p.s. I've been working out too .. 4 days weight training and 2 days cardio.....

You can wiegh yourself whenever you want.......w8 is secondary to fat loss....measurements (weekly) and skinfolds (monthly) are more valuable...the only reason we check our w8 is to be sure that we are not losing too much or too fast!

none? for the first week none??

A pound of fat has 3500 calories...we are increasing your calories, you may lose weight (water weight form glycogen (don't ask) depletion), but it is unlikely that you will lose FAT w/o compliance to the programs. And not in the first week!

You're pocessed with "fast results" and all that is gonna do is screw you metabolism up more than you have already...and your more than likely to end up being more and more overweight as you age!

If you "Listen Up" to those that have been trying to help you....you

1) Learn how to eat to control fat for the rest of your life
2) Become healthier
3) Get Leaner
4) Learn more about yourself and your body than you have so far, in a much shorter time

You said that you are 20.......excuse for me for asking, but based on your questions and attitute........is that the truth please (no offense intended)?

yes i am 20 yrs old. i may not sound 20, because no one in my family, friends read nutrition lables or know anything about nutritions thats why my questions are annoying you guys.

Then excuse me for asking....we are trying to help.

How about you ask questions that we haven't answered, in your journal, instead of all over the place......and we try to help you here, OKay?

DP

i know you are trying to help! and you are helping already! thank you. i just feel like im annoying you guys.. because my questions sound kinda stupid

We don't mind "stupid" questions (not that I'm saying they are) as long as we know you're listening to the answers

Do you want to post your workout schedule?

And Daily Meal Plan?

i am listening to your answers and following it (my best)

Repeat: If you post a Meal plan (why they asked you to start a Journal)...we would know that you were, or be able to hlep you better!

(I know you have seen others, why not pattern yours after Jodi, her meals, her W/O's....for format only...but post what you ate and did instead)

tomorrow 1/12/2003

8 am - 1/2 cup oatmeal(27 carb,5 protein,3 fat) and mix it with 1 scoop of protein powder that contains 3 grams of carbs and 22 grams of protein and 2 grams of fat

this is good...but add a fat source...heavy cream or peanut butter would be good here

workout: warm up on treadmill for 10 minutes (high intensity)
(lower body) each excersie do 5 sets 12-maxout reps
do abs ( 5 sets) two different excersies

Did you get that trainer to make a program for you? It would help if you spelled out your workout...what exercises you do, what bodyparts you work together, etc.

12:00 pm protein shake, 3 boiled egg whites, some celery..

Good....but add the yolks....you need a fat source in every meal or your protein will be used for energy and you won't be getting enough calories

(gotta be at work @ 1:00 pm)

at work: 3:00 Pm protein shake

Again....don't eat protein by itself...have fat (flax or cream) and a carb if you're having carbs...an apple would go good here

6:00 pm chicken breast, with barbecue sauce... 31 protein, 2 carbs, 1 fat.
also have salad ( lettuce, brocolli, and celery)

The barbeque sauce is full of sugar...use dry and/or fresh spices to flavour chicken....try adding some newmans dressing on your salad as a fat source...or make your own from apple cider vinegar and flax seed oil

8:30 pm isopure shake, 3 grams of carbs , 25 grams protein, 0 fat
(some peanut butter) 1 table spoon

OMG....I pulled a DP :o ...I didn't really edit your post OG...just hit the wrong button ...sorry :o

OG....what kind of physique do you want? I know you said 14%, but do you have a picture of the physique you're striving for?

you say add fat to your daily meals.. how much fat??? Im afraid to get a fatty ( bulky stomach ) which i already have if i eat more good fat

10 g per meal. Eating fat does not make you fat.

wow 10 grams! ill try my best...
this stupid trainer at the gym told me i can have only up to 25 grams of fat a day!!!!

i dont understand what you mean if i have a physices??
