AGE: 20 years
Height: 6 feet 1 inch
Weight: 202-205
Body fat: 10.7%

I first started working out my freshman year of college, so I have been going at it for about 2 years. Just this past January, I suffered a serious injury in my right knee and required surgery. It put me out for a couple months, but I have since been consistently working out for the past 3 months. I am still not able to run w/o discomfort, so my cardio is pretty limited right now. I have been working out only my right leg to get the muscle back to normal. I just did a skinfold test yesterday and it came out to 10.7%, I have never done one before.

I have been keeping pretty much the same routine of weight lifting for the past 3 months, but the past 4-5 weeks or so I have been following a low calorie diet.

The Diet consists of consuming around 1800 - 2000 calories a day, spaced out evenly through 6 meals. No fast food at all, mainly just some frozen dinners from Healthy Choice, whole grain cereals, skim milk, Protein shakes that consist of protein powder with strawberries banana and peanut butter, turkey sandwiches on 12 grain wheat bread as well as tuna sandwiches, and south beach diet protein breakfast bars. I realize that the calories are lower than they should be, I have been trying to cut down some of the body fat. I think I will start to consume a bit more, around 2000-2300 or so to try and gain more mass in the muscles, although I have been getting stronger and gaining some muscle mass through this diet.

Supplements:
