Hey guys, I'm in need of some advice.

Pics in spoiler:

I've been on stronglifts for a total of 23 sessions (7 weeks+ ?). I've been adding 5lbs progressively to the squat without stalling so far (oddly enough, the oly bar at my gym is around 30 lbs?). I'm squatting 140lbs now. I can continue, but as the squats are relatively heavy now, I find myself being agitated/restless after working out as well as the next day. As I need to concentrate on studying for my exams (2 weeks), I'm stopping for now.

For the past two weeks, I've added interval training at the end of lifting, which is a total of 3x 1 minute sprints. Previously, it was steady state cardio for 12-15 minutes after lifting.

Results: Quads grew by 1.5 inches, and chest grew by 0.5 inches. Butt much firmer. Weight remains relatively the same, so I assume my BF % went down.

Question: As can be seen from the second pic, I have belly fat. I do not like looking at it, although it can only be seen when I sit down. That was my attempt at showing the bulge of my belly fat when I sit down. I am actually satisfied with my mass now (I know I'm small in comparison to other people who lift weights, but I'm satisfied with myself this way). Although it would be a bonus to add on muscle mass (and from lifting more, hopefully I will), my main goal for me now is to be at this size (or bigger), but to lower my BF % to the point I don't have a bulge when I sit down and have visible abs when I'm not flexing.

Diet:

If I do not have class on that day, I would be waking up straight to lunch. But I will still be having 5 meals a day:

Fish oil + vitamin C right after bed

Meal 1: 2 eggs + oats

Meal 2: Brown rice (unless I eat out), vegetables, meat. Portion is equally divided 1/3 of each.

Meal 3: 3 eggs OR 2 wholegrain bread + serving of tuna + soy milk drink OR thosai + 2 eggs or tandoori + chapati.

Meal 4: Brown rice (unless I eat out), vegetables, meat. Portion is equally divided 1/3 of each.

Meal 5: 3 eggs OR 2 wholegrain bread + serving of tuna + soy milk drink or thosai + 2 eggs OR tandoori + chapati.

Meal 6 (sometimes if I can squeeze in an extra meal before bed): 3 eggs

All the eggs, I eat them whole. Sometimes I wonder if its too much yolk lol. Typically, whether or not I wake up in the morning, I have some brown rice twice a day which is lunch and dinner. White rice if I eat out. Portions of rice is relatively small compared to normal people. I try to have as much meat on the plate as possible. The meals in between eating rice is typically the same, which is a either one of the combination of foods mentioned above. It's not equal in terms of carbs and protein, but in general I try to keep the protein intake of around a minimum of 20g/meal.

On workout days, at meal 3, I will be having my protein shake + glucose after workout, and 2 eggs when I reach home instead.

I do cheat with my meals sometimes, but on most days it's relatively stable like the above. I like drinking teh ais (kurang manis) too when I'm at the mamak.

I'm currently at a lost of what to do. My main priority as of now is to lose fats. I like doing the 5x5, but what else should I be doing to make my fats go away? Fat loss has been too slow.

Is this too much? :

Mon/Wed/Fri - 5x5
Tues/Thurs - Circuit training + jog

or

Mon/Wed/Fri- 5x5 + interval training
Another day or two - jog

Btw, I can't use the cardio machines to do steady state cardio. I get bored after 5 minutes or so. Jogging is fine though.

Is it too much? Have I been doing too little? Please guide me  sad.gif

Lastly, I was previously extremely skinny, to skinny + belly, and now I'm at my current state. Sorry I did not resize my second pic, I forgot.

fish oil(s) are to be taken after meal or with meal. never ever take them b4 your meal or when your stomach is empty.
