I'm having a major issue with cutting. I need help with a meal plan. I'm 296 at 22% bodyfat. I would like to get down to at least 10% body fat. I'm open for any suggestions.
how bout eating for strength? I saw like 1 or 2 for eating to gain size and another for eating to gain lean mass but nothing for strength specifically. I don't really want to focus on getting heavier, just stronger.

Can anyone tell me how to recover without supplements? I am on a low budget so i can not afford any. I also live with a lot of restrictions being in the military, is there any non-perishable items that i can have right after my workout to help recover? An is there any food that i can have on the side to help bulk up? Keep in mind that i need food that can go in the dorms.

I know this will sound odd, but really there is no food that will add 10lb to your bench press in 2 or even 4 weeks
now, diet-wise there are a few things: firstly we realise that a high testosterone is what we need for strength gain, so here are a few tips:
-fats: particularly monounsaturated fats (e.g. olive oil) and even saturated fats such as red meat... whole eggs are great as well
-protein: interesting enough, you don't want too get too much protein when testosterone output is your goal... if you diet with carbs, you want to get about twice as much carbs then protein... now carbs are still in contradiction, some say they increase test, others say that a low-carb diet is what increases test... that might be true, but I think that's largely due to the fat, so in my book carbs are ok when your goal is high test - also being loaded with carbs will give you energy and strength... just avoid the carbs that are rich in fiber (e.g. oats) - again if your goal is max testosterone output
