First of all, since you’re dieting, I would drop weight training down to about 3x per week. You will not need any more than this to maintain what you’ve built. Make sure you keep your strength up and that you rest.

You also needn’t do so much HIIT. There isn’t going to be a drastic difference in kcals burned, so 3 days of weights and 2-3 days of steady state cardio would do the trick. Plus, with steady state cardio, you won’t cut into your recovery as much as you will with HIIT.

as far as protein goes, yes, you definitely need more protein. let’s just assume that the 12% figure is correct. at 180lbs that means you have ~159lbs lean body mass. I’d really like to see you consuming 1.5x that for protein intake. therefore, I’d say you need to eat around 240g protein daily to be on the safe side. I’m afraid you’d see muscle loss on 150g day.

plus, protein powder is fairly cheap. I buy all my stuff from http://www.TrueProtein.com.

JC – Great book really puts things into perspective. I really enjoyed your outlook on nutrtion and training as well as your writing style.

I did have a question though. I currently just got home (Seattle) from vacation in Spain and a two week long booze and food binge.

I weigh about 180 and am at roughly 12% body fat and 6 feet tall. I would like to get much more lean and assume I may need to get down to about 165 and roughly 8% body fat if I want to have the physique I’m after.

I plan on eating about 10,000 calories a week and only averaging 150 grams of protein per day. I lift hard and heavy with pretty short rest periods (30 seconds to a minute) for 45 mins to an hour 4 to 5 days per week and throw in two 45 min cardio sessions per week (HIIT and Steady State). I believe my training is good enough. What I am wondering is if I need to up my protein intake (which would up my caloric intake since I’m already restricting carbs and fat to about as low as they can go and still live a semi-normal life). Would you reccomend this? I do not want to lose muscle but don’t know if 150 g protein is enough per day for my weight and current fat loss regimen. Will my training allow for me to sustain my muscle mass?

Any insight would be appreciated. I have a wedding in August and a honeymoon as well as a photo shoot in May and June (That’s way I want to get as ripped as I realistically can while still maintaining normallcy in my life). Please let me know your thoughts and thanks for the e-book, your time and effort. I apoligize for the essay….
