Rugby Diet, HELP!

[TxRugby_8]

Age: 21
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 258lbs
BF%: around 17

Offseason for rugby just started and we're already starting get ready for next season. My coach said that I need to lose 15lbs by August if i want any consideration for overseas play. The only problem is, my training schedule is so hectic, so i can't really go on a keto type diet, since all the energy i can get. Can anybody recommend a good diet for my situation? thanks

my schedule:

S: off
M: strength training/plyometrics
T: practice/ track work
W: strength training/ plyometrics
TR: practice/ position specific
F: strength training
SA: slow distance

cheers

where are you going to play? I played for RC Zurich for a year after my senior year of High School...It was a blast

anyways, i had the same problem. In highschool i wanted to get huge for rugby... I bulked my ass of and got up to 5"10 230lbs, but i increased bodyfat from 10% to 18%... Anyways i had to get in shape from march to the end of may before i went to Switzerland.

This is what i did:

morning cardio w/ eca stack 30 minutes

breakfast: oatmeal 2 packets regular, and 2 eas carb control shakes. total of 40g carbs, 30g protein.. I ate these carbs since i workout in the morning and needed it afterwards

2 hours later snack: unsalted peanuts, beef jerky and apple. About 30 carbs, 30g protein, 20g fat

lunch: tuna bag w/ non fat cheese... 60g protein, 0 cabs, 3 fat

snack: eas low carb shake with water 40g prot, 3 carbs, 0 fat

dinner: 8oz fish, chicken or lean beef cooked in flax oil w/ spinach, broccoli, or asparagus. 60g prot, 10 carbs, 14g fat

before bed: low carb prot shake 3g carbs, 30 prot, o fat

totals: Cals-2056, Prot-350, carbs-90, fat-37


Anyways dropped the fat like crazy... Dropped back to about 200lbs at 10%bf

The key was the eca, yohimburn combined with am cardio... Btw i was on 500-750mg test, and fina
