What to Eat?

Lukekul

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for some advice on what to eat. I just started going to the the gym 3 weeks ago, in an effort to lose weight. I'm male, 20 years old, 6'7'' and about 18st. My usual day is a chicken sandwich at 11a.m., chicken and ham sandwiches around 1p.m. then a bowl of pasta at 6.30p.m. after the gym with 2 penguin bars thrown in during the day.

The kicker is that I don't eat fish or salad.
Any Suggestions?

All depends on your goals whether it's fat loss or to build muscle.You should eat clean anyway.
5 pieces of fruit or some veg a day for your vitamins
A combination of protein , carbs and healthy fats
PROTEIN - MEET FISH NUTS EGGS
CARBS - BREAD best brown RICE best brown POTATOES best sweet potatoes PASTA brown probably best as well .If your bodybuilding tho white won't kill you if you eat at the right times it will help with gains
FATS - Healthy fats from fish , nuts , eggs etc .Salmon tuna .
Also drink atleast 2 litres of water a day.
If your bodybuilding you could buy some weigh protein

If you want to lose weight ditch the sandwiches for salads, nuts, crackers instead of bread. Chicken is gooood but tuna, salmon or even hard boiled eggs make great sandwich/salad fillers.

You need fruit and veg also. I find spinach to be the most all round veg. Can put it in anything and rarely taste it. (e.g., smoothies, pasta dish, curry)

Ditch the chocolate too....you dont lose weight eating chocolate

If i was in your boat i would concentrate on building some lean muscle.

less sandwiches, NO bars. lots more fruit, veg, porridge, whole grain rice / pasta, meat etc.

defo you should build muscle but I wouldnt advise you to get any heavier than 18st, 6 7" or not ..
