Dav1d's Journal

Hello,

I have some information and recommendations, and I will be starting my diet to loose fat tissue and general weight.

Current stats

-Aged 16
-Weighing 180 pounds
-Height 5.12 near 6ft


My BMR is 2550

So I will need to take -500 off that MT and eat around 2000-2100 calories a day

I will doing simple long exercises like squats and press-ups, and try and fit as much jogging on the spot, and physical movement as possible until I have a cross trainer (I do best on that and it generally burns calories easier).

Diet plan-

Morning - *7.40, 8.00* (breakfast) - "Crunchy Oat Cereal, Tropical fruits" - Contains banana, raisins, pineapple and papaya (with other random seeds, abit like rabbit food to be honest) But it contains some nice simple carb contents.
This also has oats, which are very good for keeping stomach content until next meal (I think with the expanding oats) And a cup of tea (Its a must, cant live without the stuff) and also a pint of water.
250cal. in total Including skimmed milk with cereal.

Break - *11.00, 11.15* (snack, I can convert into a larger meal) - Bit of chicken with some low in fat mayo, maybe some pasta with it, also white tuna and sweetcorn. A nice mix of protein and carbs. Followed by 250ml's of water.
(I dont know how much that would be, but the box isnt very big at all, should be under the 500-600 cal mark)


Lunch - *12.15, 1.10* (lunch meal) - Brown bread with proper peanut butter (Good bit of fat) an apple, 250mls of water and maybe a nutrigrain bar with fruit inside to add abit more fat. Total 500cals with thin spread of proper peanut butter.

Snack - Peanuts, cup of tea, banana

Last meal of day - *7.00, 8.00* - Some type of meat, usually get given pasta with mints, meats, lasagne... nothing nasty, It is usually the biggest meal to cover the smaller calorie intake during the day.

Now this isnt exactly accurate with the MT line -500cal, but I will experiment with my body, I will take recordings, listen to my bodys signals and change and alter things. I WILL NOT STARVE MYSELF.

I will record my weight at AM before eating meals and give a constent diary of weight in pounds, and also the size in my muscle, if im loosing out on too much protein, i'll change my diet, mix and change it around abit, and keep ontop of myself.

Excersises will be compulsary, everday I will do as much as a can... Jumping jacks, squats, press-ups, crunches...so on.

Tommorrow I will have things bought and stashed away, so I will actually be properly starting on thursday and whenever I feel a change or something has changed, I will come and post back, I wont daily post or I will spam the forums and people will get abit annoyed.

Thanks for reading :) (I posted it now instead of thursday so people can criticize what I have done and I can change before I start)

p.s THANKS CHILLIN, <<< legend at work. (sorry had to be done).

Forgotten - Target !...

Loose enough fat tissue until im satisfied with the result.

just wanted to say, dont feel anyone will be annoyed by you posting everyday.. that's the point of a journal. it will be easier and better to track progress and see what/where needs change.

also, what all do you have access to as far as exercise?
 
Thats a fair problem :S

I dont have anything, apart from the old fashioned excersises using just the surroundings (jogging, running, cylcing, on the spot excersises) I will soon have a cross trainer...

My whole plan is to loose enough fat and then start resistance training.
It just comes with money :p

I will need another good month before I can obtain one.
 
understandable. i just wanted to make sure that you didnt think you shouldnt weight train while losing fat. it can actually speed up the process, but i understand that financially, you may be unable to do so.

Im glad you decided to do a Journal young man!.....!!!!!

Let me check you calculations on your Benedict BMR.....lets see,,,,,,,Uh...just a sec...

With a moderate multiplier (1.33) I come up with: 2751c.
With 1.44: 2978c
With 1.55: 3206c

I suggest begining with the 1.44 or 2978c, and then backing off -500c or 2478c

And, like I told you in the other thread.....WATCH carefully...if you didnt lose tissue, then adjust the caloric content from the BMR.....if you track your calories and watch your body.....it will tell you what is proper and improper.....keep,,,,slightly adjusting until you get it right.

See my previous comment above, but yes this is true.

I will doing simple long exercises like squats and press-ups, and try and fit as much jogging on the spot, and physical movement as possible until I have a cross trainer (I do best on that and it generally burns calories easier).

What type of equipment do you have access too? I would prefer you "get out of the house or building" and jog, and then running on the spot. Or if you wish you could walk and then build up to jogging.

DO you have free wights available?------See my previous posts in your other thread to assist with setting something up.....You will have some questions I am sure.....As to.......What exercises to include on the 3x per week....and I will help you figure this out.

Stay away from Cereal that has refined sugar it them........as much as possible. I eat Chicken and oatmeal (mixed with natty PB) for breakfast *YUMMY*.......

I believe in trying to get ALL three nutrients in one meal if its possible (protein fat and carbs). For example, you could eat oatmeal and a whey shake, and take some flax gels in the am or have Fiber One Cereal, fruit, and a Natty PB sandwich.....as examples for te morning meal.

Get some whey powder, and take some water in a bottle put it in your locker, and you can have a shake at school......hehehe....

Yes devide your meals out, and have them come close to your caloric restriction limit. And, again try to include the big three nutrients if possible.



I will record my weight at AM before eating meals and give a constent diary of weight in pounds, and also the size in my muscle, if im loosing out on too much protein, i'll change my diet, mix and change it around abit, and keep ontop of myself.

GOOD FRAME OF MIND!....YES!.............>Only weigh yourself in the AM......the body will flex a few pounds NORMALLY during the day.....so SAVE this confusion and just do it the AM.....the AM weigh is the more TRUE weigh anway.......

Excersises will be compulsary, everday I will do as much as a can... Jumping jacks, squats, press-ups, crunches...so on.

NO!.....You do not want to do exercises EVERYDAY....Especially if you are including weight training......(read my posts in your other thread!......> :) )

Tommorrow I will have things bought and stashed away, so I will actually be properly starting on thursday and whenever I feel a change or something has changed, I will come and post back, I wont daily post or I will spam the forums and people will get abit annoyed.

Good you are preplanning......... Do post daily........I will stop in and yell at ya!.......ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for reading :) (I posted it now instead of thursday so people can criticize what I have done and I can change before I start)

p.s THANKS CHILLIN, <<< legend at work. (sorry had to be done).

Thank you.......you are welcome.........and



ROCK ON!

Right, thanks for the info... HELPS alot :)

Ok I will modify that tonight, try and get those 3 in :)

Im loosing weight first... then building muscle, but I can do some lifting...

Getting out and about can be hard, being at my age in such a place is hard to do something that is civilised without being spat on by people who like to insult alot :p


Ummmm, next month im getting a 200pound bonus, followed by another 200pound from sales, and since my birthday just passsed, thats another good 120quid.. If anyone can help me fork out a nice bench/barbell kits and cross trainers or any other equipment, please post !! I need some advice I have no knowledge in it.

Dav......listen..........carefully.......

I know you are trying to lose fat tissue......BUT.......when one goes into a deficit diet.......one will lose BOTH muscle and fat tissue......to off set this problem and to tell the body to keep as much muscle as possible......you MUST weight train......

This MUST be included to combat this and GIVE many other personal benefits.

Do I need to pull out the ChillHorn.....(remember the other thread, LOL).

And yell this while hiding under your bed.....and keep you awake for 7 days straight....... Yelling:

"YOU should WEIGHT TRAIN WHILE TRYING TO LOSE FAT TISSUE!"
 
LOUD...AND...CLEAR :rolleyes:


So... Next mission, find some... I take it 60kg kit will do ?.. I'll post up some links off what I think is the right price and does its job properly.


over and out

what is 60kg in pounds....LOL


A standard olympic bench, Olympic long bar, short bar, and dumbells will do...

You can start off (and buy more later) with about 150 to 200lbs (the olympic bar weighs 45lbs approx)

EDIT: If its gonna take at least a month....before you can get weights......then......you can adapt until you get some......and develop something around body weight exercises, etc.

Okay.......ROCK ON!

Obviously this comes with dumbless the bar and you can modify it to whatever...

I think the bench will do you fine. What kind of stores do you have nearby or are you planning to purchase online?

I will look to see on some good cast iron brands. I use Gold's Gym (olympic) Cast iron weights, dumbells, Long bar, and short S bar.

What is your plan---training in the meantime...more specific--I think we need to work on this some........at least until you get your weights.

HEHEHE



ROCK ON!

Hehe, I like it...

Right aswell as doing just the on-spot excerises.
Good news !

Since I turned 16 I can use my dad's membership for the gym...
Very nice gym I have to add.

I can go maybe twice or more a week.

End of the month job time and also payments... so I can probably start now and occupy myself whilst I wait.
 
usually get given pasta with mints

:yelrotflmao: Please say you meant 'mince'

Well done on starting the journal, can I ask why you want to lose weight though? 6' and 180lbs isn't overweight. Is it body composition you're looking to alter?
 
Haha, yes I did...

Dont abuse me for my vocabulary, just because im 16. Hehe, j/ks man.

Ummm.. Well, I think alterations would be nice... But a good portion is crappy fat... I only have it stored on the stomach and hips.. Id like to loose generally fat tissue. Basically shorten the width of my body on a side angle.



Another thing I was going to suggest was that If I dont go on a diet that is supposed to aid my muscles and at the same time do resistance training. I could just go on a calorific deficit... loose muscle.. and when Im comfortable at the end of it, and I have a reasonably good starting base.. then start focusing on regaining that muscle.

suggestions ?
 
Ok, Im screwing that idea.

Going with my own plan.

Ordering -

But I need help on what kg barbell set to buy... I know I need long and S bar with olympics, but what KG?

Bench I got covered to... then we can work on excersises
