Hi everyone, I'm new to the site. I recently put on 28 pounds over the course of a year, by very poor diet. I'm currently seeing a personal trainer, which is a good friend of my and is charging me a very cheap price. I see him 4 days week for weight training, with the other 3 days on my own I do cardio, as in a fat loss program on the treadmill.
So my question is on calorie deficit. I currently need 3000 calories to maintain my current weight of 206 with my waist being 39inches. Note: January 1st 2012 I weighed in at 228, with a waist of 43inches. Want I want to know is what I'm doing is healthy or not.
4 days of weight training 1-1.5 hours a day burning around 5-600 calories in each session
3 days of cardio 1 hour sessions burning around 700 calories
My calorie Deficit is around 1200-1500 calories. Note I'm on a high protein diet consuming around 200g of protein a day
I have a calorie deficit around 8500 calories a week and i burn around 4500 calories in exercise a week That's a total of 13000 calories
My diet is pretty plain because I'm a picky eater
breakfast: Slim-fast
Mid morning snack: is either boneless skinless chicken 4oz on 100% wheat double protein bread or low sodium turkey
lunch: protein bar 20g
post work out is whey protein shake which is 60gram of protein
dinner: usually about 6-8 ounce of skinless boneless chicken with veggies
last meal: usually a protein 3-4 before I go to bed.
I do drink close to a gallon of water a day. I also take a vita pack sport for gnc
Iv been on a 3.5lbs a week of weight loss 6 weeks. Am i pushing my body way to much. I feel great, actually the best I have in a long time. My resting heart rate is at 48-50 bpm
