WELCOME!
14% at what weight? specifics help. Plus in what kind of timeframe?
Fasted cardio will help shed BF real fast if you can do it consistently.

first of all, it doesn't look like you are eating enough. i think i only added about 1600-1700 cals. you need to be doing cardio if you really want to get the BF down and fasted cardio is even better. i would drop the milk out of the first meal, definitely drop the dextrose in postworkout and put in some complex carbs, and my other suggestion is to get some carbs in before your workout. your food choices are great, just get your macros right. you may want to do a 40% protein/40% carbs/20% fats or up the protein some and drop some carbs. others should help more, here is my 2 cents

ah yes fasted cardio. lmao i dread those two words... but yes i remember couple years ago when i was in decent shape, fasted cardio did wonders.... so im going to get serious about it then!
and as for the diet, i got it off of one of the members in the 'members pictures' thread. his ratio of macros were closer to what i have on my diet. i would like to get to 14% body fat but am not sure what a realistic/ healthy time frame and weight would be... from experience im an extreme endomorph and have already gained a little muscle weight since i started working out 2 weeks ago (with my diet) lol - but i know its just that muscle that i lost from a year of no physical activity :S.
basically im a size 34 right now and used to be a 31... i would like to get back to that and eventually get my abs to show... if the 40/40/20 ratio is better i dont mind changing up the diet. also was wondering about the complex carbs... i've always heard that u need simple carbs after a workout to spike insulin for ur body to go into 'sponge mode' and absorb everything in the blood.... thx for ur help every1
