Advice on my Plan

    Male
    28
    170lbs
    5'10"
    Body fat i'd estimate at a little over 20% (big belly look normal otherwise)

    Just getting back into shape again and wanted to check my plan and get some advice.

    My body shape tends to send all the fat to my belly so my ultimate goal is to cut my overall body fat to bring that down then add some muscle mass.

    Current plan is starting strength 3 days a week and squash for an hour once a week. I'd have a few km's of walking and around 2 hours of cycling from my commute in there also.

    Diet I know is not ideal nutritionally but would like to find out if it would be sufficient to lose a few lbs.

    Breakfast:
    3 plain Weetabix with skimmed milk plus a glass of milk.

    11am: Yoghurt or cereal bar

    Lunch: Brown bread sandwich with a chicken fillet

    Evening: Meat and small amount of carbs with veg and a protein shake after workout or eggs and wholewheat toast.

    Only additional intake might be a glass of juice or cordial. Diet can be a little inconsistent as I stay in hotels with work a bit and might have a slightly larger meal in the evening than when at home. Might be a few pints on a Saturday night and a take away on a Sunday but not every week.

    Any advice appreciated.

    Sort your diet out if you want to get your body fat down. Educate yourself from the stickies. Workout your maintenance cals and take a 500 cal deficit to lose approx 1 lb a week. Get rid of the bread, eat more meat, veg and good fats from fish almonds nuts, olive oil etc. Plan what your eating the day before and bring it to work with you. Be consistent. Getting rid of the take aways and alcohol is also gona help but I'm sure you know that already.
