Hi.
Over the past few weeks (3 to be precise) I've managed to drop about 7 pounds, and I'm good with that but I'd also like some help on nutrition and calorie intake.
I work out/train around 13-15 hours a week, this includes anything from running to muscle faliure exercise to targeted muscle group lifting to basketball. On average I'll cover 3-6 miles per week, not including the 20 minutes per day (with 1 rest day on Sunday) I put on the wierd stair stepper/elliptical combination thingy. So, all in all, I'd say I'm pretty active.
I'm 5'9" and weigh in at 208 pounds (Target weight is 175), I eat 3 meals a day. This is generally how they go:
Breakfast: Eggs, meat, fruit, dairy.
Lunch: Meat, a salad, and some grains.
Dinner: Meat and vegetables/salad.
I've cut sodas out of my diet, to about 2 a week at the maximum. Usually I just drink juices and water, with the occasional Red Bull to get me going in the morning. I do take a creatine supplement (NOX-CG) and right now I'm still in the first loading phase. I'll also eat a protien bar before a good workout.
All in all I'm seeing positive results at a fairly decent pace, not too quick but definite improvements in cardio endurance, weight lifting, even alertness. I'm just mining the combined mental database here to see if there's anything I could do that would facilitate weight loss or cardio health, whether it be calorie intake, something in my diet, or anything else. I just feel like I may be missing out in an important key.
