Hey Group:

Been working out for a while and I struggle a little with helping my body get lean. Can someone explain in basic terms how I should alter my diet to keep up with my work out routine and cut some fat.

Thanks in advance!

Lower your calories to maintainence about 2500/day then throw light cardio into your training and train hard to lose the extra fat, im not an expert because im still on my first bulk but i think thats the jist of it hopefully somone can help you alot more!

At 5'9" and 154lb you have no reason to be trying to cut fat. You should be trying to add muscle.

That said Cutting is eating 500cal or so less then your maintain weight that will case you to loose as little muscle as possible while loosing fat.

If you really need to loose weight and still gain muscle I think the only way to do that is by "Carb Cycling".
