    Hey, continue from this thread with more information. http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055523032&highlight=loss


    I'm currently looking to lose some fat around my stomach as it all goes there. My diet is as follows

    Morning: Porridge/flavans crunchy oats and a bannanaanana if I am working out that morning.

    Snacks: peanut butter/turkey sandwich/eggs/protein shake

    Lunch: egg's(scrambled or boilded)/Tuna sandwich with salad/omelet(can include tuna, ham, cheese, tomatos and onion)

    Snacks: peanut butter/turkey sandwich/eggs

    Dinner: omelet, steak or chicken

    Bedtime: Protein shake/eggs/tuna sandwhich

    I obviously rotate all of that depending on what I am in the mood for. I never have any white bread but I'm probaly still having to much brown if any has any good snack ideas that dont include breads. I've scrapped the take-aways and I drink usually twice a week(beer)

    2 things I could with:
    - more fruit, oranges and apples are probaly best?
    - Lack of nuts, apart from peanut butter I dont eat anything else, good recmmendations since I'm trying to lose fat it's quite important no doubt.

    Gym Routine 3 times a week:
    Bench press 5x5
    Shoulder press/Front squat/clean and jerk 5x5
    Deadlift 5x5
    Dips - as many as possible

    5x5 on the deadlift to much? I read 1x5 is best but I'm wondering what should the jump from warms to the first 1x5 set be?

    I could do with some specific core excercises, apart from leg raises and sit up I dont know any, is there a good website or even a book on it? Would doing specific core work on my rest days be a bad idea?

    I've started running recently so I'm not very good at it. I usually try aim for 4km's on the days I workout usually I do .2km at 5km/h then .3km at speeds ranging from 9km/h-13km/h - would this be fine?


    All commets, criticism and abuse welcome.

    seems to me like you're eating a tonne of food. Snacks? How often are you having these snacks? How much do you weigh as it is? How big are the portions? How many calories do you think you're taking in on a normal day?

    I'd usually have 6 meals a day, one meal into breakfest and lunch then one between lunch and dinner.(snacks is probaly a bad word for them). Portion wise it'd just be a toasted tuna sandwich or two slices of toast with peanut butter or a boild egg on a slice of toast. I weigh 80kg and I'm 5'7. Calorie wise I'm not to sure as I haven't run it through fitday yet.
