Thread: I need help with my daily routine

I have been doing Body-For-Life for the past 6 months with pretty amazing results. I went from 6'2" 205 (Soft as hell), to 6'2" 175 (and pretty ripped). My fear is that I'm gonna keep losing weight and therefor, muscle. I'm a pilot so I have to supplement a lot on the road. Here's my current typical days food intake:

~9:00 Myoplex or Met-Rx shake (sometimes with TBSP Low Fat Peanut butter or a banana) made with water. I often add insant coffee to wake me up.

~11:30 Turkey and Non-fat cheese on whole wheat tortilla (I use Tumaro's Low fat tortillas). Maybe add some dill relish and mustard or NF mayo.

~14:30 Protein Bar (Love Met-RX Choc. Choc. Chip Protein Plus) or Myoplex or Met-Rx Shake

~16:30 Can of Tuna on Whole wheat tortilla.

~18:30- 19:00 Grilled chicken breast with baked sweet or regular potato (often with Newmans Pineapple salsa). Green beans or salad. I only eat vinegar on my salad.

22:00 Myoplex or Met-Rx Shake. Maybe some fruit or NF Pudding thrown in.

Here's my workout schedule

With all exercises I do the following reps: 12, 10, 8, 6, 12 with 1 min rest between
and then immediately another exercise of the same muscle group set of 12 with no rest.

Is it enough to work each body part only once a week. With my current workout for instance during one week my upper body gets hit twice and my lower body once. The next week Lower body twice and upper body once etc......


Is it bad to use supplements so much. I love protein powders. It's so easy to throw in a blender and be done with it.

Why is Natural Peanut Butter better than Low Fat Peanut butter (Had to ask).

I'm thinking of ordering some All the Whey Protein instead of Myoplex and Met-Rx to save some money. What do you think?

Thanks for listening.

if you follow a proper diet and lift weights you will not, I do not do much cardio.
