Fat Intake per day

thehotone20 Posts: 2 Joined: 2007/10/28	2007/10/28, 09:46 PM I am new to this site so please forgive me if I am on the wrong forum for this but. I am looking to get my abs to show. I am 185lbs 6'1 athletic build workout everyday by doing an ab routine, upper body workout, then about 30 minutes cardio and sometimes play some basketball with friends. I have got my calorie, protein, and carbs intake taken care of but not sure how much fat I should be taking in per day. If someone could lead me in the right direction that would be very helpful for me :) I also eat about 6 times a day (small meals) like i should, drink a lot of water and am on supplements.

I am suppose to have 360 carbs, 360 protein, 3082 calories, and 105 fat. What should I be at for all of those in order to lose fat and become more lean so that I can gain muscle and be able to see my 6-pack? Thank you for your help.

If you want to get lean keep working out but take in around 2000 calories a day. Try taking in less fat and simple carbs as well. An ab routine twice a week may help also to further define the muscles.
