So I've been training now for about 2 months. I'm 5'10 or so, and right now I weigh 185 lbs. I think that I am in pretty good shape, but I still have a little extra fat. To give you an idea, by looking at me with a shirt on, you probably wouldn't be able to tell whether I have defined chest and abs, but when I take my shirt off you can see that I don't. I'm guessing that I have about 10 pounds or so to lose off of my upper body.

So my questions:

Assuming that I can do it gradually and don't have to shed pounds quickly for a fight, how should I eat?

I certainly don't over eat, but I'm still having trouble dropping the pounds.

What is your meal plan when you want to shed weight gradually?
