Starting out at the gym again after 2 years off... Gained 17Kilos in that time (the bad kind). Went from 80 and good definition to 97 and and a beer gut.
I've bee working out for about 2 months and haven't lost any weight, my lifts have increased alot, so I figure I'm loosing fat and gaining Muscle, but I'd like to speed it up a bit.
So I need my memory jogged about it all!
This is what I have been doing for the last couple months, maybe you can identify some weak spots.
Breakfast:
something decent, maybe a bowl of meaty soup. Or 3 pieces of toast with Vegemite on em, or Oats w/milk and brown sugar (not alot of either, but a bit).
Workout early AM
Post workout feed:
a couple of boiled eggs or a can of tuna in springwater.
Lunch:
I eat it in about 2-3 sittings from 10:30 - 3 or so.
2 sandwiches w/ tuna mayo and tomato or lunch meat mayo and tomato
a carrot, grapes, small tub of yoghurt, 10 almonds, sometimes an apple and a small sweet like an red frog or 2 pieces of choc (My wife making these lunches is the best thing about being married!).
Dinner:
Pretty big dinners I guess, whatever gets cooked, but usually pasta or rice based. Maybe 500g.
I just got Protein powder, and am looking to substitute some of this out for a protein shake or two.
I guess when I write it all down that is alot of food, but its all healthy as hell, and I don't like going hungry!
