hi,
After years of working out , dieting, damaging my metabolism and not seeing the result I wanted, I have finally decided to do a change.
Im 5'6" , don't know weight...afraid of see the number, but somewhere around 130lb.
To help you best we really need to know your weight quick look at calories you look to be under eating also some of your food choices are less then ideal.
English muffins and whole wheat breads should go.
The following are food I feel are best when trying to lose weight:
• Turkey skinless breast
• Chicken skinless breast
• Fish
• Lean beef
• Buffalo
• Egg whites
• Omega eggs
• Skim milk
• Low-fat cottage cheese
• Wild-game meat
• ezekiel bread
• Sweet potato
• Steamed brown rice
• Oatmeal
• Barley
• Beans
• Kidney beans
• blueberries
• Strawberries
• cherries
• blackberries
• Greek yogurt
• Broccoli
• Asparagus
• Lettuce
• Cauliflower
• Green beans
• peppers
• Mushrooms
• Spinach
• Cabbage
• Celery
• Zucchini
• Cucumber
• Onion
• Avocado
• Sunflower seeds
• Pumpkin seeds
• Natural Peanut Butter
• dry roasted peanuts unsalted
• raw almonds and almond oil
• walnuts and walnut oil
• macadamia nuts and oil
• sesame oil
• Olives and olive oil
• Flax seed and flax seed oil
This is a simple general diet plan I suggest eating 5-6 small meals a day calories should be about 10-12 x wieght so if you are a 130 lbs at the bare minimum you should be eating 1300 but I'd say probably closer to 1500-1600 per day.
If you under eat your chances of stay skinny fat increase dramatically as your body will not build or retain muscle in fact it will feed on what ever muscle you do have.
Diet wise start with a ratio of
40% Protein
30% carbs
30% fats (good fats)
Stop eating carbs after 6 p.m.
You should be getting a gallon of water in a day you can also drink green tea decaf and other decaf herbal teas as much as you like.
