Whats up guys
So here is my situation. I'm 6'2 231 pounds at 17.2 body fat. Been working out for a couple years now. My journey started at 312 pounds and just decided to change my life around. Joined a gym and started dieting, did lots of cardio while doing your normal high volume lifts. Basically your normal weight loss when you are very overweight. I got down to about 240 and was introduced to power lifting a couple years ago. I stuck to that training style for a few years now and still love it. Recently ( about a month and a half ago ) i started really dialing in with my diet and started doing more cardio through out the week (fasted cardio 35 to 45 min 4 times a week). Now with my training i still do compound lifts (deadlift/squat/bench press) but i do lots of normal bodybuilding type lifts through out the week and have a schedule. Basically 2 push days 2 pull days 2 leg day workouts. I dropped my carbs a good amount keeping my fat moderate and protein high. Once a week ill have "high carb" day and lower my protein intake as well as my fats. Here is an example of what i will be consuming today
Meal 1 6 am
40 grams of quaker oats
1 teaspoon of PB
1 scoop of protein powder (select)
Meal 2 8:30 am
1 cup of egg whites
3 cups of spinach
4 oz of lean ground beef
1 slice of fat free cheese
SNACK 10:30 am
2 Quaker Rice cakes
2 teaspoons of PB
Meal 3 12:30
4 oz 99/1 ground turkey
6oz chicken
3 cups of spinach
Roasted peppers
g Hughes bbq sauce
Snack
2 scoop protein shake (select)
Meal 4
4 oz of chicken
4oz of 99/1 ground turkey
Asparagus
g hughes bbq sauce
Work out
Meal 5
8 oz chicken
Mixed veggies
I drink about a gallon and a half of water a day as well
As i mentioned before i cut my carbs down a good amount and in about a month and a half im down roughly 12 pounds. I am just a little hesitant because i dont want to end up losing muscle mass since i am trying to recomp. Getting down my body fat percentage is my main goal to around 10 percent. I am having a really hard time losing belly fat to be honest. That seems to be the one area were most of my fat is stored (love handles) My high carb days i usually sub out the veggies or spinach with either jasmine rice and bread. Have another serving of oats as well. Just wanted everyones opinions. The meals i listed are what i have calculated for today and what is usually looks like through out the week which is 38 fat/ 130 carbs/ 312 protein..........Just looking for some advice
