Dr X,

I'm preparing for my first natural bodybuilding contest at a Musclemania event. It's not my first show ever but might as well be since I last competed in 1993. So because I want to be ripped I started early...16 weeks out. Really the reason is I had substantial amount of fat around my abs. So right now I'm a full 10 weeks out. I orginally weighed 222lbs at 16 weeks out. Six weeks later I'm at 210lbs. I feel great and strong. I'm still lifting heavy and actually I've increased my poundages for the same reps. I've definitely lost fat but my problem area will be my lower abs. At this point I'm just starting to see the lines of my abs. Every other body part is starting to get veiny and tight. Below is my diet plan. Please let me know what you think of it and am I on the right track to getting ripped.

1st meal
5 egg whites w/turkey or lean beef
1 whey protein shake with half banana

Workout includes 45 minutes of cardio

2nd meal
5 egg whites w/turkey or lean beef
1 whey protein shake with half banana

3rd meal
1 whey protein shake w/peanut butter
1 1/2 cup of oatmeal

4th meal
1 chicken breast or fillet of fish (tilipia)
broccoli

5th meal
1 chicken breast or fillet of fish (tilipia)
1 yam

6th meal
1 1 whey protein shake w/peanut butter
1 1/2 cup of oatmeal

Keep in mind I'm doing 45 minutes of cardio a day. I really want to get ripped for this show. Thanks for your thoughts. If anyone else would like to comment please do. Thanks gang.
