    Build the Muscle/Lose the Fat

    I decided it would be a good idea to start a journal to kind of hold myself accountable for what I eat and to keep me motivated for my workouts. A little background, I'm 19, male, 6 ft. tall, 164 pounds. I'm not really sure of my body fat percentage but I wear a 34 inch pants. This summer I am really wanting to workout hard and try to put on some lean muscle and also lose some fat. I'm planning on doing weight 3x a week and cardio 4-5x a week. Tomorrow I plan on doing cardio and weights. Here is the plan for Friday.

    6:30-wake up and 1 scoop whey

    7:00-8:00-speed walk on treadmill on incline

    8:30--80g Oatmeal, 1 natural yogurt, 4 egg whites, 1 whole egg

    11:00--6oz Sweet Potato, 1 Tbs. Natty Peanut Butter, 2 Fish Oil, 2 Cups Brocolli

    2:00--70g Oatmeal, 1/2 can tuna, 3 egg whites, 2 cups bellpeppers,1 fat free cheese

    3:30-4:30--weights--squats,leg extension, leg raise,leg curls, preacher curls, dumbell curls

    4:45--5 oz Banana, 1 Scoop Whey, 70g Oatmeal, 1 Cup Skim Milk

    7:00--5 oz Grilled Chicken, 1/2 Cup 7 grain pilaf, 3 Cups Brocolli, 2 Fish Oil

    9:30--1/2 can tuna, 1 oz almonds, 2 Fish Oil

    Totals 2812 Calories, 61g Fat, 313g Carbs, 251g Protein

    20%/45%/35%

    I thought I'd go ahead and post my plans for saturday and sunday so I can stay strict. Saturday is going to be a problem day for me because I have to work a 9:00-6:00 shift at work. Needless to say I don't plan on doing any working out Saturday. Another problem with this is I won't be able to get 6 true meals in and I will probably have to pick something up quick for lunch...i'll try to keep this meal somewhat nutritious. I figure I'll burn a lot of calories at work because I am a bagger at a grocery store and all I do all day is carry groceries out to people's cars. Here is Saturday's plan:

    6:30--100g Oatmeal, 1 natural yogurt, 1 scoop whey

    8:45--1 Can Tuna, 1/2 Cup 7 grain pilaf

    1:00--This sucks because after meal 2 I don't get a chance to eat till one. However, I found this healthy restaraunt that I'm going to try. I just don't like the fact that I won't know the nutrition. I'm getting a grilled portobello mushroom burger----portobello mushroom patty, 7 grain bread, organic white cheddar, tomato, bean sprouts, organic guacamole......I guess this is a pretty healthy lunch!??!

    6:30--5 oz Grilled Chicken, 3/4 Cup Brown Rice, 3 Cups Brocolli, 1 Fat free Cheese

    9:00--1 Scoop Whey, 1 oz Almonds

    No clue about the macros because of lunch
    oh well
