I have been lifting weights seriuosly for about 10 years. I weigh about 240lbs and would like to get down to about 210lbs rock solid. I am 5' 10" by the way.
I am pretty muscular, but need to lose weight around the midsection in particular.
Looks like I am getting about 3,000 calories a day.
I have always tried to eat about 6 times a day, but keep it simple. Any recomendation on what I can do to get to my goal?
Oh and how much Protein should I be getting a day? I want to keep my mass/muscle size and just cut down.

Do a google search for a calculator to figure out how many calories you need for your maitenence level, then -500 calories......
Drink at least a gallon of water a day, lift heavy at the gym, and get 1g protein/lb that you weigh

read posts about diet and nutrition. the nutrition forum would be a good place to post your ideas about what you’re going to eat.

if you are very serious I would recommend buying or finding a copy of ”Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle” which has helped a great many people on this forum including myself.
www.burnthefat.comThe range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice THAT we fail to notice there is little we can do to change until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds.
