I am a diet idiot....I dont know what im doig...Ive been cutting as many carbs as i can each day and trying to eat clean but nothings coming off...Im 12%bf when I eat EVERYTHING. So i figured eating less carbs and fattening stuff would help me lean out.. Well it hasent, I need to lose the weight for football, and would like to play around 240. I dont have any idea how many calories a day ineed or how many i get now,,,any help is apppreciated!

I train 5 times a week in a power lifting / cardio fashion

Keep in mind that this is for football and not body building..again all help is greatly apprecated!!!!

You're gonna have to do some work yourself before anyone can actually help you. There's a couple of things I'm not sure about...you said you weight 250 right now, but want to weigh 240. That's not much of a change unless you're planning on dropping your bodyfat to a lower amount.

Start with this. Keep track of everything you eat for a week and let us know what the total calories, protein, carbs, and fat are. This will give us an idea of your daily caloric maintenance need to maintain your body weight.

Are you just lifting weights without direct cardio (i.e. treadmill)?

Let us know.

Thnks for the reply bro...I guess my problem is that i have no diet regimen or anything..my meals vary from day to day....Ill try and get something down and get back to yall.....The main thing im looking for is a estimate of calories /pro/fat/carbs i should be getting.............the cardio is a cone drills and sprints

I say do your cone drills and sprints first thing in the morning. If you truly want to drop body fat, you will have no problem getting up a little earlier to get this done. That is only part of what you need, but it's a big part.

For diet you need to make a plan. What I mean here is PRE-plan. Write everything down IN ADVANCE that way you already know what you are going to eat and when. Trust me on this, I had the same problem. I thought I could just plan as I go and write things down after the fact. Will that was a mistake.

Raise your protein and drop your carbs. Make sure the fat intake is QUALITY fat (fish oil, flaxseed oil, virgin olive oil). Cut out dairy and bread products. I know these are basic suggestions here but I think we forget or overlook them sometimes. Cut out white rice, potatoes, and pasta. Cut out sodas and simple sugars.

example day:
(after morning cardio)

8-10 egg whites and one yoke
1/2 cup slowcook oatmeal
water


protein shake (at least 40-50 grams)
trueprotein would be a good choice (teamskip blend)

chicken breast
broccoli
water

protein shake (at least 40-50 grams)
trueprotein would be a good choice (teamskip blend)

tuna
low fat cottage cheese
water


protein shake (at least 40-50 grams)
trueprotein would be a good choice (teamskip blend)


chicken breast
salad with virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar
sugar free jello (just to curb the sweet tooth)
water


I put several protein shakes in there because you are apparently in school and they are easy to take with you. Protein bars would work as well.


post everything you have eaten for the last 5 days (if you can remember)
