I'm 16, about 75kg (180 pounds?) and 6 ft ish.
Currently, I'm training for the army in which I am leaving for around this time next year. But, I am also trying to build a lot of muscle. I've been training for around a year and only recently just started the cardio (running 5x a week).
I'm at school and I work so it's hard to have any decent meals, but I'll quickly try and show you basically what I have in a day.
Breakfast:
8x weetbix w/ lowfat milk
Morning Tea: (school)
Nut bar
Lunch: (school)
Peanut butter + jam (jelly) sandwich
Couple of biscuits
Rice Cracker
Afternoon tea:
2x Wholemeal toast w/ margarine + peanut butter
Tea: (work) (differs sometimes)
Milo energy bar
Steak pie -
Then I come home from work (around 9-ish) do about 30 mins of weights, some sit ups, some crunches etc (I do have a proper program) then go for a run. Then when I get back from my run, I have:
2x Wholemeal toast w/ margarine + peanut butter
Pretty crappy meals right? I'm trying to loose a bit of weight (especially around the stomach) but keep bulking up the muscle.
With school and work , it's pretty hard to have any decent meals I find, but however recently I stopped eating afternoon tea + the toast after my workout and I find I'm losing what ripped I had, and getting flabby. So
1) Should I keep afternoon tea + toast after workout (I'm pretty limited to what I can have)
2) Should I eat before my workout rather than after it?
3) Should I be having the toast dry?
Prolly some stupid questions but really need to get my body into better shape. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
