So it's been a little over a year now since I got serious about bodybuilding in general. My body fast has to be near 13-15 percent but can't find someone to accurately take it in the are I'm in. I'd like to compete within the next few years (don't have any aspirations of being Mr.Olympia) because people basically scoffed at me and ridiculed me when I suggested it.
Anyway, my diet has been lacking and I'm wondering if I can get some feedback and direction from the board. I currently am getting a little over 200 grams of protein which I thought was good given I'm 200 lbs at 5'9". I do have trouble with carbohydrates though as I try to keep them low but have heard varying opinions about them. I know that my fat intake has to be close to 100g daily also.
My main sources of protein are:
True Nutrition protein powders
Ground Meat (80/20)
Red Meat (Shoulder steaks and such)
Egg Whites and whole eggs
Tuna Fish
I know I need to become diverse in my protein intake and I'm testing the waters with that. I was just wondering what would be suggested since I want to get down to about 190 lbs. I know this can't be accomplished tomorrow but will take months and years, I just want to better prep myself to be successful and not fail.
