Getting back into it.

exercise is the antidote

Ok lads diet is:
Breakfast: 2 weetbix in full fat milk and banana or a bowl cornflakes with the same.

Lunch: Sandwich and fruit and a cuppa with a sneaky few biscuits

Dinner: bowl of cereal or a salad with chicken or a chicken or beef dinner then try and stop myself picking on stuff for the evening

I'm just under 6 foot. 13 stone. 23 years old.

Training: running 6-7km in the morning before work.

I have had an epiphany as of late and want to get back kickboxing training. I am looking to get rid of the lower belly the boobs :)and tone up. I know my diet is all over the place and could be improved. I'm a student and have a physical enough job and find myself drained if I cut back on eating too much. How can I make this work.
Thanks In advance for any help

breakfast: cut out the extra bowl of cornflakes. you can keep the banana

lunch: cut out the biscuits. add an apple/pear/banana if you want instead.

dinner: cut out the bowl of cereal. also, don't be picking at stuff. Have a shedload of salad nearby if you really want something to pick at. pick away at that.

keep up the running. that should take care of the belly.

start push ups, pull ups and dips to start getting some definition on your body.

I don't know much about the kickboxing so can't advise there.
What is the physical job? That might influence how much food (calories) you may (or may not) need to eat.

Your diet looks like a typical irish version of trying to eat well. A sandwich for lunch and just have cereal instead of dinner a few nights. (maybe its a student thing though).

It's not a case that you need to cut back on food, you just need to eat more real food and less crap.


Breakfast: Weetabix is fine. Or oats. But you need protein based breakfasts too. Eggs are perfect. Rotate between these.

Lunch: Some combo of [protein] and [nutrition]. In plain English, these means meat and vegetables. A handy way to achieve this is making extra dinner the night before. Small portions of carbs with this are fine too, ideally around training. Can this be achieved with a sandwich? Yes (lean meat and salad on bread), but its a bad idea imo as it leads into bad habits and going for stuff like breaded chicken rolls.

Dinner: Real food, sensible portions. Meat & veg. Easy

Cutting out everything and filling up on a shedload of salad is pretty lacking in a lot of areas.
