dieting advice

hi guys,

i want to take off about 8% bodyfat, i am 15 stone, 210lbs

i am not much of a runner, and therefore fast walking and the bike would probably suit me more, how many calories do i need to be burning in a 30 min cardio session??

also, as far as diet goes, i am eating approx 250g of protein a day, but i dont know how to count my calories or have access to weighing my food etc, HELP!

incline walking, short sprints, or interval training. what type of lifting are you doing? i'd do circuits to cut. as for your diet, how do you not know how many calories you take in? unless of course you eat out a lot. you should be able to check serving sizes and calories from labels. fruits, veggies, and meats can be found online, google search "calorie counter" or something of that nature.

enter and save new custom foods off the nutritional labels of the foods u use. pain in the ass the first week then it is pretty simple. Most packaging now says amounts of servings per container (at least in the U.S.) so a scale is not AS necessary. But I would suggest you buy one sooner or later.

first off..START COUNTING CALORIES!! if you cant count, start eating strict foods such as tuna, lean chicken breast, oatmeal in the AM, salads and fruit..thats basically all u can have if u cant count lol..im sure i forgot some but eh..2nd off..30 mins of cardio?is that a joke? u wanna lose 8% body fat..u better get crackin son. the body at minimal takes 45 minutes to get to its top fat burning peak. I would reccommend a minimum of 45 minutes cardio 3 times a week.. my personall favorite is maybe a 20 minute run, mix 2 sets of crunches at 50 reps in right after the run, and start a bike session for 30-60 minutes. hope this helps dude
