Hi All,
Here is my diet, please feel free to rip it apart.
Little history:
I am 6' 215. I lost 38 lbs last year through Atkins/ starvation. After finding this site and reading all the stickys and questions I know I need to change my diet and eat right. I am 40 years old and looking to lose the flab and tighten up. Fat in the usual areas of the stomach, chest, love handles.
My workout is:
Sunday - back, chest, tri's 45 minutes slow cardio after workout
Tuesday - Legs, Abs, 25 minutes cardio pre workout
Thursday - Shoulders, Biceps, 45 minutes cardio after workout
Saturday - 45 minutes cardio, Abs
I usually keep the sets around 4 including warmups, I do 2 exercises per bodypart for a total of 8 sets per part, except tri's where I only do 2 sets.
Diet:
meal 1 - 1 egg, 4 egg whites, 1 packet instant oatmeal, 3 fish oil supps, LCarnintine, mulitvitamin
meal 2 - Protein shake, 8oz skim milk, apple
meal 3 - 5oz beef or fish or chicken, sweet potatoe, 1 cup vegetables
meal 4 - protein shake, 8oz skim milk or if time permits 5 oz tuna
meal 5 - 5oz beef or chicken or fish, 1 cup vegetables, with slice of melted cheese
meal 6 - 1/2 cup 1% cottage cheese, 3 fish oil supps.
I believe I am not eating enough carbs, but don't know where to put them in my meal schedule. Meal 4 is tough as I am usually on my way home from work, so that's why there is a second protein shake. Meal 2 is a shake as I am still full 3 hours later from the first meal.
Thanks for the input.
Bill
