Hello,
I'm currently 20 years old, 6'0 (183 cm), and weigh 200lbs. I've never had a toned body, and I've never looked really overweight. I've decided to buckle down and do something about my body, because I am not happy with how it looks.
My goal is to come down the 175-180 lb area. To be honest I'm not too concerned with the weight numbers. What I am concerned about is how my body looks, and how healthy I feel. My big problem areas are the love handles and stomach.
First, I want to lose weight, or as the people here say, "Cut". I think this is the first step I want to take as it will get the excess fat off my body (mainly, the stomach and love handles).
Secondly, I want to bulk a little bit. I'm really not bothered with getting huge. I just want some developed muscles and not to have an hour glass figure. But this comes later, right now I am concerned with cutting
So, now you know where I stand and where I want to go. This is where I ask you to help me get there. When cutting, I don't know how much Protein, Carbs, and fat to have, and when to have them. My biggest problem right now is my diet structure. To give you an example of what I am thinking, I'll write down what I ate and did today.
Meal 1 (8:00 am) - 5 Egg Whites with cut Green Pepper and Celery, one slice of ham, two pieces of Rye bread with sugarless jam (Jam = 40 calories, Rye bread = 120 Calories.
Meal 2 (10:30 am) - Energy Bar (300 Calories, 24g Protein, 5g Fat, 39g Carbs)
WORKOUT (10:45 am)
5:00 Row Warmup
3 sets of 10 on Bicep Curl
3 sets of 10 on Lat Pulldown
3 sets of 10 on peck deck
3 sets of 20 sit-ups
30:00 bike ride
Meal 3 (12:30 pm) - Subway sandwhich (6inch turkey sub on wheat bread, onion, pickles, lettuce, green peppers cucumber, mustard and salt and pepper. About 350 calories)
I had to work at 4:00 and had some trouble getting something together. So I didn't eat what I really should have, i.e. chicken breast and veggies, pasta, etc..
Meal 4 (3:00 pm) - All bran cereal (250 calories with 1% milk, 6g protein, 1.5g fat, 47g carbs), 2 picses of Rye bread (120 calories).
Meal 5 (5:30 pm) - Energy Bar (300 Calories, 24g Protein, 5g Fat, 39g Carbs)
I work at a pizza place and am either in my car or on my feet getting things done at the shop. I didn't eat for the rest of the night. From 8:00 when I got off until 10:00 I played badminton at the local club.
My workout will be at the same time everyday. 10:45am – 11:45isham. I am planning on doing lots of cardio, and a cycle of back, upper posterior body, and lower body
I have school from 9:00am – 10:30am, then from 12:30pm – 3:30pm.
If I am working it starts at 4:00pm and ends either between 8pm - 10pm
So, I am here asking for your advice because I am no expert. I have been reading for the past couple days on what I should be doing and this is what I have come up with.
Your advice and comments are appreciated.
Cheers!
