What Should My Diet Be Like If My Goal Is More Lean With Muscle?
What should my diet be like if my goal is more lean with muscle? More cut and ripped than beefy bodybuilder? Think swimmer build.
Seen results, but really need to get handle on complete diet. Is there any website, book, etc that could end my misery?
I’ve figured out my RMR and tried divided that by 6 meals, trying to keep a good ratio of protein carbs and fat, but it can be so daunting plus not even sure that is necessary to that degree with my goal. So, hit me up with some book, website reccomendations or your own spiel about how to handle the diet side.
Ok, go!

Sounds like you got the most important part of it already, thats the six meals a day just make sure that you’re eating your big meal in the middle of the day and not to late that way you can burn it off throughout the day. I am actually working for the same thing right now and I run a couple of miles and do a high rep workout routine in the gym. You NEED to do sprint work to get a ripped body fairly quickly. Think about professional runners, distance runners are just slim with no muscle build and sprinters are ripped and dont have to much bulk.

Great for losing weight or just getting more defination and having a lot of information about what different substances do to your body, read YOU: On a diet. Its a very resourceful book as to explaining how your body digest foods, and what ingredents causes different reactions within the body. Such as how some ingredents and substances create a layer of fat underneath the abdomin. The other then that, health magazines and things can help you as well.

Most of the swimmers I know go for a high protein, low fat, low carb diet to get the leaner, sleeker muscle.

Alrighty, I’m a swimmer so I guess I can understand the body your going for. Just to tell you bodybuilders are some of the most cut people you will ever see. Are you trying to build muscle or are you trying to lose weight? You really can’t do both things at the same time. I will tell you if you going to try and only put on clean muscle and avoid putting on any fat its going to be a very slow process. There’s no real way to do it other than just eat a lot of healthy foods if your looking for clean weight. Meaning whole grain products, fruits, vegetables, lean protein like chicken, fish, and turkey. Just eat large portions of them. There’s no real advise I can give you unless you tell me if your trying to bulk or cut.
