Loss fat or continue to bulk? - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

pras1011 · 20-04-2008, 04:22 PM

I am 28, 5'8" and weigh 70kg.
I started to properly eat 6 meals a day on the 14th April and I was 17% body fat. But today I weigh 71kg with 20.5% body fat.

Shall I keep going or stop and try and loose body fat?

Post up a picture your body fat reading is probably wrong because you would be in god awfull shape if thats true.

Here are the pictures. Tell me if I need to take more pictures.

If you continue to 'bulk' but eat clean foods and add in some cardio at the rights time you'll loose fat and build muscle for a while... (wat happened for me)

I would eat 250 protein 250 carbs 60 grams of good fat divided into 6 meals only from good food and do cardio every day, weight train following a correct program 4 days per week focusing on increasing your working poundages.

You have put on 3% of body fat, what exactly is your diet ?

pras1011 · 20-04-2008, 05:29 PM

7am 100g porridge, banana multivitamin tablet and 33g of whey protein

10am 2 whole grain bagels with 2 chicken slices, hummus and lettuce and a orange

1pm 300 grams of pasta and 2 x chicken thighs

in between nuts and flax oil

4pm 100g porridge and a banana

6pm workout

7pm chicken breasts (or thighs) with 250g brown rice. 33g whey protein

11pm go to sleep 33g whey protein

I am going to do no workouts next week to fully recover.

Should I keep doing the bulking diet for next week?

Should I do 3 x 1 hour low intensity walking to reduce the fat?

If you're eating six meals a day, you could be eating the wrong food! That would explain why you're adding more fat despite the workouts. It happened to me (long before I went to personal trainer school). Post a list of what you're eating here, and I'll go over it for you. And I'll try to help.

How do you measure your bodyfat ?

Using calipers or the scales ?

Revise your diet, so that it contains the nutrients listed in the post above. You are eating too much carb laden food throughout your day, that's why youre not looking as lean as you could.

Hit the weights heavy, bit of cardio for your conscience and bingo - it all comes into place.

Listen to me and Con, we're experts at this game.

Thanks all.

I have had a big belly since 2004. And its worrying me and its unsightly especially when I wear a t shirt.

Should I aim to get rid of the body fat before I start bulking again?

pras1011 · 21-04-2008, 12:52 PM

Thanks all. I will definately be changing the diet to what you guys have suggested.

The thing is, I have had a big belly since 2004 (I think). This worries me as to the amount of fat I have. And it looks like I am pregnant when I wear a t shirt.

When I was doing low intensity cardio 3 times a week my belly was slowly going down.

Should I aim to get rid of the body fat or should I countine bulking again?
