Goal
To minimize body fat while maintaining muscle mass (it is best to lose body fat slowly). Try to lose no more than one pound of body fat per 100 pounds of body weight each week.


Protein Intake
Eat approximately 1.25-1.5 grams per pound of body weight each day. At least 1 gram per pound should come from complete protein sources such as white meat, chicken, turkey, fish and egg whites.


Dietary Fats
Dietary fats should make up no more than 5% of your total caloric intake. Take 1 tsp. to 1 tbsp. of unsaturated oil daily for essential fatty acids.

 
Strarchy Carbohydrates
Include one or two sources each meal: brown rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, oatmeal, black-eyed peas, corn, green peas and lima beans. Avoid any processed carbohydrates, including breads and pastas.

 
Fibrous Carbohydrates
Include one or two sources with each meal: asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, squash and salad vegetables.


Foods to Avoid
You should not consume dairy products, red meat, fruit, fruit juices, all processed food including canned goods and artificial sweetners. Also, keep pasta and bread consumption to a minimum, if you eat them all.


Meals
Eat five or six meals per day spaced 2 or 3 hours apart. Each meal should be caloric dense and consist of one protein, one or two starchy carbohydrates, one or two fibrous carbohydrates and supplements.
