Hello, i recently signed up for this great board, and i have aquired lots of information to help me setup this plan.

Stats:
21 years old
5'10"
200lbs
~20% body fat

DIET:
I am doing 3 meals a day. I know almost everyone recommends 6 meals a day every 2 hours, but i dont want to do that i think it would make it much harder on me.

breakfast: Post Workout protein shake shake MyoPlex 55g protein and 1 cup soy milk + 2 cubes of ice ~360 cals

lunch: whatever lean grilled meat is available to me. usually chicken breast or lean cut steak + 1 cup of rice and a salad with vinegar + oil dressing. ~600 cals

dinner: lean meat again but this time with a large salad serving instead of rice. I try not to eat carbs before sleep. ~ 300 cals

in between these meals if i feel hungry i eat an apple or whatever other fruit i have available.

I used to drink diet coke, but i cut it out after reading an article on Aspartame on this forum, and now drink water and an occassional cup of cranberry or orange juice.

WORKOUT:
I am basing alot of this on the Body For Life book.
i go to the gym 6 times a week Mon-Saturday first thing in the morning FASTED, and on Sunday is my cheat/rest day.

Day1: upper body (chest, shoulders, back, biceps, triceps)

Day2: Treadmill doing HIIT. speed walk @ 3.5mph for 2 mins, jog @ 7mph for 1 min x6, with 5 min warm up and 5 min cool down takes about 30 minutes.

Day3: Lower body (quads, hamstrings/gluteus, calves, abs, obliques)

Day 4: Treadmill.. same thing as day2

repeat this pattern till sunday which is my cheat/rest day.

so far i have done 1 and 1/2 weeks of this, and i feel good about it. but i am not seeing immediate weight loss results, it still seems like i am the same weight. but this is probably because i am gaining muscle due to the large amount of protein i take in.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks!

EDIT: BTW my goal is to tone up and lose some body fat.
 
you need eat 3 times as much as that even for fat loss...how do you suppose you'll maintain any muscle without food?...wts provide the stimulation for muscle growth and food delivers it...have protein before training not doing it fasted , worse thing you can do with limited calories already...large amount of protein? you kidding me...most eeole here would have protein at least 5 times a day and still wouldn't say they're having a surplus

"...DIET:

you say before that you've learned so much yet you don't want to do what you've learnt

simple plan

* pm meals to be protein and fruit
* am meals to be proetin and veg adding fats the leater you get in the day
* as much water as you can
* at least 5 meals a day with 7 being optimal for muscle gain or fat loss
* drop to 3 x wts and 2 x cardio sessions a week (with 6 sessions how do you progress? drop your dismal calorie count some more?)
* never train fasted...EVER!!!!
 
in addition, Body for LIFE did a great job on stripping lean muscle mass from me, along with the fat, when i followed it.
sure I got skinny, but I lost muscle mass, which meant by the time I finished, my daily caloric needs were lower than when I started!

that's what we call Bass Ackwards around here.

you'll get sub-optimal results on 3 meals a day, period. really poor results if you don't get enough food in those 3 meals as Swans points out.

work out as hard as you want, but if your diet ain't up to snuff, yer just farting with a walkman on.
