I'm New Here (sort of)

I am 5'6, 140lbs, 20%bf+......I do workout regularly.....I am quite strong, can bench my weight with no problems, squat 185lbs no problems either....been stuck at both of those for a while now...nearly a year actually.....I'm not too concerned with raising my lift numbers, I'd just like to lean out..not too lean that I have to be so strict, but, lean enough that I can live a normal life.....I've contemplated AS, but, am not planning on that route yet, if I do decide to do it that is.........I have gotten leaner with high protein, low carbs, but, I can't live like that for long....eventually I lose my mind.......maybe I can get some insight here......if you have any questions, please ask

Well, if you're asking for %'s of carbs and protein, I don't know.....I do have alot of protein throughout the day, tuna, chicken, shakes...I'd say 150g+ of protein a day, some days more.....carbs, well, no pasta, no potatoes...mostly natural carbs or rice....the odd time oatmeal.........cardio 6-7 days a week... 30mins or more...lifting 4-5 days a week...cardio is usually in morning, lifting at gym at night....my diet is pretty clena really..or i think it is...and of course, I have been known to eat ice cream on occasion.....but, it seems, from past experiences, I can get leaner with way low carbs, but, I can't live like that and then bam, I'm back up to more fat..it's a catch 22

Potatoes are natural, yes...I just stay away from them..sorry for not saying what I meant

I said I was lifting in my first post and 3rd post


I stated my goals....and, to be more exact, I'd like to be at 16-18%bf


Not sure of calories

As for ratios, I've never bothered to get into that.....

Potatoes aren't a natural carb?

Are you lifting?

What are your goals?

how many cals?

Ratios would help.
