Hello everyone to the advice off my first post I am here to tell you about my daily intake and excercise. I am 6'4 and currently 248. I was just taking in 1500 calories a day. The foods usually ranged but for the most part here is my routine.
I wake up at 4:30am and the first thing I do it stretch out. After wards I do 100 crunches (I use the ab roller because of the neck support.) Then I proceed to go outside and jog for about a mile and a half. That takes me about 15-20 minutes. I brisk walk the last couple hundred feet just to settle down. I then go back inside and go another 100 crunches. I then stretch again and afterwards I grab a drink to take my vitamin. I don't take any weigh loss pills (IE Trim Spa or Stacker 2) I wanted to do it naturally. I don't eat breakfast usually. Sometimes I might eat a banana. I go to work and I just drink a lot of fluid. I don't drink anything carbonated what so ever. I stopped that about a year or so ago and just drank sports drinks all the time. Until I realized how much sugar I was taking in. Now I only drink Crystal Light because it has taste and there was next to no calories. I do occasionally drink just plain water but only after working out. For lunch I do 1 of 2 things. I either eat 3 PLAIN McChicken sandwiches from McDonalds which was advertised around 325-350 calories a piece (With Lettuce/Mayo) So I figured it would be around 300 plain. So that puts me at 900 calories. Or I wait til I get home and eat a Hungry Man XXL dinner which is like a pound and a half of food and the calories are around 800-850. I do get pretty full no matter which option I choose. I eat lunch between 11-1. For dinner which I try to eat before 7 if im hungry is usually do a Progresso Chicken Noodle Soup which is 200 calories. Sometime I eat a Weight Watchers cookies and cream ice cream bar which is 150 calories I think. So now writing this out I am a few hundred calories under 1500. I am not starving myself because I am pretty full when I eat. Recently (meaning today) I started doing an afternoon workout. Which consisted of jumping jacks, pushups, curls, and crunches.
I realize my goal of 225-230 by May 10th might be out of reach but Id be happy with 10lbs less putting me around 235. I have been 248-249 for past 3 weeks. So any advice would be much appreciated. Don't worry I have thick skin. So let me have it
Regards,
Charlie
