ok i wanted to start a journal to keep track of my weight, and to get some ppls opinions on wat i should do to get better on how to take care of my body and how to keep it fit, cause i messed up on some of my threads on weight lifting and i got some good advice's but it was a little hard for me to get wat they were saying untill now, and now i made about 4 routines and i still need some help on them, like wat else i should add or lose, and most importantly i need help wit a diet plan, like wat foods i should eat, anyways ima post some more things here and post the routines i had on my other threads. anyways i got to go eat, lol

oh yea, i was going to ask how many meals should someone eat everyday? i heard it should be 6 small meals everyday but im not sure if its true so someone help, any help would be appreciated!
 
If your wondering what kind of foods to eat:

And why do you have 4 different routines..get rid of the rest and follow the one LV gave you..forget the others..you need to read more articles/stickies.

Please read these articles before you ask any more questions on diet and lifting:

Weight training for newbies part 1
TESTOSTERONE NATION - Training for Newbies, Part 1

These are long but informative articles, but they will answer many of your questions and give you a good base of knowledge.

Congratulations on the Journal.

ight im reading them
so all im supposed to do is eat meals that are healthy for me, like:
breakfast: juice,oat meal,milk,whole wheat
lunch: skin-less chicken breat,milk,juice,rice

dinner:rice,juice,chicken,protein shake

is that good enough? or should it be better?

lol, thnx NBS
 
ok cause theres this milk and cookies flavored protein milk shake that my gym is selling so i can buy that and drink it right?
 
The first thing you need to do is read those links that Phate put up in your journal. Those articles will answer a ton of your questions. Protein shakes are fine to supplement a diet that is lacking in protein. They are not essential, but they are convenient.

As an example, I have lunch at 10:30. At 2:30 I hold soccer practice until 4:30. I found it too hard to try and really eat between getting out of teaching at 2:15, eating, and trying to get practice started at 2:30. So this is where I have a protein shake so I'm not going 6 hours without eating.

You haven't read the articles that Phate put the links up for. Read those before asking anymore questions. LV is a moderator on here who's been here awhile and knows his stuff.

1. If your trying to lose weight, why would you be drinking milk/cookie flavored protein shakes that are high in calories?

2. Have you calculated your BMR yet?

3. Use to enter your foods and watch the calories, pay attention to the calories and nutrients in the nutritional labels of the foods you eat. Stay away from processed food, junk food, soda.

4. Weight train and run. But diet is key.

Now, stop asking questions that were all answered in those 4 links.
Stop expecting us to spoon feed you what to do.

Im done with this thread.

See...we have tried to help you adjust to smarter workouts by providing you with links to articles that will help you tremendously. But you keep wanting it spoon fed to you. If you don't help yourself, no one else is going to want to help you.

The links Phate gave to you and the link for the Westside program would have answered your questions and guided you in the right direction.

Stop being lazy. Read. It's one thing to not understand something and ask questions. But to not do anything to help your understanding and just want people to lead you in the direction is not going to happen.
 
ight i see wat u mean, and ur right i was to lazy to read it, and now i read the first nutrition part thing, and it was mostly talking about the amino acids, and catabolism and anomolism, and carbs.


ok this is wat im going to do now, cause i don't really want to do the bodybuilding thing anymore so:

1. im going to try to make a routine that is good for me (if some of u guys can help that would be great).
2. i want to keep my intakes of cals to about 1.2k
3. lose my man boobs.
4. lose the pot belly (lol)
5. make a diet plan
6. and last but not least: train my but off till i get results (and still keep doing the training, lol)


and wat im guessing is that i can go to the gym mondays,wensdays, and fridays
i also think i should do push-ups,crunch or sit-ups and some runs, at home or the gym (well mostly the running at the gym, and the rest at home)

and im also thinking this would be good meals to eat for me:
breakfast: protein shake,oatmeal,banana,milk
lunch: milk,protein shake, banana (or orange), rice, broccoli,celli, and carrotes,

after training: protein shake

dinner: pasta,skin-less chicken,corn,milk, brocco,celli, and some bananas (or apple, or orange)

so wat u guys think?

P.S(to evo): im still reading the nutrition links that phate posted for me, so don't yell at me if u still think im not reading it, and srry, now im really trying cause i don't want to be fudging fat no more, ight

At 16, 1200 cals is way too low. Have you determined your BMR? If not, do that today.

Once you determine your BMR, set a goal of eating 500 cals less than that OR if you burn at least 500 cals a day (approximately 1 hour of fairly high intensity - constantly breathing hard), you can eat at your BMR. In either case, you will lose about 1 pound of fat / week.

You cannot spot lose fat, e.g., off your chest (man boobs) or your waist. Those will come off as you lower your overall body fat. That said, you can shape your chest by working your pecs and with some quick gains recontour your chest so while the fat is still there, the manboobs are not as noticeable.

Some say you can burn fat from lifting weights alone but I think it is best done when combined with an aerobic / high energy cardio exercise like swimming, running, swimming, elliptical, stationary bike, running stairs, etc.

That's my 2 cents but I'm just a dumb, old, out of shape, slow guy :biggrinsanta:

BTW, I sent you a PM to help you out.
