGGIES AND EAT THIS BEFORE YOU WORKOUT

    i think that is a good PWO meal it incorporates protein and carbs but yeah loose the carrots..

    Before bed - Tuna with mayo, green peppers, onions (tuna salad)

    not bad use regular mayo, naturaly and its good that you eat a solid meal before bed.. seems pretty good might want to get some biotin and r-ala to help shuttle the glucose post work out.. either way well done..

    Being 15 yrs. old, with your metabolism through the roof and high testosterone levels, I think you can get away with a less-strict diet, at least at first, as long as you work out. If your diet is as bad as you say it is now, maybe you should just make small adjustments. Just cut some of the crap out and moderate your caloric intake. You should see results even with that. Then, if you reach a plateau, tweak your diet some more, incorporating some of the things you've read about here. You want to keep a couple tricks up your sleeve, though. If you go from eating like a slob to eating as clean as possible all at once, you'll eventually plateau and have nothing else to do to get your body to respond. Just my opinion.
