Hi,

Can fellow members please critique my workout and diet, and provide help.

Stats
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Weight: 242 Ibs
Height: 5’ 10’’

Workout (every 2 days)
60 minutes interval cardio (treadmill, rowing, cross trainer and cycling)
30 minutes weights (non-free weights) using all the ‘machines’. (10x3 each)

Diet
AM Protein shake (‘diet’ version), porridge (oatmeal)
Lunch Salad pot (boiled eggs, butter beans, pasta, green beans, cucumbers and cherry tomatoes.

Dinner Grilled Tuna or Chicken with steamed veg
Evening Protein shake

Obviously I need to improve something to lose more fat.
 
I'd switch to free weights instead of machines. I find I get a better workout that way. That being said, I don't know if there is a specific reason that you are choosing machines over free weights so that may not be good advice.
 
I love Kettlebelling for strength, cardio and functional strength. Workouts can be intense and burn major calories.

Thank you.

I will be switching in a couple of months time. I just don't feel 'ready' to go onto those for now (nothing health related).

How about diet, is there improvements I can make?
 
Diet info other than the Canadian food guide is outside of my scope of practice so I don't really feel comfortable making suggestions. Lol! Is there something similar to a food guide in the UK? I know the government guides aren't perfect, but they are a good start.
 
hey guys, sorry to thread hijack, but im new and need help with the forum. whenever i try to post a new thread, the text box for the message flashes and then immediately disappears a second after the page loads. The title text box is still there, but it wont let me post anything without message content. same thing happens if i try to private message. the quick reply is still here obviously, so I can only reply. does anyone know what the heck is happening and how to fix it?
