Thread: Detailed advice needed

Okey dokey, I intruduced myself in the newbie forum but I will give a little more info here.

I'm 32 yrs old, 6'1"ish and weigh 265lbs. I don't know what my current bf% is but I'm sure it's still quite high. I started training for the first time in years last November and my bf% was a staggering 34% (I'm so ashamed). My weight has barely changed since then but I have definitely added some muscle and lost some fat. I'll be calculating my bf% again shortly.

My main goal at the moment is to lose fat. I know I may lose some muscle with it but that's ok. I'm a very stocky person (50" chest) so losing some muscle mass won't hurt me much as I know I can put it back on. I have taught myself about protein, carbs, fat, efa's and created a spreadsheet to calculate my BMR (which I will send to anyone who wants it).

I have been a member of the Muscle & Fitness chat board since last October but I think that the members on this board are more experienced which is why I am coming to you.

Long story short, meal plans and nutrition are my worst area. I know to eat 5-6 smaller meals a day and I have whey powder to help meet that requirement but I just can't get a handle on good meals to eat. I'm married with two daughters so preparing meals for myself is tough.

Any suggestions, recipes, meal plans and such would be very much appreciated. I figure I need no less than 2400 cals a day in order to lose weight (fat).

Thanks.

Thanks ID, I'll give that a shot first.
