I'm 34, 5'11" and around 240 lbs.

I lift 5 days a week with cardio at weekends and twice PWO during the week. Most session are no more than 90mins between 12 - 2pm.

Low natural t as a result of chemo.

Example of a normal days food:

2 x weetabix for breakfast; either fruit/ nuts and a shake mid morning; wholemeal sandwich for lunch; mid afternoon shake; sweet potato, chicken and veg for dinner.

Thanks,

MikeyMooooooooo thanks for posting.

Reducing BF is simply defined as consuming less calories than your body will expend, typically in the timeframe of a single day.

That being said, at your current stats, you would need to determine your lean body mass (LBM). So the question we need to answer first is, what is your LBM or your body fat percentage? You can guess if you would like, and there are threads here that help you evaluate your body fat based on pictures.

From there you would calculate your lean body mass and eat according to that number. If you want to reduce body fat, I suggest eating enough calories to fulfill your lean body mass and stick to a protein/carb diet to help reduce body fat and progress in training.

This is the start. From there we can work on your food choices and diet structure, first, we need a bit more info.
