advice - Saturday, February 18, 2006 3:04 AM ( #1 )
am brand new to this forum so bear with me
i have been back training again now for about 7 weeks and i am doing not to bad my strength is getting better (current bench press is up to 110kgs happy with that i think as 7 weeks ago i was struggling at 80kgs) but wat i would like is some advice on my diet.
when i started back training i cut out crisps and choc i never really drunk pop anyway so it wasnt a problem i used to eat a couple of packs of crisps per day and the same for the choc but the problem is am still putting on weight my question is how do i loss weight but keep my strength?
a typical day i would have:

6:30am breakfast:a cupful of porridge with a drizzle of honey with a protein shake (23gr of protein) 5gr of glutamine and 5 gr of creatine then a banana on the way to work

9ish am i have an apple and a couple of oranges cause am always hungry at this time

10:00am 3 wheatbix a drizzle of honey with half a pint of semi skim milk and a banana

1:15pm 2 sarnies with wholemeal bread usually tuna or chicken a yogurt and a couple of oranges and an apple

5:30pm potatoes (3/4 med sized) with 4 slices of lean bacon and boiled cabbage

6:00pm protein shake 5gr glutamine 5gr creatine

10:00pm protein shake 5gr of creatine

wat am i doing wrong i think i maybe eat too much fruit in a day but i feel hungry all the time so wat can i eat and i drink about 2/3 pints of water a day
i am 25 i am 5foot 8 and am around the 14 stone mark always in and out a couple of pounds but 7 weeks ago i was 13 and a half stone
i dont do any cardio as yet but i am planing to v soon am only at the gym 2 nights a week at the min cause i have no time
night 1 is bis tris traps and legs
night 2 is chest shoulders and back
its not a great routine but its all i can muster at present but i am getting good gains from it my arms are now 16 inches and my chest is 46
could some1 give me any kinda help some how cause i know am doing something wrong thanks in advance

You said that you are looking into starting cardio, i think that would make a big difference. I am pretty much in the same boat as you, im 29 and have been working out for about seven weeks. I am on suplements and am happy with the gains i am achieving with muscle mass. The only thing that i am having an issue with is my gutt. I have just started hetting into doing a lot more cardio exercies on my no weight training days and am thinking that if i burn a lot of calories this way.  good luck

think your right mate i think plenty of cardio and eating clean is the answer although they are the hardest things to do in my opinion

Cardio is a question, do you do it and how much but I would maybe do the below:

ORIGINAL: deebam
6:30am breakfast:a cupful of porridge with a drizzle of honey with a protein shake (23gr of protein) 5gr of glutamine and 5 gr of creatine then a banana on the way to work

9ish am i have an apple and a couple of oranges cause am always hungry at this time replace this with a shake

10:00am 3 wheatbix a drizzle of honey with half a pint of semi skim milk and a banana I would opt for a sweet potato or some brown rice with veggies instead.

1:15pm 2 sarnies with wholemeal bread usually tuna or chicken a yogurt and a couple of oranges and an apple I would drop the fruit here too..instead have veggies, broccolie, green beans, salad greens.

5:30pm potatoes (3/4 med sized) with 4 slices of lean bacon and boiled cabbage not bad but keep potato to a 3/4 or a cup portion.

6:00pm protein shake 5gr glutamine 5gr creatine

10:00pm protein shake 5gr of creatine

wat am i doing wrong i think i maybe eat too much fruit in a day
Yes decrease that, use shakes and veggies..... but i feel hungry all the time so wat can i eat and i drink about 2/3 pints of water a day
i am 25 i am 5foot 8 and am around the 14 stone mark always in and out a couple of pounds but 7 weeks ago i was 13 and a half stone
i dont do any cardio as yet but i am planing to v soon am only at the gym 2 nights a week at the min cause i have no time
