This is also not a good routine to be loosing body fat and if you are 5'10 at 165 and fat, you definitly need to tweak things naturally for a few years.

Start a diet forum thread for help there and a training thread for help with that.

Make sure you post up all your stats and goals too when you make them.

and your bodyfat percentage.

Goodluck mate

How is this a real bad diet? The guy is just trying to lose some weight. Grant it I don't think he should lose anymore and I actually think he should start building muscle but hey, it's not my physique.

You want to be lean in MMA, I just can't for the life of me burn this extra fat.

Of course, any sport that has weight classes you have to be as competitive as possible in your class. We aren't telling you to gain some body fat, but you aren't going to get very far when you don't have the energy to successfully train for MMA. As for foods I think you are lacking to be successful, a decent carbohydrate source for energy, fats are essential!!! include them to a degree. 1 week to lose that last bit of body fat will not happen, get set up so you can train for your sport, and work towards your goal, and in a year from now be that perfectly lean machine you want to be. If you keep repeating yourself I am going to start thinking you are a troll, do some research, ask questions after you have thought about and studied it first and be very specific.

if you can, try switching up to a morning cardio pre-meal and lift later in the day if you have the time.

530 am Breakfast Eggs/ ham oatmeal fruit nuts water
Basically bacon and eggs. Raw or poached eggs and oats in the right amounts would be a much better choice, could try a blendid shake with oats eggs protein powder

945 am Snack Chicken/fish/tuna boiled egg/apple water
This is decent depending on portions BUT its 4hrs and 15min after last meal

1200 Lunch Chicken/fish/tuna boiled egg/celery water
Probably a good choice

500-600 pm Cardio training

600-700 pm p90x

700pm protein shake
Its now been SEVEN HOURS since a meal, and this is only a PWO

800 pm supper Grilled chicken/veggies water
Good

1000 pm casein shake

Someone please explain how having only 3 decent meals during the day and gaps of 4-7 hours is a GOOD diet?

Meal frequency and number of meals is pretty much irrelevant.... There may actually be more advantages to less frequent meals

Please xplain how you come up with these two theories? That goes against everything ive learnt over the last three years of research, most of that coming from the extremely knowledgable guys on this site and putting all that info together for myself and about 10 people I train I have had extremely effective results in both gaining muscle and or loosing fat. Again please explain...

thought the meals spread out was a great tool for your metabolism, first time iv heard that 3meals might actually be better, i know thing change for your goals but i remember it being good for any goals in the book, unless your goal is to be fat!? i would like to be enlightened right about now... if im wrong

I have recently read studies that show eating multiple meals have a very negligible effect on metabolism.

I still don't believe everything I read, and still do 6 meals a day.
