Guru Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) I was thinking something like this Breakfast - Eggs, Oatmeal or some other kind of fat food which I can burn throughout the day Pre-Workout - Protein Bar Workout from like 2-4 on average Lunch - Pasta with chicken or brown rice with chicken along with a protein bar later and whey protein shake after my workout Dinner - Brown rice with chicken or just chicken with something else Before I sleep I take a protein shake Don't know if that works. I still want to get 150-170 grams of protein per day, but not as much fat and calories. I pretty much just want to get my abs showing, so basically lose like 3-5% body fat and I am sure with all the weights and protein I will continue to get bigger. My main problem is breakfast. I am not sure what I can eat there. I don't want to eat eggs all the time because my cholesterol already sucks as it is. Quality is the most important but quantity is also extremely important when trying to cut weight. Make sure you are eat at least 500 calories under your maintenance level if you want to lose weight. You could eat a bunch of great food, but if you eat too much are going to gain weight/fat. Simple as that. Use this to get a rough estimation of how many calories you should intake on a daily basis: http://www.muscleandstrength.com/tools/bmr-and-daily-calorie-calculator.html Edited June 4, 2011 by Guru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 It saids I need 2,900 calories per day. So I was thinking on the day I workout, I get about 2,300 calories, and on my off days/school days, I get like 1,700-2,000 since I won't be as active. I feel like I was eating under 3,000 calories everyday though, but I didn't really keep track of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always eat some fruits for breakfast with oatmeal to get your day going. Or just have protein shake for your breakfast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 You can always eat some fruits for breakfast with oatmeal to get your day going. Or just have protein shake for your breakfast. Oatmeal with a banana and a half spoon of brown sugar for taste. Excellent way to start your day. Protein shakes in the morning I have been told aren't that good for you especially if you plan on consuming more protein after a early morning workout.

SRV Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) This is actually going pretty well...it has only been a week but I feel better and stuff, I am able to get the weights up easier...anyways, the diet isn't too bad, I actually enjoy most of the food. The first morning I had oatmeal was horrible, I put way too much milk with it and it took me like 30 minutes to eat because of how horrible it was. The second day I put in less milk and it wasn't all that bad. I also bought some eggbeaters egg whites which is good because it has no cholesterol and its 5g of protein per serving.

SRV Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Got a question about abs. You know the top row of abs, really small that start right below your chest? I don't think I am capable of getting those lol. My middle abs show when I do my ab exercise, but there is no sign of the top row. Which is weird because everywhere I read it saids that the top 2 abs are the first to show. Abnormal body ftw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRV Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I mean, I feel them, but there is no line in between them. Oh well, hopefully they come around one day lol My genetics really suck if I can't get my top abs to show but my bottom ones do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Try finding an abs machine the sits you up straight and makes you go downwards towards your legs to complete the crunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRV Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) I am losing weight and I am just eating 500 calories under what I need. Losing about 1 pound every week or two and I am still keeping the muscle I put on during my first unsuccessful bulk lol..I find it way too boring to run on the treadmill and way too damn hot and humid to run outside.

SRV Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 I haven't picked up a basketball since December lol, the guys I usually play with have all gotten lazy and they never want to play any sports. I don't really need any cardio though, I am able to lose weight without it, and doing weights get me tired as crap as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammin Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) Cardio should be mandatory for workouts, even if its a 10 minute warmup. So amazing for losing fat, not just weight. Edited June 29, 2011 by Jammin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guru Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 I play 3-5 hours of basketball everyday. [expletive] a treadmill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) Another reason the treadmill can screw off is because I practically lived on it a few years ago. Back in high school when I had no idea how to workout and had no goal, I would chill on the treadmill everyday for 30 minutes, doing sprints and inclines while running followed by "lifting weights" with no effort at all. After 2 weeks I was bored to death, but I did it for about a month and a half and a few times after that. On top of that I was playing basketball every day in PE. For that reason alone, I ended up looking like a skeleton. I was super skinny, but I had no muscle at all. I know I should be running on the treadmill, but I am doing fine without it.

trutrojan8 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Can we get this thread started again? I've been starting to go to the gym more since it's free here and really nice. I've ran a little over 8 miles in the last 8 days, and feel great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobb Posted October 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 I haven't been to the gym since this semester started. Working 20-25 hours a week and going to school is leaving me with little time. Plus, the buddy I use to go with went away to college as well.
