For 2013 I decided to dial up my diet efforts to reach that goal of 10% bodyfat by May 26th.
I used the Scoobys Workshop calorie calculator to find my BMR (2017) and my TDEE (3126). The diet has been based on these numbers.
The meal plan consists of six meals per day, consumed every three hours. There are three low carb days and one high carb day. The high carb day is to prevent muscle loss due to the low carb intake. No cheat meals or alocohol allowed. This is a heavy ass diet and I’ll probably only do it for four weeks.
