You guys should consider the diet and exercise plans of some of the guys who had to buff/cut up for superhero roles.
I mean they had the best that money could buy in terms of nutrition and gym work to be able to convincingly portray their characters it multi million dollar movies.
Heres one from Chris Evans for Captain America and plenty others on the web:

Had a look there and those reps/sets are insane not to mention the supplements and food you have to consume.
Id say impractical for the mainstream but interesting nontheless.
Hence why I said DTP is for advance lifters.

Finally got around to this.
The difference between the Durnin/Womersley and Jackson/Pollack methods is quite significant. BF of 18.6% vs 13.9% in my case. Which do you prefer and why?
There's also the question of getting from density to BF % as well, using either Siri or Brozek. I just averaged the two.

Jackson/Pollock have 3,4, and 7 site formulas. I prefer the 7 site method. However, if you wish to include that specific site ie thighs and calves, use the 9 site Parillo. It doesn't tend to be quite as "accurate", however you might find more consistent numbers with it if you wish to include a lower back measurement.
End of the day the more sites the better.

Hi guys,
I've never particularly watched what I ate (in a calorie counting type fashion) but from Monday I think i'm going to try.
The below figures are from MyFitnessPal.
The are based on the fact that:
*I weigh 79kg (179cm tall)
*That at the end of 3 months i'd like to be 72kg (fight night)
*I have a sedentary level of activity at work as i'm behind a desk all day.
They don't consider the fact that:
*I am going to be doing 2x boxing gym sessions daily.
*1x morning and 1x evening session.
*The morning will typically be a fitness / boxing fitness routine and the evening will typically be a skills / sparring routine.
*This routine will be Mon-Thurs with Fri as a rest day. Sat will have 1x skills / sparring session and Sun will be a rest day.
Considering the exercise involved, how much more should I consider eating / adding to my meal plan and am I actually overshooting on fat / protein as per their stats?
Thanks,

Thanks, any idea what I can do to increase those calories without having to stuff huge quantities of food down my throat?
I'm not the biggest eater sometimes and other times I can eat a ton. It really varies so i'm looking for something thats easy to consume I guess.

My advise will be add chicken breasts...
You want to loose weight but also pack on quality muscle lean functional muscle.
You are prepping for a fight, your body will desperately need the extra protein for cell repair.
The way I increase my calories is by adding more sweet potato and/or more chicken/fish/egg whites.

Pray tell, what's the difference between modern Atkins, and what Tim Noakes advocates?
My prep for fights is usually 5-6 meals a day.
200g chicken per meal 100g brown rice. As much veggies as I feel.
Fats are CLA's and Coconut oil.
Very basic diet, don't eat for taste eat for function.
Above is just an example as it won't work for you since I weigh on fight day around 102Kg.

@jsheed_sa , why worry about looking for ways to stuff in extra calories when you want to lose 7kg?
Maybe for now, eat the diet you pasted above, then see what starts to happen to your weight. In fact, if you want to lose 7kg in 12 weeks you are going to have to lose 583g per week. I say aim to lose more than that at the start, as the weight loss will actually slow down after a few weeks anyways.
If you get to your goal weight ahead of time, then there are plenty of ways to add in calories.
edit: Thor's advice for the extra calories sounds good to me
