1.5 grams of protein x Your Bodyweight = Your daily protein.

Lose the pasta in spaghetti unless it's wheat pasta that will make your blood sugar rise then of course you will gain fat.

White pasta / bread = I avoid.

Thanks I usually avoid white pasta or breads, and usually I make my own pasta.

Thanks for the input I'll try to avoid in general

First of all, what are your stats and overall goals

I wanted input on my diet as I am trying to develope a better body.

Morning
1.5 cup of vector and .5 cup of bran buds. 1 cup orange juice. Vitamin ( fish oil and glucosamine)

What is vector? Skip the OJ. Have a fresh piece of fruit instead.

Snack
Protein powder shake

What is in that shake?

Lunch
Tuna or Peanut butter and jam sandwich. Multi Vitamin fish oil and glucosamine.

You need more protein than what PB&J has to offer. Stick wih the tuna. What kind of bread are you eating?
Snack
Protein powder, Greens+, TBSp Mixed Nuts, TBSP Flax seed, .5 cup Mixed berries, green tea.
Too much fat in one sitting. Nix the nuts.

Dinner,
Variety of things either a stir fry or stew or Spaghetti, MEdium sized portion.
any input?
I hope that is wheat, spelt or muti-grain pasta.

I don't think you have enough protein and your carb choices are poor. You should think about oats, sweet potatoes, brown rice, better grains. I would need more detail on your diet than what you specified to help.

Vector is some cereal by Kellogg's.... They promote extra protein (soy protein) which has really an insignificant amount. I would find another breakfast alternative.

Thanks Jodi

I have been training for about 12 weeks now and lost just over 15lbs. My goal was generalally just to look better, Even though I am happy with the weight loss I need to develope my body better. I am off to florida for vacation at the end of the week so for the next few weeks I will be running and focusing on fat loss. When I get back Dec. 29 I plan to get real serious on shaping up. I think I will cut the cardio and work on building muscle for a few months then cut, I am just trying to figure out the correct game plan for when I get back. I need to learn how long I should and what I should eat for building and the same for fat loss. I guess I have a guestion lots of people do should I kill the fat first or build the muscle first, since I can't do both at the same time,\. I have a picture in the new members forum that will give you a better idea of my body.

Here is the answer to your questions

Vector is a cereal from kellogs - I think I will switch it for eggs and oats or red river.

My first shake is just a protein powder shake nothing more.

I always eat multi-grain bread never white.

Should I add the nuts to the morning shake?

Yes I use a wheat pasta and I do my best to make it myself rather then buy the dried stuff.

I have already started adding my protein in my diet. just need more suggestions.

I don't know what else to say about my diet I eat small portions. mostly lean meats 5 meals a day. I never eat Whites usually multi grain. I do have a sweet tooth but have been pretty good at not indulging it. So no sweets once in awile maybe once in 2 weeks I will have something small.

Thank you so much for any input!!! I am trying desperately to have a gameplan for when I get back I'm feeling alittile lost. I feel there is so many conflicting opinions. I do work really hard and always keep on track when I have a plan. I just don't want to do something and not get results.

I have posted my picture and some info about me in the new members forum that might give you some more info.

Thanks again
