I just love answering these diet help questions. Here’s another:
Question: Im 6′3…235lbs…and i wanna start a work out program to get me to a lean/fit 205….i want to start training for mma. i got my work out all figured out…i just don’t have any idea what to do for a diet….any advice appreciated.
Answer: When you start training MMA assuming it’s a gym ask them to help you get your diet in order. Any decent trainer should have some info on that.
Otherwise lean proteins (fish, eggs, chicken, lean beef, beans, nuts, peanut butter, cottage cheese, milk), lots of fruit and vegetables (pick something you like and try to mix it up). Complex carbs (whole wheat bread, whole wheat pasta etc.
If possible try for smaller more frequent meals.
I also suggest a protein supplement such as whey protein. Also multivitamin, creatine and ZMA if desired. The last two being not necessary.
Good ideas for snacks are almonds, peanut butter, cottage cheese. Fruits/vegetables.
Quit drinking alcohol and if you can only drink water or possibly sports drinks depending on how hard you work out.
Good luck!
Its great that you want to get fit! For diet, its important to eat something every 3 hours to keep blood sugar levels stable, which helps hunger cravings if you have any, and helps lose weight. Also having a protein like milk or yogurt within an hour after your workout will help put of muscle.
Have a good breakfast, like oatmeal, a fruit and a dairy or meat. Be sure to eat plenty of fruits and veggies and whole grains, no white breads or pastas. Having a steak 2-3 times a week would help with muscle gain, but on the other days have chicken, tuna, salmon or pork. Following the Canadian or American food guides will help you out too. I hope that gives you something! Wish you the best.

You say that you have your workout all figured out…would you clue me in? Your diet should fuel your efforts, so I need to know what you’ll be doing before I tell you how to eat! Email that to me, as well as any dietary restrictions/allergies.
