Taking out steak for chicken is assanine. Ever seen a buff chicken?
Besides, if you are attempting to lean out, you should be on low carbs anyhow if you are interested in keeping lean mass, and you NEED the fats from red meat along w/healthy fat intake to balance it all out.
Fat is not the enemy in trying to lose fat, in fact, quite the opposite!!!! It's your friend! No fat lost from the body w/out adequate fat coming in!
Running for cardio is perhaps the worst you can do for fat loss. You take an aerobic activity and make it anaerobic, thus burning muscle glycogen/protein/lean mass, and leave your fat stores untouched. Not to mention all the lower back/knee problems you could incur later on down the road. 3 sessions of cardio per week (don't even know what time of day, that's a huge key) is not even half of what you should be doing.
