Hi guys, I am doing a 5 week program to lose fat. I will post before and after pictures. I will also write regular accounts of my day ect.
This is the diet plan so far.
I am aiming for:
500calories 38g protein
13g carbs 33g fat
PER MEAL
I will eat these 4 times a day.
I will be including workout sessions, but since I am new and do not have access to a gym they will be bodyweight exercises, i.e pullups/crunches/pushups/leg raises
I will do short reps with long rests and lots of sets each day.
If anyone has any help or comments I would be very gratefull,
thanks.
You calories, at 1500, seem quite low. Maybe add a 5th meal, with the same amount of calories. Remember, going too low will mean muscle loss, while staying a few hundred calories below maintenance + exercise will work better.
Try eating something like cottage cheese as your last meal, as this will sustain your body longer throughout the night than other proteins.
What the hell are you guys talking about? Didnt you say you were going to be eating 500 calories 6 times a day? I am wondering how heavy you are how active you are and if you know your bodyfat% because that is quite alot of calories…
He originally had his post saying 1500 calories in 4 meals a day, then he must’ve edited it.
Why he doubled it I dunno, because that’s not what I suggested. I believe he weighs 180lbs, as he said in another thread.
OP, work out your maintenance calories, and drop it by 200 calories every 1-2 weeks until you are losing about 1-2lbs a week, depending on how overweight you are.
Then again, chances are you probably don’t need to lose fat, just build muscle with a slow bulk.
Sorry, I edited wrong.
I’ll be eating around 2000 calories a day (500 less than recommended for my age). If anyone has a caluclator for calorie intake that works of age, height and weight, that would be great.
Thanks.
