hey man, welcome!

first step would be to list out what you're currently eating, and get rid of any junk etc.

but honestly, the best foods for getting lean are the cleanest sources:
- veggies
- chicken
- meat
- fruit

knowing when to eat alot and when to back off is also important, ie zig zagging.. if you have a big basketball/lifting session/jumping session tomorrow, then you'd want to eat alot today.. if the next day doesn't entail too much work, then you can eat very light.. that's pretty much the "zig zag" approach i like doing.

regardless of how you're oscillating your diet, you want a high protein intake. it's the carbs that need to be monitored & adjusted based on activity level.. if your protein intake is low then you'll hold on to too much fat/lose lean mass.

processed sugars are the devil, ie high fructose corn syrup.. so get rid of any soda/junk if you have any in your diet..

so what's your diet like now? and what's your body composition?

peace man

my body comp at the moment
height = 6'1
weight = 175
body type = ecto-meso morph (kinda tall but not lanky)

im not on any sort of diet at the momet,just tends to be what my mum cooks.
but id say it consists of high amount of carbs, and theres quite high amounts of protein. meals usually such as pasta bake or roast potatoes and chicken.
but also i need to cut out the junk i eat imbetween, thats what kills me (gona try and completely cut this out).
ive also been using - reflex instant whey. this is so i can get my constant protein for recovery etc.

the downfall tends to be when im eating this though. (as in days before games etc, as my meals arent planned through out the week. which is something im gona get round to doin asap)
so would i be best carb loading 1-2 days before my games? and then afterwards higher protein intake?

sounds good, first step is eliminating the junk, it's a hard "craving to beat", but once you do, you'll feel alot better and be considerably leaner !

yup, definitely day before.. you want full glycogen reserves come game time. if you have another game the next day (following the game), then you'd need to carb up again, but if not, then ya you could lower carb intake and keep protein intake at a reasonable level.. the point here is you just don't want to be loading up heavy on carbs every day of course, that's where most people fail.. you want to load up on carbs when you need to (ie the next day it is absolutely necessary).. when you don't have much that day or it is just a small power workout etc, carbs can actually be just below moderate level (or moderate) etc.. so that would be say, replacing a huge dish of pasta with a smaller bowl of pasta, keeping protein (chicken) the same or actually adding a bit more.. just an example.

peace man

hey just to clarify one thing, if you're going to get into zigzagging, only start out with at MOST two light days a week.. the other days would be normal.. you'll start to get an idea of how to structure it just based on those two days.. in your own situation though, #1 thing is cutting out the junk.

cya man

frozen veggies are the best thing as far as replacing junk so you can get cut.  they fill you up since they got tons of fiber and they're good for you.  1-2 cup frozen veggies microwaved for 2-3min with a lil salsa or spaghetti sauce for flavor plus a glass of water will kill the "starving" feeling you get that makes you want to grub on junk.  try it out sometime, worked wonders for me.  goodluck!
