I now have 3 cans of tuna a day equaling 24g of protiene in each one. I have 2 protiene shakes a day with 2 scoops in each shake of wheys protiene. Each scoop has 20g of protiene in it. All of that along with dinner and the odd snack totals aprox 180g protiene a day wich is my body weight. I try and stay away from junk food with only the odd mcdonalds or pizza but that doesn't happen very often anymore. I have lots of carbs such as nectorienes and appls and carrots and potatos and green beens and pears and such. Ontop of thoughs arbs i get the mango and strawberries that i put into my protiene shakes. I try and stay away from white bread and since the 1% milk i drink is like 90% water or w/e (as i'v heard 1% milk is 90% water) and all the fruit wich is obviously made up of mostly water i still ontop of that have a few glasses of water a day. Thoughs are pretty much my eating habits. I'm 6"0 180lbs 18 yrs old at ruffly 14% body fat. I work out at the gym 3 days a week with weight lifting. I also run 5km (3miles) the othere 4 days. My question is, How long will it take me before my abbs become visible and i start to get a cut look about me?

Thnx in advance i'd reallyyyyy appritiate an answer to this !!!
 
:) it's protein :) "how many days will it take for me to reach my goal." thats a funny question cause you forgot to mention what your calorie deficit is to your maintenance so there is no way to know if you would even make progress. otherwise everything looks great.

Running 6mph = 863 calories at 190lbs
Weight Lifting Vigerous Effort 1 hour = 518 cal at 190lbs
Calculating BMR
Adult male: 66 + (6.3 x body weight in lbs.) + (12.9 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age in years)

Me = 18 + (6.3x180) + (12.9x72) - (6.8 x 18)
Me = 18 + 1134 + 928.8 - 122.4 = 1958.4
BMR = 1,958.4 cals needed to be burned.
I go to the gym Mon, Wed, Fri. I run 3 miles (5km), Tues, Thurs, Sat, Sun.
Now Acording to wich is where I got all of this information, If you burn 863 calories in 1 hour from running
6 miles in that hour, thien I would burn 431.5calories takeing under the fact I run 3 miles (5km) in a half an hour. The other 3 days of the week I work out at the gym for aproximaxly 1 hr. I do lift heavy with low reps and i would say that i work at a vigerous effort and so according to the website referd to above, I burn 518 Calories from going to the gym.
I eat aproximatly 180g of Protiene daily (my body weight) wich come from 3 cans of tuna, 2 protiene shakes a few snacks here and there and dinner. I'm not sure how much calories I intake a day so I will just describe what i would have on a average day :
Breakfast = Protiene shake with about 5-6 strawberries/5-10 mango or peach bagged and chopped from store (strawberries though are very fresh). 2-3 glasses of 1% milk put into the shake and 1.5 scoops of Wheys protiene powder. 1 Cereal bowl of Mini Wheets the kind with a very light sugar coading over each one (the white look on one side).
Lunch = A couple of frozen borritos with some meat in theim for protiene and whatever els your average super market re-heat borrito would have in it. Some more fruit such as an apple or pear or perhaps nectoriene. One more Protiene Shake with lunch or soon after it with same ingrediants as one mentioned in "Breakfast".
Dinner = Serving of green beans/ Potato / Carrots (the mini kind, bagged from super market) / 1-2 porkchops. If its not porkchop its usually a chicken breast or a steak.
Besides the meals mentioned above I like to snack. I'll have the odd bit of fruit or bowl of cerial or glass of milk/water perhaps a few popsicles in a day (each with 11g of sugar in theim, its hot over here ;) ).
I can't give you my excact calorie intake per day because I have deranged sleeping patterns anywhere from going to bed between 1-6am and wakeing up anywhere from 12-2pm. I know its not that healthy and I am trying to change it.
This is the most information I can supply and took me awhile to come up with sitting here at 1:08am composing this data so i would REALLY appritiate a response to the best of your knowledge on just how well im doing on eatin along with my previous post on my workout squedual weekly and if i am on the right track and like i said, how long it will take for me to start getting some knowticable abs and that "cut" look.
Thank you so much for reading this !!!! =) Look forward to hearing from you :)!

PS - I weigh 180lbs and the calorie burn rates that i got off HowStuffWorks are for someone who is 190lbs so 10 lbs more thien me but i figured it would be fairly accurate none the less. Best I could do.
 
Calories
3 cans tuna = 574 , 3 scoops whey = 312 ,5 oz Strawberries = 43, 5.8oz mango = 107, 3 cups 1% milk = 310 , bowl of mini wheats = 380, 8oz Beef & Bean Burrito = 575, apple = 74, 3 oz Green Beans = 70, 7 oz potato = 255 , 2 Pork: Fresh, loin, center loin (chops), bone-in, lean & fat, broiled = 725 , Carrots, baby, raw = 5 , Popsicle 1.6 fl oz = 40 grand total = 3470 calories
well according to that you would have a calorie surplus, good thing it is inaccurate to your real diet, because the portains are probably way off. you have an ok diet I would like to see some veggies in the earlyer part of the day. Obviously you know what you could do to improve your diet like replace mini wheats with oats ETC. but overall I would say it looks good and you should see some progress soon or if your still having trouble it will be farly easy to fix. one thing you could do right now is keep a journal of your weight and what ever else you want to add, if you have a caliper BF% what ever. this is to track your progress, if your not loosing weight after a few weeks then some changes need to be made. remember that water weight fluctuates and goes up and down day to day. this is what the pros do although you don't need to be as fickle, your body weight will do just fine. once you are loosing fat you can then see how long it will take. be paitent it's a slow prosses.
 
Yeah that site is CRAZY off. I mean for starters each can of tuna i have has 24g of protiene each ... wich equals 72g a day or w/e not 574 .. lol. But yeah i'll probably replace the cerial soon perhaps try and have veggies. This is ALOT better thien my old diet thats for sure. I really need to change my sleeping patterns though.. thats for sure :S.
 
oh nm ur talking about calories not protiene yea no **** eh wow i didn't catch on to that in ur post. Well still i really doubt i consume anywhere neer that. but aslong as im on a decent diet thats good hah
 
one more thing I forgot to mention about sleep. the important part of sleep is that your getting 8-10 houres and not so much when you go to bed, somtimes I say up too, but I will sleep for 8 full houres.
 
Yeah makes sense. All this thinking of getting to bed ontime lately really is effecting my sleeping patterns even more so because now im starting to realize how important it is and thien I keep myself up thinking "**** i need to sleep ahhhh" while laying there stareing at my ceiling. Gonna go to bed shortly here I had a sleeping pill like 40 min ago I hope it kicks in.......
