What's the best diet to burn fat and avoid losing muscle?
I have always had that doubt. Is it calories (amount) or the type of calories that make you lose weight?
I mean could I burn fat by eating Big Macs and Ice cream while going under the daily calorie requirements (let’s say 1600 calories of junk food when maintenance is 1800 calories?)
You know it’d be simple to just stop eating and burn fat, the bad thing is that muscle goes away which is always something bad.
So that’s why I am asking this. (IS IT LOW CARB?)
How much protein, carbs, and fat are needed in daily diet?
I am a 5’11” male, and weigh at around 190lbs. I have around 20% boy fat, and would like to lose as much of it as possible, while maintaining my muscle and perhaps even gaining some.
I am a beginner, I mean I have been working out for the past 3-4 years, but have been on and off every 2-3 months, so never really had any real gains from it, so consider myself a beginner. My diet was also primarily comprised of junk food, and over the past 6-7 month, I have tried to curb the junk food I take in.
Given the goals I have in mind, and the timeline is not like a month or two, maybe even 4 months is good as long as I see continued benefits.
My current diet profile looks like this: Daily calories – 1800-2000 (counted for variations, and 1 day over feeding will be around 2500); Proteins – 125 grams per day; Carbs – 320 grams/day ; Fat – 30 grams/day.
Supplements: Whey Protein Isolates – 24grams Protein/scoop, 3 times daily with 1% reduced fat chocolate milk; 4 grams Creatine, 4 grams L-Glutamine, around 2 grams BCAA, 1 tablet Multivitamin.
Additional Supplements: Mil fat burners – Prolab Cuts2 – 2-3 times daily (4 tablets), Prolab Metabolic Thyrolean – 2-3 times daily (2 capsules); Night time thermogenesis (by Lean) – 3 capsules daily before bed. I do apply the Ab Solution Plus topical fat loss cream 1-2 times daily.
Workout Schedule:
Mon – Back/Biceps (3 exercises per part, 5sets x 7-8reps), 10 min HIIT, 10 mins Abs
Tues – Chest/Triceps (3-4 exercises per part, 5sets x 7-8reps), 10 min HIIT, 10 mins Abs
Wed – Shoulders/Legs (3-4 exercises per part, 5 sets x 7 reps), no cardio, 10 min Abs
Thur – 25 min HIIT, next level Abs exercises (almost double the intensity and diff exercises), 15 min HIIT
Friday – Full Body (compound exercises), 10 min HIIT, 10 min Abs
Sat- Full Body (compound exercises, different exercises than on Friday), 10 min HIIT, 10 min Abs.
Sun – Off
I don’t lift too much weight (well, I cant over a certain weight for a given exercises), and thought of adding creatine just so I can lift more, so that even when I quit taking creatine, I would still have moved up from what I am doing right now.
Please analyze my schedule and give your comments on it. Does it coincide with my goal? I plan to continue doing the same for about 8-10 weeks, then maybe change some diet/supplements/workout. I don’t want to bulk up (not literally), I wish to gain some muscle, more definition, and lose fat to get to about 13%-15% (from 20%-22% right now).
Would really appreciate any help from all you guys there, who are experienced in bodybuilding. Thanks for taking time to read through the long post.
