Hi guys, I am turning 24 this year during my life I never paid any attention at all to nutrition or health in general because I didn’t have much interest. I want to make baby steps and fully understand about nutrition and gym workout within 3 months, so I can get rid of my insecurities i have in this area.
Little about my past, I have trained before for a year or so but didn’t get much success except I lost 2 inches about 8 kilos worth of fat but didn’t gain much physical muscular muscle.
Here is my current status: I am 174cm, 88 kilos (lost 5 kilos) in little over 2 months.
My current goals – I am looking to lose bodyfat in my stomach and reshape my body into a muscular one. I am attending the gym 4 to 5 days a week with 3 day weights/cardio (2 hour) and 1 or 2 day cardio (1 hour). I was on Ultimate Nutrition Diet pills, but since yesterday I got recommended to take Iso Sensation – Ultimate Nutrition whey protein instead to tone up my body fat. I don’t have a diet plan, and I urgently need one (I read I need to take 5 small meals a day) I only take 3 big meals a day and sometimes I only take 2. I need a general diet plan so I can have something to stick to.
This is my usual daily intake, breakfast – I eat white bread with jam and peanut butter with milk, lunch – I eat wholemeal bread with chicken, lettuce, tomato, cheese with fruit or a steak sandwhich if I am not at school I eat whatever I get served usually soup with kimchi or other Korean stuff, dinner I eat whatever I get served or dine out with my gilrlfriend usually a pasta or steakhouse. I also plan to take whey protein at 7 or 8pm. I sleep 5 to 6 hours daily.
I never took in control of what I eat as you can see, I have no idea to be honest and don’t know what protein and carbohydrate is to make matters worse, and don’t know how much calories I consume.
On a good note, I have reduced my drinking by more than half since day 1 of training and smoking I have quit from yesterday using patches and i will keep to it so i can feel healthier not just look healthier, I cut out my junk food binge (but I still consume junk food casually e.g. once every 4 days or so) I am a moderately committed type who needs to achieve things within a certain time period or at least progress if not I will lose motivation and get demotivated,
Please help a poor sod out… and recommend me what I should do!!!
