I am looking to do my first bikini competition in 17 weeks. I started training and the diet 3 weeks ago. I am currently 5'5" and 132 lbs. Uncertain of my exact body fat but I know it is in the low 20s. I know that I have a lot of body fat to lose still and I need to get lean. I lift 5 times a week for an hour and do cardio 5 times a week for an hour. My diet has been 30 g of oatmeal for breakfast, 140 g of protein per day, and 2 servings of fats (natural nut butters or almonds), and 2 cups of vegetables a day. I've been having one cheat meal a week and been taking supplements.
I've seen good results so far but I want to make sure what I'm doing is appropriate and will be enough for my body fat to drop significantly...plus I know the diet needs to be continually be altered or my body is going to get used to it...mainly I am wondering how much fat I should be having a day cuz I am trying to lose fat, and when and how much carbs I should start cutting out of my diet...any input would be greatly appreciated from anybody who knows!!! I am trying to do research but I don't have a trainer anymore...thanks...
