I am eighteen years old. I play college quarterback and I have always been not necessarily fat but "big" especially for a quarterback. I have lost about 15 pounds in the last few months, but I still have another 15 or so to lose. I am currently 6'0'' 215 lbs. I would not mind staying at 215 in terms of weight but I am probably somewhere between 15%-20% body fat and would like to get that down to about 10%. I follow a very intense weight lifting program that is made by our team's strength coach. We do cardio 3 times a week as well.
I feel like I eat pretty well. I wake up every morning for breakfast. A normal day is like this:
1. Breakfast 9:30am : 3 eggs, 2 egg whites, small bowl of fruit.
2. Between 12-12:30pm: 8 oz. chicken breast, and salad with some sort of meat or a turkey sandwich with cheese and whole wheat bread.
3. Snack on various things: Special K, fruit, turkey, cheese stick, etc. Until about 6:30
4. Dinner 6:30pm: 5-8oz of chicken, turkey or pork. Salad or sandwich, sometimes pasta.
I know it is best to eat small meals ever 2-3 hours. It is hard to have a full meal, but I do always try to snack every 2-3 hours to keep my metabolism going.
I also took 3 cycles (three weeks each) of Animal Cuts which seemed to work quite well. I am going to start another cycle soon. I take NO Xplode or Super Pump before I lift and I have 2 scoops of Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey protein immediately after I lift. In the evening I have two scoops of Scivation Xtend for recovery. I also take fish oil and Animal Pak throughout the day.
I usually drink close to my body weight in ounces of water per day.
I feel like I am pretty well educated on what is best to slim down a bit more, I just haven't been able to do it. I was wondering if I should maybe add more of a muscle builder like Kre-Alkalyn.
If there is any advice you can give me that would help greatly! I am a freshman this year and I am slated to be the starting QB at my school next year and want to be in the best shape possible!
Thanks!

this is a myth
number of meals has no effect
TEF is determined by
your total intake not frequency
Dont do pasta if you tend to eat a lot of it wen you do
diet looks pretty healthy, maybe you are snacking a lot or underestimating portions
add some healthy fat (Peanut butter or nuts)
try to get some protein in your snacks (cottage cheese)Founder of MMDELAD
