Male, 24, 275 lbs, trying to get in my old shape

[Tom23]

Where should I start? Hm...6 years ago, I was a very, very active basketball player in my high school.

Back then I had this projection of me being fat, and I can't say it's 100% - but I think I was 210, or somewhere near that mark back then.
Then I started driving around, friends, going out, from random diner to the clubs, and my job is computer based too, so I was seating all the time.
On top of that, worst came to worse when I got in this serious relationship, I got extremely lazy.

So I went from 210 in 2004 to 285 this winter. Damn even writing this down makes me feel pathetic and lucky to even be alive.

Anyway, last week I started going to the gym. I have great trainers there and I'm really focused on doing this.

Driving bicycle this winter helped me dropping 10 pounds.

So current stats are;
24 year old

6'2
275


I've just started going to the gym, and I plan on going there 4 times a week (Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri). My trainer recommended me that my daily meals be;


Breakfast (7 AM);
- 6 hard boiled eggs (with one tea spoon of olive oil if I want)
- few (4-5) rice crackers or rusk toasts
- yogurt 0,9% fat

Snack (2 hours after breakfast)
- little bit of almonds, 50-100 grams

12 o'clock meal
- 150g canned tuna (in water)
- few rusk toasts
- salad

Lunch (3-4 PM)
- 250g meat (boiled, lamb, beef...) or 300g of fish (hake, for instance)
- 100g of rice / pasta / polenta / boiled potato
- salad

Snack (3 hours after lunch)
- 250g cottage cheese
- salad

Dinner (10PM)
- 150-200g meat (boiled) or 300g fish
- salad

What do you guys think?



Anyway, my goal is to burn this fat as soon as possible and get ready for summer hoops, if possible.

Also I'm curious about a theory of famous NBA trainer Tim Grover, about "core strength"

I would really like to get in "semi-pro" type of shape. I know 275 sounds fat, and it is, but I know how I looked and what I did few pounds ago, and I wasn't going to the gym at all in those days.

I hope I can make some kind of a comeback, but better.

I'm thankful for any input.

Cheers

 

[Waitwhat?]

Just briefly looking at your diet I might make a few suggestions:

Breakfast (7 AM);
- 6 hard boiled eggs (with one tea spoon of olive oil if I want) The majority of these should be egg whites.
- few (4-5) rice crackers or rusk toasts How about wheat toast instead.-
yogurt 0,9% fat Check to see how much sugar it contains. Try to buy plain yogurt with very low sugar and add your own fruit.

Snack (2 hours after breakfast)
- little bit of almonds, 50-100 grams
Add a carb to this like an apple

12 o'clock meal
- 150g canned tuna (in water)
- few rusk toasts
- salad

Lunch (3-4 PM)
- 250g meat (boiled, lamb, beef...) or 300g of fish (hake, for instance)
- 100g of rice / pasta / polenta / boiled potato I'd stick with brown rice, sweet potato or quinoa.
- salad

Snack (3 hours after lunch)
- 250g cottage cheese
- salad

Dinner (10PM)
- 150-200g meat (boiled) or 300g fish
- salad

What do you guys think?

I guess it's good that you eat a lot of salad but you can try fruit or other vegtables to switch it up. You're on the right track though. Just try to make yourself eat a protein/carb/fat at each and every meal. What type of fitness program does your trainer have you doing?
