Diet Help PLEASE

[booj]

Okay, it about that time again, yep summer is slowly creeping up on us and before you know it will be here. I wanted to loss some Body fat before summer, im looking to lose 6-7 percent...I been cutting hard-core for the past few weeks, but before that I was dieting.
I need some help with my diet....

Meal 1
4 egg whites, spinach, fat free cheese
cup of All Brand Cereal with skim milk
1 cup of coffee with equal and very little milk

Meal 2
Pure Protein Bar

Meal 3
Chicken, Broccoli, and a yam

Meal 4
Same as Meal 3 minus the yam...Sometimes I put the Chicken on mult grain bread...

Meal 5
Chicken or Steak or Tuna with Salad with Balsamic Vingar

Meal 6
Lean Mass Matrix Shake

This is what I eat mostly everyday of the week. I am currently going to school full time and working part time so the bars and shakes are quick and easy. Also Im doing cardio kickboxing 4-5 times a week and doing 1 full body with weights per week...

So PLEASE let me know if I should add something of take it away..

Thanks,

BooJ

[aggies1ut]

Do you just prefer cardio over weights? Why are you only weight training one day a week?

 

[booj]

Well no, i love to lift...im doing some program from my gym...its a pretty intense 1 day of weights...

 

[Jodi]

Why only 1 days of lifting per week.

Get the Low Carb FF milk called Carb Countdown. Regualar skim milk has 12G sugar per cup - too much sugar. Also, add a whole egg here as well

Meal 2
Pure Protein Bar

Ditch the bar - you will be better off carrying more shakes and don't forget some EFA's to go with it.

Meal 3
Chicken, Broccoli, and a yam

Need some EFA's

Meal 4

Looks good

Meal 5
Chicken or Steak or Tuna with Salad with Balsamic Vingar

EFA's, EFA's, EFA's

Meal 6
Lean Mass Matrix Shake

DEFINATELY EFA's

Overall your diet is decent. What are the macros for the day? Why no EFA's?

 

[booj]

I donno why only one day, thats what the guy at the gym wants me to do...something about giving the muscle time to recover...

what kind of EFA's do you suggest? and how often should you take them?

 

[atherjen]

fish oil would be optimal -check the stickies at the top of the forum..great info on EFA's and sources

 

[booj]

ok, so eat a efa with evey meal?

 

[jaim91]

Maybe try bumping up your weight training, but rather than using a high weight, try more reps/ sets. And 3-4 days of light cardio.

 

[Jodi]

You really should lift at least 3x per week. I can't figure out for the life of me why a trainer would tell you to only lift once per week.

 

[jaim91]

Maybe he has a pre-existing condition that makes him prone to injury. But I don't think you'll see a quick successful progression on only 1 day per week, Jodi's right.

 

[booj]

I donno either but I will ask him my only once a week...

But about the efa's take them with each meal?

 

[Jodi]

I try to take EFA's with each meal.

 

[booj]

ok sounds good, I'm going to get some EFA's ASAP, then ill post my new diet...THANKS FOR THE HELP!!!
