easiest diet plan on the planet.
in order of amounts per day.
Veg, meat+fish, eggs, milk, yoghurt, nuts, cheese.
get it fresh, get it local, don't eat it if it's processed.
Eat lots to gain size, eat not so much to lose size.

I had a similar goal to yours when i first started. You need to be in a surplus of calories but dont go overboard , 200 or 300 of a surplus is enough for most. Like said keep it as clean as possible and cut out the processed rubbish, your local butchers should have some sort of a deal on your meats etc thats good value for money.

Make sure your carbs are from good complex sources i.e sweet potatoe, brown rice etc. Its worth supplementing creatine to your diet aswell, possibly the most anabolic thing you can take for building muscle naturally. Lastly be patient and dont get obsessed with the scales, if your getting stronger your building muscle the scales can be misleading just concentrate on the lifts and diet otherwise you'll panic over eat more than you should which will result in fat gain at least it did for me first time round .

thats i pretty good diet plan their lads.on the non training days if go for a light 2 to 3 mile walk/run it would help in the fat loss if you looking to shred a bit.

I think you need a lot more vegetables in your diet and some fat at each meal for energy, add some butter to your veg or meat or make a dressing.

Best of luck with only 29g of fat per day.

On your non weight training days id cut out the walk/run and replace it with some short and intense interval type training... Sprints etc I honestly think this would be more of a benefit to you and your short term goal.

I find it's great for keeping your body fat in check during a bulk too where it's pretty much a given even when clean bulking that your body fat will increase somewhat.

sorry thats what i ment by the walk/run.walk for 3 min sprint for 1 or what ever your able for.i like to do it around a football pitch.slow log for 2 laps sprint for 1 as you get fitter you can play around a bit with.or if your going on the road use the telephone poles as markers.what ever suits the individual.

Where are the vegetables? Where are the nutrients?

Cheap carb calories in bread, swap those slices out for a massive green leaf salads & Vegetables.

That little fat, with all that empty carbohydrate is going to put your body in a bad way.

What has made you come to the conclusion that you want a low-fat diet?

What's wrong with a 40/30/30 split? Or even a 45/20/35 ? (protein/carbs/fat)
