I'm a hair under 6'4", 255lbs, 56"'chest, 19" pipes.
I like being big. I feel mighty and strong. A thunder God. People treat me with respect, and I get left respectfully alone, which suits me just fine.
As well as cycling my other passion is powerlifting. However, due to a torn rotator cuff and being diagnosed with BPPV I've not competed all year and my lifting training has been curtailed. I'm beginning to think my competing days are over and it may be time to think about keeping lean and maintaining well established muscle mass.
The downside of this mightiness is that my cycling suffers. Distance, nae prob, but a competitive speed is beyond me. As I'm getting old (I'm 45) this is starting to irk me).
My other confession is that my diet is terrible. With all the cycling and lifting its never been a problem, but as I get older I really need to pay attention.
So, I need to lean out a bit. I'd like to get back to about 238-240lbs, even if it means losing a bit of muscle (i was a feeble.52" chest when I was last that weight).
So, what's a good diet to help me lose a wee bit, but still keep me protein'd up? I'm allergic to tree nuts an intolerant of tomato.
I'm genuinely open to sensible advice, tips, ideas.
Cheers.
