Hey everybody!!

name is Matt and I am a 22 year old Division 2 college football player(QB). I am 6'1 190 on an average day. I consider myself to be in fairly good shape, however I know that diet is horrible!! I eat fast food(McDonalds 20 piece nuggets)haha at least 3 times a week. For summer job i work at a factory on a rotating schedule from 7p-7a four days on four days off.I recently decided that I want to get serious about last season as a football player and get into the best shape of life. I lift 3 times a week(MWF) and run 5(M-F) focusing on agility and speed work only on Tuesdays and Thursdays. All of workouts are at 9 a.m. I was wondering if anybody would be able to tell me what and when they would recommend I eat to lose the fat around midsection without losing much weight(Maintain if not improve muscle mass). I can see abs clearly when I flex, but when I'm not i have a bit of a guy I really want to get rid of. work/workout schedule cannot change just so you are aware. current bench is 285, parallel sqauat 405, clean 275. Looking forward to any and all helpful responses!Thank you!!

This would potentially be a way of keeping things simple. I post this and similar versions now and then.

Breakfast

Option 1.

Bowl of Whole-grain Cereal + rasher of grilled Bacon and scrambled Eggs, (Fat trimmed off the Bacon, 2 Egg Whites + Yolk)

Option 2.

Protain shake, small portion of Nuts, (excluding higher carb ones like Cashews, Chestnuts and Grapenuts), + Apple. Give the Apple 10-15 minutes to digest to improve digestion.


Snack

Option 1.

Portion of Turkey + Orange

Option 2.

Small Portion of Peanuts, some Chicken + Raw Carrott.


Lunch

Option 1.

Large Beef Sandwich with trimmings, I.E. Tomato, Lettuce, Cucumber etc.

Option 2.

Bowl of Chicken Soup, + Pot of yoghurt.


Snack

Option 1.

Turkey + Cashews

Option 2.

Ham + 2 large Tomatos


Dinner

Option 1.

Pork with Peas or green Beans + mashed Potato.

Chicken and Mushroom with Rice

Option 3.

100g Halibut + Broccoli

Easy on the bread with both options.

You could add a few things to certain meals, like Sea Salt, Cracked Black Pepper. Parsley, Mustard, Herbs, Garlic.

Thanks I went grocery shopping yesterday and bought a lot of those foods you suggested...what times would you recommend I eat?as I said I work from 7p-7a and workout at 9 on weekdays. I try to get to bed by noon an wake up around 630pm since work is right down the street.

Have the first meal within an hour of waking, then space the others around 2.5-3 hours apart .
