Hey all this is my 1st post. I have been reading the posts on this site for the last few months great info guys!!

I need help in fine tuning my diet to get me around 10% BF. I am 28, 6'1", 205lbs and current Bf is at 20%. I have been hitting the gym for about a year and a half pretty hard. I have reached my size goal and now I wanna get trim.

My current diet consists of:
Breakfast- 5 egg whites fried w/ cooking spray and a cup of oatmeal.
Snack- cottage cheese w/ fruit or yogurt and fruit
Protein shake one scoop before workout and 2 scoops immediately after.
Workout- 1 hour a day 5 days a week.
Lunch- usually a can of tuna or 2-3 chicken breast w/ assorted veggies.
snack- peanuts and dried apricots or fruit
Dinner- Chicken breast or steak with beans and a veggie.
I usually eat around 2800-3200 calories and 250-300gm protein a day.

Right now i do not do any strenuous cardio but i am going to start this week.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

First Time Newb!!!!

Smallguy i read your guide to powerlifting, do you think this will help me get to my goal of 10% BF? I just started doing Silverbacks workout program and on my off days of lifting i am going to hit the cardio and abs hard.

Also on my off days when i am going to do cardio is it good to drink a protein shake before i train cardio or afterwards?

Thanks for tha help!!

I like ot do cardio on an empty stomach so I'd say after wards

either my journal or silverbacks routine will be fine both have worked for many people
