Been using Kettle Bells

about 8 months ago i stoped using Free weights and started using Kettle bells and you know what? I love it. I was at a steady 190lbs while lifting heavy weights and eating alot. But since i have decided to Become a Recon Marine (im in the Marine corps by the way) Ive been advised to stop gaining weight and bulking up also i moved in with my girlfriend and we have been living together for almost 8 months now and shes a Vegitarian wich has lowered my Meat consuming, but either way I run faster, have more energy and ive lost 20lbs and i look more cut than before. Im down to 169lbs. i do realize that most men on here are working out to gain weight and muscle mass which used to be my goal but ever sence i started this training i feel much better and i think it looks better in my opinion. My workouts consist of calastenics, Kettle bell training, alot of pull ups, push ups and different types of crunches, running and swimming when i get the chance to do so (i should be swimming more..) but i also need advise in what is the best type of foods that i SHOULD be consuming due to my high cardio explosive type work out? Also what is the best suppliments to take in my case.

This is more of a question for the nutrition section I think. But if I was you I would focus on keeping crabs up and your protein of course. Make sure you body has what it needs to stay strong. Keep eating clean foods. Chicken/Turkey, oats, eggs, veggies, fruits, etc. Assess your level of activity and find your maintenance calories. Then make sure you eat that much. Drink a lot of water too. I'm not an expert though. That's just what I would do.

Good luck,
James

God Bless the Marines

Edit: You can find your Maintenance here. (http://www.freedieting.com/tools/cal...alculator.htm#)
Edit: As far as supps go. Your gonna want a protein powder for sure. Maybe even 2 diff powders (Whey Pre&Post/and Casein for before bed) Creatine won't hurt either.
