Hey yall, it's my first competition, NPC junior in Kirkland WA, I will be a middlewieght at around 171 lbs I hope.
I am 180 right now at pretty low bodyfat, can see abs and intercoastals but I want to be ripped! Will take E/C/A stack in the morning and a dose of ephedrine in the middle of the day. No illegal drugs this time around.

I was wondering how to restrict carbs: I am under the impression I can eat small portions of complex carbs and fruit for breakfast and after workout.

I have 2 full months, so I don't have to go hardcore on the diet. I have about 8-9% bodyfat now. I love carbs so It might suck?

The basic info for dieting is all over the place, All I want from you guys are some suggestions. I'm not looking for a step by step, just info from experience.

Lend a Bro some info... YO!!

Hi Valdez,
Try to find your base calorie requirement. Here's the formula to do so:

Bodyweight / 2.2 = __(A)___ A=kilograms
(A) x 24hrs = __(B)__ B=RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate)
(B) x .06 = __(C)__ (calories used for digestion)
(B) x one of the following factors:
.30 for weight training or slower metabolisms
.40 for weight training + cardio training or faster metabolisms
.50 for endurance type training
If I use myself as an example here, my formula would look like this:
180 / 2.2 = 81.82 kilograms
81.82 x 24(hrs) = 1,963 (which is my RMR)
1,963 x .06 = 117.82
1,963 x .30 (I do cardio also but I have a slow metabolism) = 588.90
Now let's add them up 1,963+117.82+588.90 = 2,669.72 (round up to 2,700) calories per day.

After you calculate it, decrease your calorie intake by 100 calories until you notice fat loss. I don't recommend going below 2200 calories. Some people do, but I believe it can be unhealthy. If you want to lower your carb intake, you should take in 40% from carbs, 40% protein and 20% fat. I always stay on a balanced diet like 60% carbs; 20-25% protein and 15-20% fat. It all depends what works best for you. I recommend recording your progress on a weight training log. This will help you find out what you did that has helped you cut up and what didn't work. This may help you next time, when you need to cut up for another competition. Good luck. Let us know how you do?
