Beginner Help

hmmm

you are looking too much into it

forget your body fat percentage

nobody knows how many calories you should be eating, it depends on a lot of factors, thats for you to find out

Read these articles http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/articles-bodybuilding-beginners.aspx

From looking at your pic yes you are holding some fat, so stick to that routine above and do cardio on your off days

From those articles you should be able to come up with a semi decent diet yourself, if you need specific help then post it and ask, DONT ask for someone to make you a diet from scratch :rolleyes:

follow it for a few weeks and monitor your progress, and adjust accordingly, aim for 1-2lbs loss per week, and as you are a beginner, you will probably gain some muscle as well as lose fat for a period

Thanks for the reply. I'm having a look through those articles now.

If I stick to the routine I posted which builds muscle, but also includes some CV on my off days. Should my diet be a bulking diet or cutting diet?

I'm assuming bulking.... :)
 
Due to the time of year, I'd suggest going for a cutting diet. Get a nice looking body, and then in winter bulk up when you will have your top on all the time.

If you need some diet ideas, here are some good foods to mess about with:

Carbs

Rice
Bread
Sweet potatoes

Protein

Whey protein
Low fat/fat free cottage cheese
Skinless chicken breast

Fat

Natural peanut butter
Extra virgin olive oil
Flaxseed oil
