Input.. Advice.. all that...It's been a few years..

[boombastic boyee]

Jeez. Where to begin?I graduated high school at 18 years of age and totally normal weight..I got a desk job straight out of school.. It's been 4 years since than and the weight has came on so fast I don't even think I noticed it until it was too late..

Nothing but horrible eating and being inactive has been taking up most my days..

I'm now 225, 21 years old, and about 6'-1 tall.
What should my ideal weight be for my height...? What kind of goals should I set?

These are the only pics I've been able to get a hold of to show my build.. I'm curious to know what my weight should be for my size...

Breakfast

1 waffle (briefly microwaved) with a banana in peanut butter wrap -300 Calories

Snack
Coffee (regular)

Lunch
Weight Watchers shake for lunch - 175 Calories

Dinner
Chicken Pita, Double Meat, Tzakii, lettuce, tomato, olives, pickle, etc. - 400-500 Calories?

-Consisting of 20 minutes of cardio a day
-Weights for 30 minutes a day
-prolly a few green teas a day
-last meal at 9pm

Any input would be appreciated.. And I'll keep this updated.

These are two guys I hang out with at work...

Said it before and will say it again

-Eat 1-2g of protein per lbs of bodyweight
-drink at least 3 litres of water a day
-eat only unprocessed, unrefined carbohydrates that are lower on -the GI scale except post workout when u want an insulin spike from something high like glucose
- Consume at least 25% of your daily calories from Fats, Fats however should be from good sources such as EFAs, Fish, Fish Oils, Olive Oil, Flax Oil, Nuts
- Consume no more than 50% of your daily cals from Carbs... this is a sensitive issue for some people, some can get away with more depending how active and insulin sensitive they are.. a good ratio to follow is 30% carbs, 30% fats 40% protein
- Eat your calories split across 5-6 smaller evenly spaced meals throughout the day as oppsed to 2 or 3 big meals
- Consume fiber in the form of fiberous veggies daily
- Stay away from Fried food, Hydrogenated oils, Fructose syrups

Grreat. I'll check that out.. and map out a new daily food menu.

what should my ideal weight be though?

Depends on what you mean by "ideal"

Someone who is 6'1" 225 can be in PERFECT shape and RIPPED to shreds

Someone who is 6'1" 225 can be a ball of lard and way out of shape.

If you want to be defined (not huge) but cut, I'd say 6'1" 210

Like I said, it all depends
