No need to make it too complicated to start off with.

Just cut your calories to 10-20% below your TDEE and eat what you want.
Once you plateau, you can think about taking on a "specialised" diet if need be.

hmm fair enough, i just meant to lose a bit of weight to look more defined. so i meant less sugars.. more water.. and less at meals and longer waits before i eat again?

etc.

What ? It's the simplest way of putting it.
You need to eat at a caloric Deficit while maintaining a decent level of protein intake not rocket science brah

Yes. Eat what you want.
He has to take in 1-1.5g of protein per lb of lbm and a healthy dose of fat, but other than that, he can eat anything he likes to make up his calorie requirement.

I don't need to read the stickies. Do you?

[bauer0115]

cheers guys, any additional help will be useful

[BloodySalad]

You don't need help. Like the poster up there says - it's not rocket science.
Work out your lbm, eat 1-1.5g of protein per that lbm. Get a good dose of healthy fats into your diet and that's it.
As long as you stay under your calorie limit, you can eat anything you want.

More calories out than in calories in equals fat loss. Simple as that.

Edit. You also might want to add some nice green veggies into your diet. The fibre and the nutrients they contain can never hurt.

Telling him to eat between 1-1.5g of protein per lb of Lbm and a healthy dose of fat is a little different than simply stating "eat what you want"

I didn't realise I had to spell even the obvious out.
I sometimes forget that there are idiots here.
