Right now I am 6' 176lbs and I am guessing I am about 8-9%. I really have some stubborn fat on my abs that I am trying to shed for the warm weather season. Once its over I plan to start bulking as cleanly as I can. Hopefully I can get back up to around 190lbs clean and not put much fat on.

Here are two pictures I have and Ill work on more...

Questions/comments/suggestions:

- How are you making your protein shakes? Whey/casein/egg white? In water? Any added carbs/fats?
- Why don't you move the apple to your pre-workout meal instead of post workout?
- What is 'low carb peanut butter'? lol
- Where is your source of vitamins and fibre?? You really should add some fibrous veggies to your diet.

low carb peanut butter

I don't see any reason you do not eat regular PB, unless you just prefer the taste. The differences are not that significant in this particular case.

People will suggest all natty PB too but IMHO you will be fine with regular creamy skippy

Check the website to compare labels for their different brands

6:00 am: 4 egg whites + 2 packets of cheese grits + 1 cup of milk -->For fiber, can you switch out the grits for oatmeal??
7:00 am: Workout - Chest
8:20 am: Post workout shake + apple
10:20 am: Protein shake
12:30 pm: 1 can of tuna + 1 cup of whole wheat pasta --> switch pasta for a sweet potato or add some veggies
2:30 pm: Protein shake
4:30 pm: 1 chicken breast --> can you add a green salad with veggies here?? Olive oil + vinegar as dressing?
9:00 pm- three tablespoons of low carb peanut butter --> you could use peanuts or whole almonds here for a change. As Bunny said, check the labels between the types of PB -- regular, ANPB, etc

The apple is for the carbs I need post workouut since my protein shake only has 3. Low carb peanut butter is exactly what it is...low carb...3 grams of carbs. Vitamins come from the total, all I need. The protein is in water.

Check the label -- how much sugar is in it?? Hydrogenated oils at all?? How about ingredients?? Ideally it should have listed: Peanuts, salt....

Anything that says "low carb" annoys me
