Okay, i know i joined a while ago but i really wanted to do some of my own work before i asked for any basic advice. As a prelude i've read all of the information provided in the sticky's and have spent my time just trolling and reading old and new posts.
This is my current situation -
Weight: 80kg (176lbs)
Height: 5ft 10.5'
Goals: To improve both my weight and body shape, also to improve my core for posture (i lean over cause i use computers alot) and to feel more energetic
BMR Info:
Weight: 81kg
Height: 5ft 10inches
Age: 19
Level: Moderate (3-5 days)
Total Daily: (3000)
Calories @ 20% (2400)
This is my BMR information (this is @ as you can see Moderate Activity) - I currently run at 20% (2400 calories)
I have an A and B workout plan for the gym (A - upper body) (B - lower body) and i do this alternating throughout the week with 25mins of cardio after each workout
Monday - A + 25min cardio
Tuesday - B + 25min cardio
Wesnesday - A + 25min cardio
Thursday - B + 25min cardio
Friday - A + 25min cardio
Saturday - Work
Sunday - Rest
Also about 3 times a week i will go for a random walk of about (~30-60mins)
I've been doing my gym for now 3 weeks and my healthy eating for 4 weeks ~
A normal eating day:
Breakfast - Super awesome wholegrain toasted cereal with fruit bits (100g)
- 100ml of low fat milk
Snack 1 - Apple (green) large
- Small yoghurt (99% fat free)
Lunch - Wholegrain bread sandwhich (2 x piece of bred)
- Turkey, Tomatoe, 1 x slice cheese, ham
- Apple (green) large
- Fruit drink fresh (juicer)(watermelon, apple, pineapple, carrot, celery, orange)
Snack 2 - Apple (green) large
- (actually i dont really eat much here, now i think about it)
Dinner - Whatever is made (in moderation) a smaller serv to what i normally would eat, i focus on eating the rest of the veggies and not having too many carbs, i eat alot of meat also
I have not drunk coke or soda drink (only water about [1-2L]) for the last month, i don't eat take-a-way and if i do it's subway and it's a wrap with no cheese low fat and less than 400 calories
Okay, from this i think i have the problem of not eating enough through the day i think i maybe shying from my 2400 cal per day limit and cause i work out and cardio i'm probley falling very short. I kinda feel hungry alot more than often is this normal?
I understand this is a slow progress but when can i see some kinda of result i have dropped from 83kg to 80.5 in those 4/4-1/2 weeks. So this is noticeable also with this weight loss will i loose any chance of getting muscle formation?
Also: (edit) should i bother with protein shakes or bars?? i have protein at home but don't use it
My legs are toning nice but will my arms suffer?
Thanks in advanced,
