Was just wondering what foods, meals or combinations of foods people eat for trying to drop body fat and lean up.

Its something im currently trying to do. I have made an encouraging start but still cant quite see the six pack.

Any advise and tips would be really welcome and helpful.

Many thanks

    No food will help you lose more and lean up.

    A deficit will help you lose weight. Eating enough, getting enough protein and lifting heavy will help you build muscle... I'm not sure what you mean by lean up.

    Sorry. Poor use of the english language.

    Im trying to lower my bodyfat % currently about 11%.

    I exercise 5-6 days a week mostly weight training but i do cardio 3-4 times a week in that as well.

    and you say no food will help you lose more and lean up but im pretty sure eating chicken rice and veg with a glass of water is better for me then pizza chips and a can of coke.

    Sure, chicken and rice can be better for you however weight loss is solely due to calories. Pizza can be a great meal when trying to lose weight or gain muscle. It is a mixture of grains, protein, diary and vegetables if made correctly.

    Eating something specific won't cause you to lose more or less weight than if you were to eat something else (outside of sodium intake).

    To lower your body fat % build muscle. Eat at a slight surplus, lift heavy, max out on protein. Make sure you aren't doing weights on the same muscle two days in a row. Let your muscle repair themselves.
