I would suggest you cut the noodles, it has high sodium and carbo.

For your height and body weight you are kinda of ideal range. what you should cut is your body fat and maintain your weight from 70-75kg. Menaing you put on more lean mass and retain the weight.

personally, I would rather take rice in a smaller quantity compared to noodles, if you want to loose those fat. and increase your exercise intensity to retain muscles, there are so many exercises, like plank, leg raise, pushups, dips, situp, crunch, twist, so much many more. This will help to retain your muscles while toning it up. And it helps burning those fats when you intensify it.

read those stickies and google for many more tips...hope that helps. Keep your protein intake high.

mate, seriously, I hate to say this...but I dont understand why people start to do anything (immaterial what you want to do, in this case loose fat) without properly learning and understanding the mechanics behinds weight loss.

As I said, there are alot of articles in the stickies and google for even more. Then if you dont understand, you can ask for our opinion, remember what we say is not gospel, its just from experience and readings....

its really bad and and times could be dangerous with no proper readings you start something...

anyways, do read and read and read, and understand what you are reading, see where you stand now and then, set a proper goal.

if you have done your reading you wont be asking these silly questions.

calories, mentioned on the labels and as for raw or cooked food, you could check it out at

dont worry about pushups, just start what ever number you can, and then rest and continue again, in time you will improve, there is no two way about it

ANd yes, muscles needs protein, and if you dont work and feed our muscles, you are going to loose it as part of slimming program, end of the day you will be skinnyfat and not lean.

Good, glad that you are reading on the subject. As for articles, browse thru http://www.bodybuilding.com there are plenty, and will keep you occupied.

Gaining fat is faster then shredding it off, so always remember that. Its not going to be overnight and its a lifestyle change.
