    hi. right here goes. im going back to college. last year i had a breakdown for 4 months and basically never set foot outside my bedroom, gained a reversed sleeping pattern and all sorts of other things.

    this year i want to do it differently. i need an eating plan. im 19, 6'3", 18 stone and i go to the gym 3 days a week officially. i intend on integrating other days/mornings of cardio to supplement weight loss and muscle tone. all i need now is the eating part of it to get sorted. if anyone has their own plan they find works for a healthy lifestyle (not a bodybuilding diet or anything) then please provide links or info. i will post my program if anyone needs to see it or anything.

    Thanks,

    Dermot

    wel firstly you should get a gram of protein per pound of weight a day to build muscle spread it out across 6 meals! also dont do white breads or white rice or anything, use brown bread and rice! try to avoid simple carbohydrates stick to the complex and only time simple carbohydrates should be eaten as far as i no is directly after a hard training session(or so im told) for a quick energy burst! cut out all alcohol and have a small amount of fat but very little of it to be saturated fat!(all this is what i have been told by a gym instructor althought im not sure how right he is please correct if im wrong)

    be more specific, whats your college timetable like i.e when do you have breaks, how much time between them etc. what other committments have you outside of college, sports etc???

    what are your goals?? you mentioned weight loss in your post. do you want to drop bodyfat then maintain your weight??? you get the picture, people will need more details to help

    ok i will give more info here.

    i dont know my college timetable yet but it should be fairly easy with only 2 or 3 modules to do. i have no other obligations as of now. i smoke. i dont drink whatsoever.

    i lost over 70 lb's in the last 9 months. i then gained more weight in muscle. i am not 18 stone. what i want to do is make sure than my training and eating are not cancelling eachother out. lowering body fat is also a goal because it would help with the definition of my muscles.

    thanks,
