Belly Fat

[Swole_2112]

Everyone here has given you some pretty good advice. I'd say not to get into the habbit of calorie counting. Like others here have said, eat 5-6 small meals/day. Make sure you are getting high clean protein, moderate healthy fat, and low carbs. Just make sure you don't eat too much tuna. No more than four cans/wk. The mercury levels are too high to eat more than that. Don't eat too late at night and make sure you have breakfast. And, make sure you have protein with every meal.

On top of all that, make sure your training is in tune. What is your training like, anyway? Why don't you post it and let us all get a look?

calorie counting is extremely important....he maybe eating something he thinks is not calorie dense but really is. take for example almonds....1/2 cup is like 500 cals....point is he needs to keep track of what he eats and when....it will help the progression no doubt.

as far as the tuna is concerned....unless your eating salmon twice a day everyday for the last 5 years i think eating tuna on a daily basis is fine lol.

I am surprised that no one mentioned www.fitday.com yet to help track cal intake. It was one of the best advice I had gotten here. When I thought I was doing good, it wasn't as good. I was getting more carbs that I thought I was (they seem to hide everywhere)

You make a good point with the calorie counting. The only reason I recommended not going with such an approach is because I believe one should become more focused on the form in which the calories are comming rather than their quantity. Usually, if one begins calorie counting, in time, it will be all they pay attention to when selecting food.

With regard to the tuna - and I did read the link - a nutritionist friend of mine warned me against the consumption of more than four cans of tuna per week. He said that the mercury content of tuna was to high to safely consume more than that. When I asked him what kind of effect high mercury levels had on the body he mentioned several negative things, one of which was damage to the central nervous system. Once I heard that - and subsequently did my own research - I was convinced.
