Hi guys, I'm a newbie on the forum and wanted to share what my training and diet is like at the moment, what my immediate goals are and would really appreciate any kind of feedback any of you could give me about any of it.
I'm hitting the gym six times a week, mainly on an evening as I work through the day. I do 30 minutes of cardio followed by roughly an hour's worth of high intensity lifting, 30-60 second breaks between 4 sets of 8-12 reps for 5 different exercises all focusing on one body part per lifting session. I'll generally do a full body workout to kick start the week then the next day I blast my arms, chest, shoulders, back, legs on each day until I get back to my one day of rest.
My diet is this at the moment . . .
Breakfast: 3 scrambled eggs on 2 slices of wholemeal toast and 2 glasses of water.
Morning snack: 1 medium banana and 1 tangerine.
Lunch: A full can of tuna or baked beans and a double helping of my protein powder which I mix with water. I currently use Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% whey. A double serving of the shake contains 226 calories, 2.2g fat, 2.4g carbs, of which sugars 1.2g, protein 47.8g.
Afternoon snack: a medium sized apple
Tea: Lean beef, chicken, Turkey, Salmon or a bit of white fish with a cup of peas and one small potato, either baked or boiled.
post workout: Another double helping of shake, a cup of pumpkin seeds, a handful of grapes.
fluids: I'm constantly sipping water through the day.
My immediate goal is to shed body fat while protecting what muscular gains I've created in the past six months of training. If anyone thinks I could or should be doing something different or extra to help with my fat loss, then please feel free to leave any suggestions that come to mind.
Cheers in advance for any help you guys can give me.
