Question
I'm new to boxing I'm 6"1 and 209 pounds I need a good diet plan so i
can keep the weight off i dont mind dropping to 200. I basically wanna
know what nutrition i need to keep me lean, my energy levels high and
my body strong. Do you have any good links i could follow? Thanks
Leroy,
I would suggest you focus more on a training regimen for your weight control than a diet. A diet is just a temporary solution to an ongoing issue. You can't diet forever. So you need to step up your running distance and your jump rope.
There are some guidelines for eating that you can follow that will help support your ability to control your weight and stay under 200.
Never miss breakfast.
Eat until your satisfied not until your full.
Drink water between meals.
No soft drinks.
Eat less bread.
Don't eat right before bed.
good luck

Experience
I have been in the sport of boxing since 1984. I started as a boxer and advanced quickly. I was lucky enough to have some of the best sparring in the country with 3 top ten pros in my very gym. I am fortunate enough to live near one of the better boxing programs in the country. We have cultivated our facility into the largest Amateur Boxing Gym in the country. In the mid 90's I became a trainer for Golden Gloves. I train amateur and pro fighters. I have worked in many corners at USA and Golden Glove tournaments. I have worked corners in pro bouts on HBO and ESPN cards. My friend, boss and coach is the former President of Golden Gloves and I trained under his tutelage.
