Nutrition for a 55+ bodybuilder

Ok, I think there’s a lot of confusion out there about nutrition and bodybuilding, and very little information for bodybuilders 55+. I have been using the Bodybug, (bodybug.come) which is an electronic devise I wear on my tricep that measures calories burned. I enter in calories consumed into the APEX program and maintain a 450 calorie deficit daily. So far I’ve dropped from 15.8% bf to 12.4%bf in 5 weeks. I eat just about anything (waffles, maple syrup, butter, etc.) that I like as long as it fits within the daily deficit zone and maintains the following ratio: 60% carbs; 20% protein; 20% fats. I’ve cut out alcohol and cheese just about totally. I may have a glass of red wine once in a while. What do you think?

What have I got to loose?

When I first started to shift from weight-training to bodybuilding this past May, I realize, now, that I changed from just wanting to loose weight, and needed to loose some other things, too. I began loosing some bad eating habits, ok, drinking habits, and a kind of indifference about my body, etc. that enabled me to become overweight. I finally realize that bodybuilding is really a lifestyle that comes with a whole package of things all tied up in the same commitment. I found the moniker, "What I have I got to loose?" helpful as I unloaded some of the unnecessary weight that I was carrying, and the careless attitudes that went along with this. I’m curious, what do you think–and? What do you have to loose?

Welcome!
