Goals: I am trying to trim the fat while gaining muscle. I would also like to learn a good chunk more about nutrition (as I feel that's where I'm slacking tremendously), but I don't really know where to start since there is a ton of not so great info mixed in with some good info along the web.
BMR: 370 370 +(21.6)(165.59/2.2)= 1995.79273
TDEE: 1.375*(1995.79723)= 2 744.22119
My workout reg is Mon Wed Fri and I eat usually at 7am 12pm and 5pm. When I fit snacks into the equation it's something like 7am 11am 2pm 5pm. For the most part I am not home during the day since I work from 730am-5pm. My workout days consist of doing A days and B days (sets then reps). On A days I do 5x5 Squat, 5x5 Bench, and 5x5 Barbell Rows. On B days I do 5x5 Squats, 5x5 Push Press, and 1x5 Deadlifts. I've been following
Bill Starr 5x5 - Madcow Intermediate or Linear Version and adding 5lbs per workout.
My diet is pretty random... I don't know when it's a good idea or how much I should be having Mon-Fri for carbs, essential fats, or protein. I've been seeing that some people have pre and post workout meals and I haven't done that at all. I guess if I had to classify my diet right now it'd be:
Monday-Thursday
Meal 1: 2 scoops Whey, 2.5 cups Milk, 6 oz Chicken Breasts
Snack: 6 oz chicken breasts
Meal 2: 6 oz chicken breasts
Meal 3: Whatever my family makes
Bedtime Snack: Milk before I go to bed
Fri-Sunday
Meal 1: Whey, Milk
Meal 2: Some kind of sandwich
Meal 3: Whatever is available (if I'm at a restaurant pizza/burger/etc)
Then I usually binge drink one of those days once every 2 weeks or so.
Thanks in advance for any help. I'm really clueless about all this stuff so anything you give me will be great (I've been logging what I've been eating on loseit.com but it seems that you can't see every meal that I've been eating unless you own the account (
[email protected])). I know that what I've been doing has been terrible and sadly I have improved my diet considerably from May til now. Unfortunately it isn't showing which is why I decided to post after being recommended by a friend. Again, thanks for any and all help. It truly is immensely appreciated!
