Dude, you should be taking in SLIGHTY less calories than you burn on a daily basis (100-500 below maintanance). Also you should reduce your carb intake and make sure all carbs that remain in your diet are of the healthy variety. In addition, limit your carbs at nightime. Continue this in conjunction with your weight training and cardio.
If you find that your body needs that extra push to drop sub 10%, you can employ a carb cycling technique - i've been cycling carbs for about a month and i've dropped from 10.5 to 9.0%bf.
Good Luck, Jim

nutrition is the msot important factor for gaining/losing weight, you need to eat the proper amount of calories with a nice carb protein fat ratio, 4-6 meals a day, and you will be well off... also working out plays a big part too ofcourseOriginally Posted by Rx4aPimp
