[thehate.]

Hello all, let me start with some back ground I'm a professorial freestyle motorcycle rider and need to keep in shape I weigh in at 215 and I'm 6 foot tall my problem is I'm about 20 pounds over weight I go to the the gym 5 days a week to lift {some days hard as hell and some days I just do the damn thing} I pack on muscle FAST AS SHIT witch is a good thing the bad part is I loose fat slow!!!!!!! i have been varying my training to find something that works well for me.....with no luck .......I work one muscle group a day and do cardio for 1/2 hour a day my work out take about ...welll just over an hour i rest for 30 sec between sets ........ok to my question... what em I doing wrong? I read on MSN that men lose MORE fat just by lifting {they said it speed up our metabolism more so then cardio} is this true? shout I cut out this much cardo and focus on lifting more?

any help would be great.............

WELLLLLLLL about that......I'm not a big breakfast eater so i usually don't eat till about noon for lunch i'll have protein {stack, chicken or sum kinda meat} then i'll snack a few times before dinner {like a protein bar or beef jerky} then for dinner I have more protein {like fish, tuna or meat} sooooo I'm only eating like 3 times a day.....and it's mainly protein....i take in about 3000 calories a day or so....I think....

IMO that is why you "lose fat slow" .. You are not eating properly.. lacking in healthy fats & good carbs.

5-6 small meals
STARTING with breakfast


Water intake at least a gallon.

could you brake it down a bit? what is a clean carb? like rice??? and how many calories should i be eating a day? .....and I'm guessing diet pepsi don't count for my liquid consumption for the day......J/K...or em I.....

WOW your quick....ok i'm reading
funny this is me......................

Q: Breakfast, I skip it I can’t find time, is it important?
A: What!? Breakfast is by far THE Most important meal of the day. Your body goes 6-8 hours a night sleeping w/o food. The you wake up, your body is starved, and then when you don’t feed your body, it goes, "NO FOOD? Damn, I got to save myself, what if I don’t have food all day?" Then when you have that meal at around 11-12, your body keeps ALL it has just eaten. PLUS breakfast boosts Metabolism!
