ok just looking for some advice from those that have successfully have changed their body composition. Here is what I am looking at for a weekly exercise schedule.

Sunday- HIIT cardio
Monday- AM cardio low intensity 45 min, PM weight training
Tuesday- HIIT cardio
Wednesday- AM cardio low intensity 45min, PM weight training
Thursday- HIIT cardio
Friday- rest day

As for diet I don't eat grains so here is my daily macros

1410cals
60% protein 194g
20% fat 39g
20% carbs 71g

And looking to have a cheat day not sure which day to do.

Would this work? I really want to get rid of the rest of the fat and just get my BF% down, I really don't care how much I weigh on the scale.

    I am curious too, I am on a similar schedule.

    BodyRock.tv or "Tabata" workouts three times a week.
    AM low intensity cardio 45 min & PM weight training three times a week.

    You may find this article interesting. It is written for the body builder audience and may be intimidating but I still found allot of interesting info. Especially around swinging your diet to match your exercise and feeding the weight training.

    I did read that article, I also thought it was very interesting. I am just not sure about the calories eaten and maybe that is my problem, do I eat enough? I was thinking of trying what they said in the article it is a little confusing, I just don't want my whole day to seem like I am thinking about what to eat all the time.
