As the title says. Im desperate to lose fat and lean out but have always found it difficult
Me:
30 years old
5ft 7
83kg - 183lbs roughly
Estimated 22-25% bodyfat (no calipers and im being generous with the figure)
Im a general gym goer, not athlete but i play football (soccer) occassionally but competetively. I want to maintain strength and muscle but main goal is fatloss/to be leaner
Heres my average day monday to saturday
Meal 1- 2-3 egg, 2 rashers bacon omellette cooked with butter
Meal 2- 6-7 small chicken wings or salamli salad or protein shake (low carb)
Meal 3- chicken and veggies or protein shake or more chicken wings
Meal 4- sometimes i have 2 teaspoons natural peanut butter to satisfy craving about 1 hour before bed.
I will also have a protein shake with bcaa’s post workout. My workouts vary with regards to time of the day, i prefer to train in the morning but sometimes i have to train in the evening if my shifts work out that way
Sundays
Cereal or peanut butter on toast or oats
Meat,veggies with roast potatoes (typical english sunday dinner)
Fish and rice or potato and tuna
Carb snacks and a cheat meal
I have had to tone the intensity down when working out due to having boughts of reactive hypoglycemia after training so i generally do one or two strength exercises followed by 30 mins fast walking on the threadmill with a high incline, throwing the odd sprint in every 5-7 mins
Depending on how this goes i will throw in complexes and up the intensity in the future.
I done a week with mostly protein shakes and an odd meal of eggs and salami (after readings thibs’ beast evolves) and lost 2.5kg but i know i cant do that constantly
Any comments or suggestions welcome
