Just starting SS and got through my first week. I am 31 years old, 225lbs, and if I had to guess between 25-30% BF. How should I go about tackling my diet. I was thinking 200g protein, 150g carbs, and not worrying too much about fat as I plain to eat "clean". Is this a good starting point or is that too low of calories to progress well with the program. Being at such a high BF% i'm honestly not sure what to do since I want to get stronger but also feel it would be healthy to get my BF% down.
Sounds fine to me. How tall are you?

I've lost approx. 50 lbs in the past 18 months but with no exercise. Have never done any real training in my life either. I'm not sure what my BF% is but I was just at my primary and was told my BMI was 29.1
I would also like to ask, if it isn't too much trouble, are there any other supplements I should consider taking besides protein power?
Thank you for your knowledge and time.
Take some creatine monohydrate and ramp up those carbohydrates. You need to get stronger and I can assure you that your body will recompose itself as you do. I wouldn't lose any weight I would just see how much you can put on the bar without gaining much more...at least for now.
Thank you for your direction. It is really appreciated.
You are welcome
