About time I lost a bit!

Ferris_Bueller

Hey lads, any help whatsoever here would be appreciated, because when it comes to diet/weight loss I'm pretty much as clueless as they come! I'm 19 year old male, about 5'10 and weigh about 12 or 12 and a half stone. I've always been on the heavy side even if its not too far above average, in particular around the lower stomach area. Get a fair bit of exercise in every week but intend to up it even more to lose the flab, but my real problem would be my diet.

No point kidding myself, my diet is shocking and definately doesn't do me any favours, the fact that I'm living away during the week (very limited cook!), an EXTREMELY fussy eater and generally eat a lot of carbs fatty foods, a nightmare for most of youse I would imagine! Definately do not get enough of the right vitamins etc into my body either, that is a fact.

I get extremely confused as of what to do regards food, sometimes I wouldn't eat for long periods or wouldn't know whether it's better to not eat or to eat something I know that isn't healthy. I would have no problem eating the same dinner 5 nights a week if needs be,or cutting down on food in general wouldn't be too much of a problem either.

Is there any advice or tips anyone could give me? Can provide more information if that isn't enough, if anyone would be kind enough to help it would be greatly appreciated!

To start off can you list out in as much detail as possible what a typical days calorie intake is like. Count everything, solid and liquid that passes you lips.

i.e no point saying simply you have a "mug of tea" if this includes 1/4 pint of milk and 6 spoons of sugar exaggerated, but I hope you get my point.

As an example, here is a typical day for me

05:20 Breakfast
20g Oats, 3 Almond nuts, 4 hazel nuts, 4 brazil nuts, 4 half walnuts, table spn of mixed seeds, 6 grapes, 6 raspberries, 6 blackberries, 3 strawberries, table spn blueberries with 200ml skimmed milk.
200ml Cranberry Juice
1 Mug green tea

Supplements: 1 multi vit, 4 fish oil caps, 1 Mega Cissus, 2 Glucosamine & Chondritin (for Joints), 2 tea spns of Coconut Oil & 1 tea spn of Manuka Honey

09:00 At desk in work
2 scoops ON Protein, 5g Creatine 5g L-Glutamine, 300ml skimmed milk
2 generous tea spns of Peanut Butter
1/2 Banana
1 mug green tea

13:00Lunch
Today will be 2 5oz chicken breasts, 350g Ratatouille (homemade)
1 mug green tea.

16:00 At desk in work
150g homemade Cottage Cheese and mixed berries mix.
1/2 Banana
2 tea spns of Coconut Oil

Workout between 18:00-19:30
Tonight will be a SS type Compound lifts routine

19:35 Post workout shake
2 scoops of ON Protein, 1.5 scoops of Glucose, 5g Creatine, 5g L-Glutamine, 400ml ice cold water.

20:15 ish Dinner
Tonight I will have 7oz fillet steak, 4 soft boiled eggs scooped out of their shell and mashed up with a knob of butter, and a fairly large salad (mixed leaves, mixed peppers, red onions, spring onions, grated carrot, 1 table spn cashew nuts, 6 cherry tomatoes with a balsamic vinegarette
1 Mug green tea, 2 squares of 90% dark chocolate (my treat on lifting days ) & 1 tea spn of manuka Honey

I would also get through another 3-4 liters of fluids throughout the day.
