damn, dude. i used to do that. IMO opinion, it doesnt particularly matter. as long as its convenient for you, should be fine. anyways, its not like you are cutting hardcore or anything now, ryte? after all, while eating you can remove the stubborn fats bit by bit.

true but you gotta see it from a bigger picture. eating chicken breast alone wont make you lean. just throw in some cardio. should be fine.

I wanna ask sifus here.. If i jog only 2 or 3 times a week, can i maintain my stamina? Because i noticed my stamina has increased and i can run longer than before but my new sem is starting next week....

YO

morning wake up 9am

morning - 1 glass of milk

11.30am Lunch - 2 Eggs, Rice (little), vege and meat

dinner - rice,vege and fish

i jog for 40 minute everyday, twice a week 1 hour 30 min gym and 4 hours badminton onces a week, and i'm losing weight so slow ): i try not to eat between eating ours or after eating hours, no supper for me, i drink more water, but don't know is this lifestyle healthy~

When are you doing your cardio? First thing in the morning, evenings before dinner?

Most people agree that the best time to perform cardio for weight loss is the first thing in the morning. Not only will you be able to target the fats but it will also help increase your metabolism rate for the rest of the day. This is the most important thing when it comes to losing weight actually. Paired with weight training and sports, you will be able to increase and maintain your metabolic rate at a higher level.

You might also want to snack in between meals on clean food to help keep your metabolic rate up. Try snacking on fruits, prunes, oatmeal biscuits.. etc between meals. Once your body gets used to this lifestyle and maintains a higher metabolic rate, you will notice more significant weight loss

Say I wanna do diet but it make me not doing it. O____O ( 85Kg )

My food routine is :

Morning - Serial food

Afternoon - Few rice and beans and egg. Plus with water lol

Before 7pm - same goes with the Afternoon routine.

But still it doesn't change anything. O_____O

Give some help please

No workout? Do some cardio like HIIT and diet with more small meals a day to see significant results.

thx so much man, i usually do the jogs in the evening, i'll wake up early nextime, hope i'd lose weight more

Try to eat 5 balance meal a day. Diet without workout will fail. If you workout, you can eat more

losing weight is not about eating less, why do people still dont get it..
The term DIET is very much mistaken for starving ourselves in hopes we'd lose fat...

Like mentioned above, u MUST perform sufficient amount of activity (weight training, sports, cardio..etc) to up your metabolic rate.
With controlled caloric intakes and high metabolism rate, you will be able to burn fats and lose weight quicker than ever!

Losing fat requires both an elevated metabolic rate AND caloric deficit in your overall daily food intake. One wont work well if the other is missing..

actually for those who starve themselves are also losing weight, its just that they don't want to build muscles, youngsters don't like the look of muscles unlike grown ups who knew the advantage of it

farking hilarious post. you should be give the nobel prize or something for such utter nonsense findings man! congrats! you think you can build muscle just by eating some puny amount of protein! WOW! I WISH I HAD YOUR GENES! HAHA! AGAIN, FARKING HILARIOUS!

i don't understand what you just posted

but go around for girls who doesn't want to build muscles to look pretty, what do you say? eat 5 balanced meals too? but of course excercising is still a need for everyone

yes. you probably started lifting weights yesterday and read a few pages off men's health and think you are mr-know-it-all. before trying to be a smart-ass, go do your homework first. well, the least you could do is google it. for the love of god, man, if not for the love of your own health.

-.- we're just giving opinions, don't get offended pls

giving opinion is one thing, but you, on the other hand, are not. you are giving misleading advices that could cause people their health. so, stop talking about things that you dont know or that you are unsure and unaware of.

Can anyone advise me on my diet? Or comment?

Current stat:

Weight: 89kg
Height: 174
Body fat: 24%

I've started doing resistance training for the past three weeks. Jog/HIIT at least five days a week. At the moment, I lost up to 6kg in the last three weeks. I believe mostly are water weight and muscle.

I've been keeping a journal for the past two weeks. Watching over my diet. I plan to build up muscle, lose fat and get lean. At the moment, I'm more concern on losing weight and reduce some sizes by the end of the month since Prom Night is end of the month

But after that, I'll focus on building muscle and getting lean.

I keep updating my diet plan everyday, seeing which suit me after reading various sources online. I still need advise here.

Anyway, after tracking for almost three weeks, I discovered that my calories intake fluctuates between 1200-1700 calories, minus cheat meal where I consumed more than 2k. I calculated by RMR which is around 2600 if not mistaken.

In that case, my calorie deficit is really a lot, which is unhealthy, it burn my muscle away I believe, though I notice significant reduce in visible BF after three weeks workout and also arms getting firmer.

Just little info on my target diet:

i) 160g of protein = 640 calories
ii) 130g of carbs = 480 calories
iii) 40g of fats = 360 calories

= 1480 calories

I still dont stick very much to it. My consumption varies everyday. and I just got myself ON Whey to supply my protein. So I consume 50g protein from whey everyday, the rest comes from food.

Any comments? I seem cant figure out ways to increase my calories other than eating junk? And I'm a university student, with large part of time spend in campus and hostel. So cant prepare food much. Only be able to prepare at night and morning.

My today's intake:

Morning
1. 4 egg white
2. 1 whole egg
3. 250ml HL Milk

Lunch
1. Chap fan (two vege one fish)
2. one slice of pineapple

Pre-workout
1. 250ml HL Milk
2. 1/2 scoop of ON Whey

Post workout
1. 1.5 scoop of ON Whey
2. HL Milk

Dinner
1. Chicken Breast
2. Fish ball
3. Some vege
4. 1 serving of Tuna in Olive Oil

Estimated calories and nutrients:
Calories: 1418
Carbs: 73
Fats: 42
Protein: 183

Any comment?

It is not advice to cut calories more than 20% from your maintainance metabolic rate. Even some suggest not to lower your calories lower than 1800 for a man. 1800 will be the minimum. Unless you are very short maybe can modify a bit this min value. It's good to jog about 4 days a week. With minimum 30 minutes per session. And also include weight lifting or HIIT to elevate your metabolism longer. And eat more natural food. It's more satisfying then to eat shake. Maybe can drink your whey after HIIT.

I know about it... I'm afraid my hard work will be wasted because of too much calorie deficit.

So what should I add into my meals? I seem cant find anyway..

What shd i increase?

at the moment my cardio consist of walking/jog.. with HIIT in the beginning. I havent really follow the strict HIIT. I just run as fast as I could and walk and repeat again for the first 10-20 mins.. the rest of the 30 mins I juz jog and walk. I'm building my stamina.. but stamina is there but my leg jz sore after 20-30 mins. Any advise?

I have my resistance about 30mins each session.

can add egg white, wholegrain bread or peanuts. 2 tablespoon of roast peanuts already 100kcal. 1 wholegrain bread already 63kcal. 3 egg white is 51kcal.

What's the proportion of nutrients do you guy suggest? I mean protein, carbs and fats?

What is the advisable consumption of those? Let's say morning more carbs, and less towards the end of the day?

Roast peanuts? hmm...

Anyway, I ate about 5-8 eggs daily.. most of the time hard boiled. Sometimes I add tomato sauce, oyster sauce of bbq sauce.. any recommendation how to make it tastier?
