What I do, most of the time, to get very lean.

Fat Loss is not complicated
 

When I’m dieting to get lean, my goal is to keep it as simple as possible. Being in a caloric deficit for weeks or months at a time is stressful enough, I don’t need to be concerned about coming up with different meals that fit my “macros” perfectly all the time.

Once you’ve accurately calculated how many calories you need to drop fat at an acceptable rate (for you), you should design a basic meal plan that fits that profile, eating basically the same thing every day.

This is the easiest and most accurate way to make sure your fat loss goal is a success in my opinion. This is how I have always done it, and will continue to do so... so what if it’s boring, in my experience those complaining of variety always seem to be the ones that never get impressive results.

Here is what I do “most of the time” to be in very lean condition

•     I do not eat breakfast (intermittent fasting)

•     I eat 2-3 times a day

•     I consume a large carb meal, usually Saturday evening to restock muscle glycogen, give an anabolic boost, increase thyroid output and reduce mental stress.

•     When I am in very lean condition, I will add a mid week carb up (albeit smaller than saturday) and switch to higher fat protein.

•     I perform little “traditional cardio” (treadmill, stair climber, elliptical etc)

•     I eat the same meals pretty much everyday.

•     I train very intense, 3 - 4 times per week for 25-35 minutes.
