I have been working a guy at my gym with my diet. He competes in NPC shows, but I dont think he has ever placed in any, he has won a local show where he took the overall. I am dieting for a show in December and I am getting worried because I lost a bunch of weight during the first month of my diet but I've been holding right at 200 pounds for the last month and a half. My friend says I am right on track and doing fine but I am planning on coming into my show around 187 and I dont know if I am not losing it fast enough. I am 28 6'0 and 200lbs I started at 242 in the end of May. He has me eating 200g of carbs, 15-20g of fat, 230-250g of protein a day. He had me do one carb load day last week where I ate 450g of carbs, 30-35g of fat, and 160-170g protein. I've been talking to some other people and they think I need to cycle my carbs more. I was just looking for some feed back on what you guys thought just because I have pretty much everyone in my family going to see my show which will be my first and i dont want to look like crap.

You need more fat. Many of your systems are fat dependent and starving your body of that fat is definitely not practical.

What was the reason he gave for such a low amount of fat? You definately need fat to build. But some guys are different. I'm extremely carb sensitive for example. I can build better w a lot of carbs but it's also chub and muscle. No problem adding strength and mass low carb.

Thats just my two cents. But Im a newb to cycling, and can't speak to the best macros while on cycle. So keep that in mind with my recommendation above.

He said because of my body type and how I am built I get the majority of my fuel from carbs and that my body type stores fats very easy which is why he wants me to have low fat and higher carbs. I had a conversation with the owner of my gym who just got his pro card in the Wbff he told me the same thing that I needed more fats. He told me he was eating 3 steak burritos a day up until he was 3 weeks out from his comp. I was talkin to my trainer about that and his response was that we had told different types of body's. I think the owner of my gym must be doing something right I mean he did jus get his pro card.

6'0" and you want to be 187? God man that seems light to me. How did you set that as your target weight if you don't mind my asking?

That is jus the weight I am shooting for the contest I don't plan on walking around at that. I got that number from the guy who I am working with, that is jus where he thinks I should be after measuring me with the pinchers. He said that would put me around 3%. My concern right now is not coming in lean enough I am about 7 weeks out. I do cardio twice a day for 45 min each time and lift once a day. I take Sunday's off and jus do cardio on that day. What do you guys think my fat should be at??

I'm not a BB competitor, so I don't want to steer you wrong man. 187 and 3% just both strike me as ridiculously low numbers. I think more experienced guys will chime in on this and I am anxious to hear what they say.

Have you ever measured your wrist circumference? That will give us a better idea of what type of frame you are working with.

Also, have you ever dieted before? Whether to build or to cut?
