im 32 years old, 5'7", 195lbs and currently at 16% bf....im currently doing 45 min of cardio on an eliptical machine (says 600 cal burned on average and heart rate between 140-160)5 days a week(M thru F) and lifting after cardio on M-W-F. My goal is to get down to 9-12% bf. Weight is not an issue as long as i stay between 175-200lbs. This is an example of a monday workout and eating routine for me...
8:00-8:30am
multivitamin
vitamin c 1000g
hydroxy rip extreme 2 caps
tribulus terrestris extract 1 cap 625mg
i would take in some complex carbs preworkout, you dont have any food and are in an extreme catabolic state.. and do the cardio after resistance training
9:00 am
cardio 45 min(maintain a 140-160 heart rate and machine says 600 cal burned)
what HR are you training at.. here is a thread youll want to read on cardio

chest workout
10:45-11:00am
2 scoops whey protein in water
like jfew said, add in semi simple carb.. not too simple liek 60g of an orange.. as this will replenish liver glycogen and not muscleee.. try a white plain bagel
52g pro/ 4g fat/ 260 cal/ 5g carbs
1:00pm
fruit and nut trail mix 60grams
no need for the fruit here.. causing insulin spikes which were trying to limit use a fibrous carb here with more EFA's if you feel necessary
4g pro/ 10g fat/ 260 cal/ 40g carbs
3:00pm
97% fat free teriyaki beef jerky 6oz
72g pro/ 6g fat/ 480 cal/ 36g carbs
5:00pm
try grilling chicken breasts bro you will take out about all that fat, and eat a fibrous carb liek broccoli here with some almonds or healthy efa
4 chicken hotdogs (plain)
28g pro/ 36g fat/ 520 cal/ 20g carbs
7:00-8:00 pm
stay away from ground turkey unless its 99% lean, try deli sliced even, low fat/low cholestrol/low sodium by hartford reserve
ground turkey 16 oz with cayenne pepper
76g pro/ 52g fat/ 680 cal/ 0 carbs
pro=208
fat=108
cal=2200
carbs=101
And i drink about 1-1.5 gal of water a day
My BMR=66 + (6.23 x 195) + (12.7 x 67) - (6.8 x 32)
= 1932.84 x 1.55= 2995.902
So this would be a basic day for me with sum slight changes. Also on the days i dont lift i still eat about the same. I just recently acquired sum albuterol and would like to ad this to my routine, its in the form of a 4mg pills. any advice is greatly appreciated....eating is the hardest thing i struggle with and would like to balance it out so i can still look good but eat the foods i like.....
THANKS
