You need more food. This is not the way to eat, this is the way to get sick.

Read about basic nutrition and try again. Make sure you tell us your goals and something about yourself first, like sex, weight, height, bf% etc.

Do you weigh 60lbs?

Hello my friends, the thing is that i suffer from low thyroid, a very slow metabolism. I gain real easy. Do u think i need more protein or more carbohydrates?

Thanx for your comments

Are you trying to gain weight? Are you working out? How much do you weigh? BF%? Goals? Height?

Hello there, sorry i forgot basic info.

I am 6'1", i weight 170, and my goal is 160, i'm trying to lose 10 lbs. My goal is to lose weight and get cut. I haven't measure my bodyfat levels yet.

I have another question: is it best to do a lot of repetitions like between 12 and 20? How come people who are trying to lose weight and get muscle definition try to do between 12 and 20 reps per set?

Thanks

If you are 6'1" you need to gain weight, not lose it. I assume you think you have to lose some fat. It can't be much so don't worry about it for now. Start with a basic strength routine like "Starting Strength". Eat lots of clean food. You have a slow metabolism because you have no muscle. Once you get stronger, the muscle will start building and the fat will start dropping. Do this for 6 months and then decide if you need to lose weight.

Reps in the 12-20 range are for muscular endurance. You do not need this. You need strength and size. Keep your reps in the 5-10 range. People who do high reps for cutting and muscle definition are people preparing for competitions. This is not you. You need to build it before you carve it.

Stuward: hi, the thing is that i *really* need to lose some fat and water weight off, so that my muscles look more defined. I cannot gain size, strength and muscles in this present state, even though i weight around 160 to 165, i feel like i am a bit puffy and bloated. This is why i wanna lose fat even though i dont have a lot of muscles (my bench press is around 135 lbs. 8 reps)


I have a question: Is it ok to diet without starchy-carbs?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

is it ok and possible to get cut and lose weight on a diet without starchy carbohydrates? My diet has carbohydrates, my carbohydrates sources will be fruits and green vegetables.

Here is my diet and tell me if it's ok to get cut without starchy or with very limited amount of starchy-carbs. (most of my carbs come from green veggies and fruits, my only starchy-carb source will be around 1/2 cup of boiled rice with the lunch)


NOTE: I have slow metabolism so i can't eat a lot like other guys

dude you need to eat more than 3 times a day, try doing 6-8. that will speed up you matab. , but you can eat a more carbs and fats than some one trying to cut. i would like to see you sitting around 180-185 , you could sit good at 200-220 with a low bf if you are serious about trainning.
