Im 5 foot 5. 153 Pounds.

@ 7am:
1 cup of oats
1 scoop of whey protein with water
1 slice of wheat bread
1 cup of skim milk (250ml)
---
@10:30AM(at school):
1 scoop of whey protein with water
---
@12:30 NOON:
2 slices of wheat bread
Small salad - lettuce,tomato,cucumber
1 can of Tuna
---
@4PM:
4 Eggs (2 Yolks)
1 scoop of Whey protein with water
---
@7PM:
Fish or chicken breast
Veggies - Carrots, Brocoli etc

Aparrently that is a 40-40-20% diet (Carb-Protein-Fat).

Anyone have any suggestions.

Help appriciated!

what are your aims?

what time is your training?

where is meal before bed?

My aim is to loose my fat, and gain muscle at the same time. I have been doing some research and apparently with a 40% 40% 20% diet you are able to do this. My aim is not to bulk, yet anyway.

I haven't put a meal before bed, i suppose i could fit a scoop with whey protein and water and consider that as a meal?

thanks for the reply.

Hey guys,

thanks for the replies.

Yeh I dont exactly want to eat that diet that I mentioned, but if it will help i'll give it a shot.

With regards to the ketosis diet, yes it works but I was very depressed etc i went on it for 1.5 weeks and lost about 8 pound!

In total it adds up to 115G of protein or so. Ive been told that its 1/2g of protein per LB of body weight so sureley the protein amount there is fine?

Im not making to look this short term, I want to start off with it being challenging and then when I get how i want i'd like to go on say weightwatchers and still take the protein shakes (so im eating partially what I want but maintaining my weight). Reason being I dont want to get big, just want myself to look in shape.

thanks once again for the replies.

drunkenmaster - that you very much for that detailed post

With regards to the diet, i really need to do this before I can bulk like you are saying because I have too much 'fat' around my body for my liking and I really need to shift it before I can lift some weights. Im aiming to do a bit of both - gain muscle and loose weight - ovbiously I wont gain muscle like I would if I was eating mad but I really do need to get rid of the fat.

As for workout im doing - monday/wednesday/friday which I do just the following excercises:

- 8x3 Bicep Curls, using 4.5KG

-10x3 Squats (9KG put on shoulders -4.5kg each side and I do squats.)

-10x2 Barbell Shrug (Traps) 4.5KG

-10x2 Calve Raise (with 9KG on shoulders to make it a bit more intense.)

-20x1 Slow paced situps

-----------------------
I have done the above for the past week, however with eating normal foods. As soon as my whey comes through in Im going to switch to the diet mentioned above - and yes I know it looks boring do you think I reallly want to eat that kind of food? Im doing it because I want to and I have to and if its going to give me the body I want I will be trying my best to stick to it.


Thanks,
G

Im just doing that for now because I dont have my whey - consider it a warm-up .

Of course i'll do more once my whey gets here

In the meantime you can always get your protein from natural sources such as tuna, chicken, and eggs. Don't let a lack of whey stop you training. s7 posted a great beginners routine somewhere, I'll try and find it.
EDIT - Can't find it, search function isn't working

For the past week, how have you felt after training? I only ask because the weights you're using seem on the low side, but I have no idea as to your body composition so it might be an entirely effective workout, or it might be that you need to up the weight.

After training - well I get the feeling that I've done something but personally at the moment I feel that it is doing enough as i dont want to overtrain my muscles.

Not sure if you're talking about this one mate, but I'll post it anyway

Monday (Chest/Shoulder/Triceps)

Flat Bench Press – 3x8 (alternate between BB & DB to start)
Incline Dumbbell Bench – 3x8
Skull Crushers – 3x8 (similar to lying tricep extensions)
Close Grip Bench Press – 3x8
Seated Dumbbell Military Press -3x8
Lateral Dumbbell Raises – 3x8
Calf Raises

Wednesday (Back/Biceps)

Dead lifts – 3x8
Bent Over Barbell Rows – 3x8
Pull ups or Pull Downs, alternate week to week 3x8
Barbell Bicep Curl -3x8
One arm Dumbbell hammer Curls – 3x8
Calf Raises

Friday (Legs/Abs)

Barbell Squats – 3x8
Dumbbell Lunges – 3x8
SLDL - 4 x 8
Calf Raises-4x10

I'd train abs on the 2-3 days in between so if you were training 3 times mon, wed, and fri, abs would be tues, thurs, sat.

I forgot to mention one thing, I cant do any lifting which involves lifting the weight above my head, so stuff like flat bench press i cannot do - as i injured my collar bone a year a go and doctor has said not to.

I dont really have a problem doing them on Monday/Weds/Fri (like the same workouts) the only way i'd do diffrent things on diffrent days would be if it benefitted the growth of the muscles.

I am also just using weights at home for now - gym is £6.50 a pop which is way too much for me anyway! I have a mate that might be selling his weights (he is moving house) so I might be in luck then


thanks for your replies.
