So I am 10 weeks out for competition...I was actually going to compete in a show in 4 weeks, but I am still at 18% bodyfat (5'8", meso-body type, 146lbs - I was 21-22% bodyfat and 158lbs) after dieting for 9+ weeks, so I decided to go for the show that is 10 weeks out.

I am very very frustrated and SO TIRED (physically and mentall) My bodyfat loss has stalled bodyfat and I lack legs meaning they are just so uncut, its sad - I feel like I have less muscle) and I really need help from someone/anyone...please critique my changes for the next 10 weeks

Here is my proposed diet for the next 10 weeks (my diet has changed approximately 2 times):

Meal 1: 3 oz of turkey, 1/2 grapfruit, 3 egg whites
Meal 2: 2 scoops of MP (not sure if I need 2 scoops - what do you all suggest) - no added fat
Meal 3: 5 oz of turkey or chicken, 2 cups of spinach or other low carb veggie w/ red wine vinegar
Meal 4: Same as Meal 2
Meal 5: 5 oz of turkey or chicken OR 6oz of white fish, 2 cups of spinach or other low carb veggie w/ red wine vinegar
Meal 6: 4 egg whites, 1 cup of spinach
On Monday and Thursday, carb load meals to replace meal 5: 1 cup of oatmeal (before cooking), 4 oz banana, 6 oz sweet potato, 10 almonds, 1 cup of veggies
(Occasional add in of flavored water, sugar free jello, or sugar free gum, and splenda)

I am working with a Personal Trainer who is using some form of the beverly diet, but I have noticed that the calories are extremely low, etc. and all the no-no's that have been mentioned, carb day + carbs in meal 1 and 3 for example, have been used in my 2 previous diets

She has not given me really directed training split so I plan to implement the following:
Cycles: 4 days on, 1 day off AND 1 week low weight, high reps, 2 weeks high weight, low reps
Day 1: Legs Day 2: Chest and Back Day 3: Shoulders, Triceps, Arms, Day 4: Legs Day 5: Off Day 6: Chest, Back, Shoulders, Triceps, Arms, Day. He has me doing the following 6 day training split:
Back, Legs, Arms, Shldrs, Chest, Calves & Abs. (I do mostly tri-sets with hi reps, for rest between sets I do abs or calves)
I am doing ALOT of cardio right now: I try to do double sessions 6 days a week but my schedule does not allow it. I have gotten up to 50 minutes goal of getting to 5000 calories burned a week (Right now I am near 3240/wk or 540 per day - but I am inconsistent) on various equipment - stepmill, treadmill (not so often), ellipitical and recumbent bike. I am also posing 2-3 times per week.

Can I conceivably drop the 7-8% bodyfat I need in just under 10 weeks without sacrificing (much) muscle? Do I need to change the diet after a certain point? Please, if you have any suggestion, please please please let me know. I need all the help I can get as I now have to do the next 10 weeks on my own
