I have decided to try and cut some weight after letting it creep back up to about 240 ish. I have read quite a few of the nutrition articles (JB, etc.) and this is what I have come up with. I don’t supplement at the current time, not that I have any thing against them but student loan payements make money a little tight right now. Anyway, let me know what you guys thinkg. I want to get down the mid-low 230s (so I’m not looking to do anything drastic.)
Meal #1
3 whole eggs
2 pieces of non-buttered toast.
Meal #2
Turkey & Cheese on wheat bread.
Carrotts
Cottage Cheese
Meal #3
peanut butter sandwhich
grapes
Meal #4
whatever is cooked at home. I just try and be smart about it.
Meal #5
cheese with some triscuts
I am currently subsitute teaching so it is tough to find a way to get the mid morning meal in. I try and take some fruit or something to snack on.
As far as lifting, I follow a westside template, which may have to get condensed to two days a week because I am also coaching baseball. I try and get at least one or two cario days a week (db complexes, etc.).
Anyway, let me know what you guys think.
Thats a lot of bread and not a lot of vegetables, but you said you’re on a budget so thats not suprising. I do think you can easily add veggies and cut down on the bread without increasing your food bills.
Make a salad with cabbage, oils, nuts and eggs. Mix peanut butter with yogurt. Melt cheese over broccoli and canned tuna.
Just a few ideas off of what you listed.[/quote]
Drop the PB Sandwich with Tuna instead…Have Turkey Bacon with breakfast for some decent fats that can be burnt off through cardio…no cheese and triscuits…have a salad…brown rice and peanuts for carbs…steak and chicken are a must, even on a budget, chicken is cheap and u can get alot of it…grill a bunch of it and than just heat it up when u need it…if ur at college still no excuse, i use a Foreman grill works great…that diet u thought of is OK but not if ur looking to cut as much weight as u want…definitley needs some work…drop all the carbs…they are bad carbs…brown rice is great and oatmeal as well…have some more veggies such as celery and carrots, both cheap and u can get alot of it…drink green tea throughout the day…fish oils are needed also, they are not too expensive either and u can afford them…and 3 or 4 days of cardio would be much more beneficial for you…hope this gave u some ideas…good luck bro
