i think even if u eat lots of apples and oranges still won't get fat. can't imagine anyone getting fat from eating too much fruits. unless its durian etc.

"154g or 1 cup of watermelon only has abt 46 calories, and mainly comprises of water and some simple carbohydrates (12g, in which 10g is fruit sugar)"

that is very little carbs for a lot of watermelon. in other words, you shouldn't worry too much bout it. i don't know why u take watermelons post workout though. most ppl take fruits as snacks in between meals to lose weight.

slow and heavy barbell shrugs!

yes i was. yeah dumbbells also can. u want your neck to be bigger; or the muscles at the side of your neck?

@ kurtkob78,

i dont think u should take tuna mayo. take tuna in spring water or brine instead. the nutritional value for the tuna mayo is really shitty, less protein and more carbs n fat. other than that, your diet seems all right to me in my opinion. it's okay if u don't wanna become hyuuuugeeEE

btw, since i've changed my diet to a bodybuilder's diet (5-6 protein meals a day) and increased my meal portions quite drastically, i've grown a significant belly it's not flab, its a hard tummy. is this temporal and will it go away once i start cutting? cause i notice some pro bodybuilders have a gut when they pose on stage. have to suck in a bit.

but it's unpinchable.. haha. can see my round belly but can't really pinch the flab.

umm.. your diet seems fine actually. more than ideal maybe if u're still hungry during breakfast eat some carbs (oats, bread, cereal etc) cause it's one of the best times to eat carbs. that and before/after your workout. your body's glycogen storage is depleted in the morning, kinda like how i feel right now

i think the key thing here is that you eat protein meals often enough. as 4rings stated it should be at least 4 protein meals a day. not enough protein = muscle catabolism. thats my opinion.

500-550 calories? it depends on your protein/fat portions, not your calories. how much protein/fat do u eat per meal, and how many meals a day?

thanks very much all your influence

when your belly is out of physical storage space i guess... ?

@ryan,

(this is my opinion, i'm not a professional nor have i done this)

if you want to lose fat, it's all in your cardio and diet.

diet: calories in < calories out. Eat more protein, less fat and carbs. keep your carbs low, but don't eliminate them. have more carbs for bfast and lunch, less/none for dinner. no carbs in between meals (except maybe before/after your workout). eat plenty of vegetables! veggies have lots of fiber and fill you up without much calories. make smart meal choices: chicken salad, tuna sandwich, steamed pak cham kai rice, beef noodles, etc. tuna in water, not tuna in mayo. no low fat food nonsense, go for real food since low fat food is probably loaded with sugar. eat small meals, eat on time, dont starve. no carbs after 6pm.

cardio: up to you, but ideally start with brisk walking, jogging, cycling, any cardio equipment. Then progress to maybe HIIT or increase your cardio speed, do sprinting, sports... etc. keep yourself active. try to cardio all out (test your stamina) once in awhile. do cardio often. slow walk fast walk JUST DO IT. at least 3 times a week.

i'm getting fat. i should walk the talk. haha

btw i hope that helps cheers

glad to be of help

this is my opinion, correct me if i'm wrong.
if you're cutting, i think your carbs is WAY WAY too high. i don't know much abt coffee, but i wouldn't recommend it as a pre-workout meal. lets see:

7am - not enough protein from just skim milk. eat whey, eggs, tuna, chicken, anything else
8.30am - not enough carbs for energy. eat oats, wholewheat bread etc. but since you're bfast is at 7am, should be okay. i dont know what black coffee does.
10am - pretty ideal
12.30pm - good good
3.30pm - your meal here is pure carbs.. go for protein + fat meals. i thought u were cutting?
7.30pm - good
10.30pm - good

basically carbs for bfast + after workout. after that, you don't really need to eat anymore carbs. at least keep it to a minimum. try cutting rice from your dinner if you really want to cut.

but then again, this depends on your fitness goals and how you train. i'm assuming you're doing bodybuilding exercises + some form of cardio. hope that helps

milk IS full of carbs. for whey, i take 2 scoops after workout, and i take 1 scoop mixed with other ingredients between meals, so maybe 4-5 scoops on workout days, 2-3 scoops on non workout days. i don't think you need to up your intake, unless u feel that your daily intake is insufficient.

if u do train like u say u do, you'll definitely cut in no time! good luck with that and update us with your progress. cheers

heaty? really? i've never felt that before :S

56kg at 170 cm??? and u still want to lose fat? i think you are 'thin' enough la

anyway, dont worry abt the yolks.. when u eat eggs, just eat them whole. you're just throwing away the only most important part of the egg. all the vitamins, omega fats and vital cholesterol are there.

maybe if u want to lose fat faster, try cutting on rice and go for more eggs and maybe do more intense cardio (faster).

hope that helps
