Maintain Weight, Lose Fat: A Football Player's Guide to a Leaner Physique


Question
I'm a 6,5 feet 270 pound football player. I want to stay the weight that I am but I want to lose body fat, And I want to become more cut. Is there a diet or a plan I can follow that will help me acomplish this goal?

Answer
Jay,
Generally, weight lifting is going to help you a lot more than any specific diet plan. However, make sure that you get your full daily allowance of protein every day-as a person who exercises heavily, you should be eating between 112 and 135 grams of protein every day.
My other suggestion is to get a body fat scale. These scales are usually $50-$100, and use a mild electrical current to measure your body fat. You can use it to monitor your progress.
Good luck!
