Help Make My Diet!!!

[IronMind24]

I currently weigh on average 165lbs. I am 5'8, so 165lbs is pretty good for my height. Was thinking of trying the Abs Diet but wanted some input first.
Most of my fat goes to my abs area.
My workouts are usually band resistance, chinups, pullups, dips, pushups, etc..
No weights this period.
I need to really pick good meals for the week. Snacks could be protein bars/almonds/shakes.

So...you are wanting to get skinnier?

 

[IronMind24]

not really, just definitely need to lose a lot of fat... probably maintain mass or gain a bit more while losing the fat!

what is your bf %?

 

[IronMind24]

I have no way of measuring... If i were to guess it would be around 16%...Is there any other way to make a better estimate?

You are going to lose some mass when losing fat, I'm sure there are people that can get away with that, and people on gear. If you are 16% BF at 165

Assuming you keep all the mass you have, and you are really 16% BF. If you lose no mass at all, keep it and just lose fat, you'll weigh 139 pounds at 5'8". You'll lose some mass so for fun lets see 135 pounds. You want to weigh 135 pounds at 5'8"?

No way. I want to get to at least 10%bf at 160-170lbs.

Then read up for a good routine and how to bulk.

 

[IronMind24]

I dont want to bulk, I definitely have too much fat on my abs for that. Any diets that you recommend?

So, you are wanting to go down that weight.

Eat a clean calorie reduced diet and you'll lose weight. Chicken, almonds, no fat cottage cheese, maybe some Whey Protein for PWO. ANPB is good too on some whole wheat bread.
