you should try to get 1 - 1.5 gms of protein per lb. and some say per lb. of lean body mass, as in your weight minus your fat. carbs depend on if your trying to cut or not, since that is the first thing most people cut back on when trying to lose weight since they make you hold water and its usually easier to eliminate them. It all depends on what you want to and how your body reacts to certain things.

Hi I made alot of weight lost since i got back into body building a year ago and now im startin to show cuts on the forearms and bicep area. my question to ya'll is how good is my diet and anything u would tweak it to make it better for me. im at 185(lean mass) i dont wanna loose nor gain weight i just wanna loose the body fat, i dont know my body fat cus i think the machine is inaccurate ( it says 14% sometimes 10% go figure bullshit machines,
usually i attack the hunger in me about 6 to 7 times aday with a gallon of water throughout the day.

in the morning experts and hard core ppl say to work out on an empty stomach, well i prefer not to cus i dont do cardio, I do high intensity training also known as h.i.t. i do this workout 3 times a week for no longer than 30 minutes long but very intense as in no rest and hit everything in a rep range from 8-12 usually with a 20% inroad of my starting level of strength.
pre workout 11am i have advantage car control shake 100 cal 15 protien 4 carbs

post workout i have a myoplex shake with 310 cal 42 protein and 20 carbs

around 130 i usually go to subways and get the adkins wrap dunno the exact nutrition value but im sur its in the 300 cal range with fat free cottage cheese or somethin else

at 330 then i go eat some anpb with a carb control tortila usuall 3 spoonfools

500 ill have a chicken breast and brocolli sometime i add some fat free toppings like cheese, sauces

700then ill have steak and some anpb again < i know weird cravings aint it> and a lil piece of sweet potatoe if i got the time.

for a nighttime snack ill have myoplex with the values of 100 cal 15 protien 4 carbs

i do mix shit up this is not what i eat all the time, i dont really calculate cus it seems so diff... but ill eat like natural other foods like eggs and brown rice or walnuts and fruit on occasion

Diet seems ok, What supplements are u taking?, might wanna take something that will help keep muscle mass while your sheding fat....maybe a glutimine, maybe up your protein a bit, just my 02

You say you don't want to lose weight - just bodyfat? I understand what you mean, but it's not an entirely realistic expectation to retain all of your muscle mass and still drop bodyfat. You're better off reducing calories gradually until you notice an overall weight loss from week to week (some of it will be muscle mass, there's no natural way to avoid this). If you exercise and eat cleanly without starving yourself, you'll be happy with the results.

I would suggest a return to basics in terms of your diet. Ditch the myoplex pre-workout and get some good clean carbs in there (e.g., oatmeal, sweet potatoe, etc.,) with a protein source. Post-workout, get some whey and dextrose (maybe 30g protein, and 70-80g dextrose) as the myoplex likely has casein. Your other food choices look decent. Stick with it.

First off, its good that you dont invest in the so called "experts" advice about not eating before working out. THat does not, nor will it ever, despite the extensive research and studies that these "experts" claim to have read, make any sense to me. You need energy to fuel your workout. I would also say that although you're doing HIT you would still benefit from doing light cardio in am on empty stomach, on the days you dont train. That and id say your diet does need to be tweaked a bit. IM counting 6 meals.
1.Pre-workout shake
2.PWO
3.Subway
4.ANPB and tortilla
5.Chicken+broccali
6.Steak ANPB

You say you dont count macros. Well if you did you will find that you DONT have a sufficient amount of PROTEIN, nor CARBS, nor FATS. Your probably doing good to get 150g of protein. NOT ENOUGH. Your carbs are also low in some meals. MEAL 1, instead of shake, you get a whole food source,such as, 8-10 egg whites, 1/2 c oats, orange.
MEAL 2-- PWO, you still need a 2:1 ratio of carbs/protein. 80g of dextrose/ 40g whey. MEAL 3-- I hope the wrap is full of protein (MEATS). MEAL 4-- although anpb has protein, it is utilized as a fat, so go with chicken or tuna + anpb. MEAL 5- Chicken and broccali+ flax of fish oil. MEAL 6-- GOOD last meal, dont eat any type of carbs prior to bed. I'm a firm believer of not mixing fats and carbs while cutting, and i limit it to just breakfast,i.e. egg yolks, when bulking. Try to just have 3 pro/carb meals, preferably first three of the day, and last 3 have pro/fat meals. Im also a believer in the more GOOD fats,i.e. fish oil, flax, omegas, you eat, the more fat you'll loose. If your not doing cardio, your diet will be the MOST IMPORTANT aspect in lowering your bf. And also you will definitely see a change in bodyweight, so dont get too hung up on that, as muscle weighs more than fat. GOOD LUCK!!!
