Wanting to learn about doing my own diet

[blondey]

Any help or advice on the following will be greatly appreciated.

I'm training for figure comps (was orgionally going to compete in Nov. but have decided to compete closer to nationals next year to put on more muscle before I rip right down.)

Currently I'm at 53kg's and are about 12%BF. I've been seeing a nutrsionalist for a while, but want to learn about doing this for myself - a friend has recommened a book called the Almanac and going onto a Keto diet, and also some form of trainingg where you train heavy for the first three days and then lift light on your last two training days during the week?

Any advice or books out there that you know of that will help me to learn more about my friends recommendations?

Do a search for posts by FitnessChick--she posted her comp. diet several months ago.

If you are looking to put on a little muscle, then you do not need to be doing any kind of dieting at all, there is no need for keto, unless you are doing it before a show etc. Since you have plenty of time before you compete, you need to focus on taking in plenty of protein and complex carbs, and training hard.....keep searching for pre-contest diets and you can try out a few, but if you want to put on some good quality muscle I would try to eat 5-6 meals a day, at least 1-1.5 grams of protein per lb, and nice amount of complex carbs as well. What is your diet like now???

if you follow the most common low carb diets, you should lift mon,tue,fri and eat carbs only from late fri to late sat to avoid fat being laid on-12%BF sounds close to excellent for a female

When you do a search on Fitnesschick only one thread comes up and it has nothing to do with diet?
