Hi everyone. I have switched my goals quite abit recently. I have gone from BB weight training 5 x EW to 3 x Weights and 3 x Boxing (60-90 mins of very very HIIT cardio). I am also going to add in 40 mins SSCV on empty 1st thing

I am wanting to cut at the moment, but I do not want to lose muscle. I am finding it hard to work out what my diet should look like so that I can fuel my boxing sessions and not lose muscle, but then also not eat too much so that I odnt manage to cut

I wish I had stuck to just Bodybuilding as I would know whta to do then lol, but I am never going to compete as a BB'er and I really enjoy the fight training.

My training is:

Mon-Wed-Fri: Boxing
Tues-Thurs-Sat: Weights

How should my diet look (more in terms of where shiould my carbs be etc than food choices) so that I can lose fat and not go (too) catabolic?

Hope all that makes sense, Im very confused as what to do with it all at the mo.

Currently 5"11, 98kg, BF is mid to high teens (probs high teens as everyone underestimates their BF lol)
