Thread: some help please

go to bodybuilding.com and read some nutrition articles. you only lift arms and legs? WTF?

I do Abs on arm days and back on leg days...what else is there? This is just a overall look at the workout.

I'll post a basic diet I am doing right now...

Here's what I'm doing about now in a basic sense. What am I missing and what do I need to take out ...thanks for any help, it would be much appreciated.

Food - calories
Meal 1

Toast w/fruit spread - 130
8oz orange juice - 110
T- 240

Meal 2

Meal replacement/protein drink - 210
Large Apple - 125
T- 335

Meal 3

Tuna sandwich - 475
(2 slices whole wheat bread + 3 oz tuna + tbs peanut butter + tbs mayo)
1 cup Turkey Noodle Soup w/ water - 70

T- 545

Meal 4

Protein bar - 260
Large Banana - 110

T- 370

Meal 5

Grilled 6oz Chicken Breast - 190
2 cups boiled Broccoli - 110
1 cup Brown rice - 220
8oz fruit smoothie - 200
(strawberry/banana)

T- 720

Total calories - 2210

So that's the basic one, I follow about this same plan every day...thoughts..ridicules? All welcome.

do some more research, many people are reluctant to put in the time and effort of planning a diet for someone. I mean, there are people who get paid to do that. If you want to build a good diet you need to put in some effort and research.

"I have looked through just about all the cutting plans I could find on here and now I am just more confused than before."

The before is the research. I'm asking for help, if you don't want to help, don't respond...thanks.
