misunderstood me. I was not saying in any way to eat ONLY 1500 calories, just saying with only 1500 you could meet your daily RDIS. The average male consumes a lot more than that though, so there is no reason that you shouldn't be able to include everything you need in your diet on a day to day basis and still leave room for your protein shake and whatever else you wanted. I personally probably take in 3000 calories over 5 meals and a dessert at only 155LBS(70kg). The bottom line was that your diet isn't nearly as nutrient-dense as it should be.
The only meat I see in this diet is a little bit of chicken twice a day. I would ditch the protein shakes, and replace it with some good ol london broil. To me, protein shakes are like "here take your food pill". I never liked em.
It's a good start. I would integrate a bigger variety of health food to keep you motivated. That is key.
Mr Small could PM me a diet to lose bodyfat, im a professional boxer currently weighing about 80 kgs, need to get back down to 69kgs, im terrible with dieting just need some guidance with diet and what training will help with this specific goal, thanks.
If you are not a free weight squatting low enough, then you are not flexible or have poor mobility, to determine whats wrong, it's working as it's a very basic movement! I see people doing exercise, you describe, they have arthritis or severe knee dysfunction, only in this sport aircraft now!
I don't know anybody who can eat the exact same thing day in and day out anyway. Keep your cardio, weights and Plyo's on different days if you want better results and to avoid burnout/boredom
you will give yourself several vitamin and mineral deficiencies with that diet. too big to correct with supplements unless you want to make a meal out of pills. way less carbs, more fat and WAY more red meat, fish, fruit and vegetables. protein shakes are basically junk food unless you are a bodybuilder or power lifter and need more protein than you can get from real food. a piece of steak or fish has lots of vitamins and minerals and healthy fats in it that a shake does not. you should also try to eat lots of green stuff like spinach and broccoli. here is a rough draft of a healthier diet breakfast: 2-3 pieces of fruit and 3 eggs. snack: spinach salad lunch: piece of fish and vegetables pre workout: a serving of "white" carbs like rice or potato post workout: can of tuna dinner: steak, salad, veggies and a serving of "slow" carbs like beans or lentils or chickpeas. cheap steak, frozen salmon and canned tuna > protein shakes.
agreed because a breakfast should always have less carbs then dinner. And post workout wheres the carbs? Thanks for the post but if you dont really have an idea on what your talking about its pointless
So basically, you don't want him having any type of energy at all until he eats a twinkie at 2:00 pm.atsch
I don't get the hatred for protein shakes. They are what they are, nothing more nothing less. If somebody feels they need a bit more protein in their diet have a protein shake. Not a big deal. That's just dumb.
I dont agree with the fasted cardio if the goal is cardiovascular conditioning. You cant push yourself as hard fasted. You will get better results doing it after you have eaten.
