| I need help creating a healthy meal plan I can eat to lose about 30 pounds of fat. I lift weights and take whey protein, and I do not want to lose muscle mass on this meal plan. I do at least 35 minutes of cycling on an exercise bike with 10 pound ankle weights everyday. I also do free weights, and bowflex exercises 3 days a week.I calculated my basal metabolic carlorie needs: 3678 calories!I'm a male, 19 years old, 6'1" tall, and 250 pounds.I think if I cut my calorie intake by 20% that won't put my body into starvation mode?so my diet should be 2800 calories??! That seems really high to me, but Idk. |

| Cutting your caloric intake that much would screw you up, like you said. You'll store most of the food as fat because your body's confused and in "starvation mode".So go with six meals a day, eating carbs and fruits in the morning with the protein, then veggies and more protein in the evening.Pretty much as simple as that. |
