Ok Im 16 years old, Im 5’9, 230lbs. and I box. I have a lot of muscle, but some fat on my body that needs to come off. I have good knockout power and win most of my matches but the problem is I get really tired during the 7th and 8th round. My goal is to have more endurance and have a better looking body. I have a real problem following diets and so forth so I basically just stick to eating high-protein, low carb meals to cut fat. So here is my daily regimen: I wake up and in the morning lift, go to my boxing gym and train for about 2 hrs, then right efore bed I run about 3 miles. Any advice?
