hey everyone im new to the site im a 17 year old male and i weigh 163 pounds. I just decided to get into shape and i started eating healthier and excercising about 2 weeks ago and i lost 7 pounds (i started at 170) i see a little difference in my chest i guess because the fat went down a little bit. My main goal is to lose my gut and my "man boobs" (lol) my goal weight is around 140-145 somewhere in that area. i have 25.5% body fat so im definetly trying to get that down to about 22% or something along those lines. I was wondering if my diet and work out so far will help me.. so far it seems to work seeing as though i lost 7 pounds but i wanna know if it will definetly work off some of this body fat
i dont go to a gym because of my age and i dont really want to go to one honestly so all i really do is i swim everyday for about 30-40 minutes and i do about 40-50 laps give or take. The pool i swim in isnt that big because its just a regular pool at my aunts house it isnt a real small pool but it isnt no olympic size either lol and about every other night i run in my back yard for about 20-25 minutes and i do 300 push ups a day with my feet elevated on a chair or my bed because i was told that will help me lose the man boobs and thats what i wanna lose the MOST and i do about 600 sit ups a day also
my diet varies everyday but i usually eat the same stuff like for breakfest i eat a apple and a plum or sometimes a apple and a mini bagel but today i had a apple and a hard boiled egg then around 2 hours later i eat a nutri-grain bar then a hour later i eat my lunch which is usually a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or a smoothie then 2 hours later for snack i usually drink a smoothie if i didnt have the smoothie for lunch or a lil bit of honey bunches of oates cereal or sometimes some pretzels (no salt and 0g trans fat) and then another 2-3 hours later i have some type of fruit again then about a hour or 2 later my mom makes dinner now this meal i cannot control what i eat because my mom makes it and i have to eat it but she knows im on a diet so she usually makes like some steak and rice with vegetables or a pork chop with vegetables and rice but we're hispanic so sometimes she makes rice and beans with it also. I eat around 6-7 meals a day
i drink nothin but water through out the day also not.. i usually drink about 8 cups a day
sorry for the long post, any help will be appreciated... thanks
