Looking for help/advice

Hey,
 I'm just getting started back at the gym after a long lay-off. I'm looking for nutritional and training advice. I work out with my husband ...but....being the classic ectomorph....he's in a terminal bulking phase and eats everything and anything he can get his hands on. Also his training would be different from mine as he has different goals. I am currently weighing 149 at a height of 5'3" . Obviously I need to lose weight.
I have been eating aprox. 4-5 times a day, lots of salad,tuna,chicken and beef as well as one serving of fruit.
 
I do about 25 minutes of cardio (recumbant bike) everyday.
 
my weight training is
day1         chest triceps
day2        shoulders
day3         Legs
day4         back biceps
 
I also train abs 3 times a week
 
Any advice you can give me towards my nutrition/training ..will be of great help.
 
thanx
Cathy

Move shoulders to day 1 and put a cardio day in between:
Chest/Shoulders/Triceps
Cardio
Legs
Cardio
Back/Biceps

Make sure you get your good fats throughout the day, and they should make up a third of your dietary calories.  Your body will not burn fat if it feels that none is coming in.  Try a ratio of 30 carbs to 40 protein to 30 fats (good).

Are you sure about this? I was under the impression that Dietary fat   and    Bodyfat were two different things altogether.Can dietary fat turn into bodyfat? I was told it was impossible.
 
Point taken on keeping good fats in my diet
 
 
Thanks for your help alot

Hi,
I posted in your other post.
Good fats are essential, Udos oil, almonds, olives and avacados, of course in moderation.
Check out my jump start program I posted a few days ago, may help with some ideas.
Also I check out your other similar thread for my cardio/weights comments.

Thanks optimum.  Udos is just my fave version of a great EFA, essential fatty acids.  It has omegas and are all natural and vegan.  I also don't mind the taste of it so I use it in my shakes, salads and on top foods....it is not to cook with.
