I Have A Lot of Weight to Lose

Nutrition

I’ll try to keep this short and sweet…

I’m 5’11" 250 lbs. I don’t know what my body fat percentage is right now, but lets face it, at my current weight I know it’s horrible.I’m a kinesiology major, wanting to enter the field of sports nutrition and exercise science. I do energy systems work two times a week at school. I desperately want to look the part, and lead a long healthy lifestyle as well.

I’ve been lifting regularly since the beginning of the year. My brother is a great powerlifter up in Seattle and he helps me out a great deal with my workouts.
I posted a link if you’d like to check him out!

Last week I started a low carb, high protein nutritional approach.

Here’s a rundown of my diet:
Any comments that would be beneficial to me would be greatly appreciated.

supplementation: 10g fish oil, ZMA, vitamin c, bcaa’s, multi-vitamin
morning: 2 eggs w/ egg whites, bacon
meal 2: 2 hard boiled eggs/celery with natural pb/ or whey protein w/ bcaa’s
lunch: chicken breast w/ green veggies, slice cheese
meal 4: more green veggies/salad/whey protein/eggs OR pb
Dinner: lean meat (1/2 lb.) and green veggies
optional: whey protein

what adjustments can I make?

well…

I am adding up less than 1200 calories depending on how much bacon and PB you are eating.

Have you tried using Fitday.com to log your calories?

I have an Excel Spreadsheet that I use to track my calories and the macronutrient ratios. I do the AD diet which it looks like you are following also.

If you want I can send you the spreadsheet, or like I said, definitely try Fitday.

You might want to vary your protein sources.

Is there a reason you don’t have tuna or any fish or shellfish listed?

try the t-dawg 2.0. it’s a pretty simple layout. 1200/day is pretty much a crash diet for almost anyone. start with a reasonably high amount of calories say bodyweight x15, 1.5g protein/lb, make up the rest with healthy fats and maybe Surge or some kind of whey+simple carbs, and do a carb-up with HEALTHY CARBS (t-dawg in a nutshell) and do the minimum amount of training to create a stimulus so that you have somewhere to go.

Progression whether it be diet and/or training is the only to keep losing fat. DO NOT DO THE VELOCITY RIGHT NOW. i would try add a fiber supplement and more fish oil to increase insulin sensitivity.
