Muscle building – diet and nutrition?

[johnbelley]

I’m at the cutting stage, looking to lose bodyfat (not muscle) I’ve upped my cardio, (intensively lol) my diet is

Protein – 50%.

Carbs – 30%

Fats – 20%

On a 2000 calorie diet, am I on the right track here? Lol

I’m 5’11 – 170lbs. any help apreciated lol

There’s no big secret to cutting. All you have to do is burn fat. I don’t know why bodybuilders think they have difference biological requirements than everyone else just because they have more muscle. Can i ask you what’s your body building nature ?

If you were competitive, you’d have better resources for information than strangers. So, don’t mess up your macronutrients by jacking up the protein just to cut fat. Here’s how you should be eating.

I see can you tell me the best diet for lossing fat ?

[noah]

The best diet for losing fat is the same as the best diet for building muscle which is the same as the best diet for maintaining health and body weight

[johnbelley]

I just don’t get it ?

[noah]

In other words, everyone should be eating essentailly the same macronutrients, vitamins, minerals, and fiber barring special health or medical considerations because we all have essentially the same physiognom

If you want to burn body fat, simply decrease portion sizes of your food such that your daily intake is 500 calories less than your daily burn rate.

That should result in a loss rate of one pound per week.

You sound like you are doing a great start. Just don’t forget to strength train 2 days a week. As you lose the body fat you are going to want your muscles shaping your body.
