How's my training/diet?

    Hi all,

    Sorry for adding to the seemingly hundreds of "how is my diet" threads in the forum but would really like some advice on my training and diet.

    I'm 29 years old, 6'2" in height and weigh 19 stone/120 kg. I've never really done much exercise bar 5 a side once a week but tbh i haven't done any exercise in 2-3 years so in pretty bad shape. Quit smoking 30 a day just over 6 months ago.

    I started following the program from a book i was given but wondered if some of you could possibly give me advice incase i'm making mistakes early in a programme. My primary goal is weightloss.




    Typical day goes

    Workout first thing in the morning

    Breakfast

    Scrambled eggs (made from 3 egg whites, 1 whole egg, dash of skimmed milk) on top of 2 Ryvita wholegrain crackers.

    Lunch

    Chicken/Turkey breast with steamed broccoli and carrots and a teaspoon of cranberry sauce.

    Early Afternoon

    True MRP Meal replacement shake

    Dinner

    Steamed Tuna/Salmon steak with sweetcorn, peas and a tea spoon of light mayo or jalapeno relish.

    Evening

    Another meal replacement shake.

    Night Snack

    1/2 small tub of cottage cheese with blueberries

    I know the MRP's really aren't ideal but i struggle to get alot of good quality meals into me throughout the day.

    My workouts go like

    Day 1

    Upper body

    Day 2

    20 mins hiit on cross trainer

    Day 3

    Lower Body

    Day 4

    Hiit

    Day 5

    Upper Body

    Day 6

    Hiit

    Day 7

    Rest

    and then reverse the next week and so on.



    Workouts consist of

    Upper

    Chest
    Dumbell inc bench Press
    Dumbell flyes

    Shoulders
    Seated dumbell press
    Side raises

    Back
    Dumbell pullovers
    1 arm dumbell rows

    Triceps
    Bench dips

    Biceps
    Hammer curls

    Lower

    Quads
    Squats

    Hammys
    Dumbell lunge

    Calves
    Seated calf raise

    Abs
    Crunches


    Would i be better doing a 3 days on/1 day off split instead of the current 6 on/ 1 off?

    Any advice, tips or criticism greatly appreciated. Thanks.
