Hi all,

I'm new to this board, new to absolutely beasting myself in the gym and starting to tighten my diet up. I'm doing ok on the diet but when I get hungry I just go for it. I have tried eating 5 times a day but I still get hungry. I can't eat much more and stay in a reasonable calorie range.

Thoughts?!
 
Help us help you - we need more info.

Lay out exactly what you eat most days - food, amounts, condiments, time when you eat, etc.

Also, lay out specifically what you do in the gym. Exercises, weight, time spent, intensity, time of day, etc.

More info we have , better we can help!
 
Thanks for replying.

Ok so to start in 5ft 7, 150lb bf 23%.

Usual diet.
7am 2x wholemeal toast
10am protein shake
12.30 tuna or chicken salad (with some sauce)
4pm fat free yogurt
8.30pm low carb dinner.

Train 4 days a week, sometimes 5. 2 groups of muscles per session. 3 sets of 12 with last struggling to complete the last set. Cardio at the end of each session being either hiit or a jog. Only do evening work outs.
 
Hey nice to see another Brit lady on here!!
I'm thinking just off looking that maybe you could add 50g dry weight rice 2x per day or start the day with a bigger breakfast that way your burning it off throughout the day. Oats and a banana or apple , you seem to be doing an awful lot for the food your eating.
 
Here's a good example.
Meal 1 Oats and piece of fruit
Meal 2 shake 16almonds
Meal 3 chic breast green beans 50g rice
Meal 4 shake almonds
Meal 5 fish/red meat salad broc/g beans
You could play around with this to suit you it's just an example
 
Hey - another Brit onboard indeed! Are you from here too?

Ok rice sounds like a good idea, hopefully keep me fuller for longer! Regarding the oats - is there any other cereal I woulc replace this with as I have to literally gag them down and I dont think I can do that for a long period. Maybe Weetabix? Bran Flakes? Or and I just being hopeful?
 
Well welcome chic. Good to have you here! I'm not a fan of cereal as most are full of sugar. But I'm thinking maybe oatabix or you could do what I do and have eggs 3 whole 4 whites that way your getting carbs and protein. Hope this helps.
 
You should add some more carbs if you do cardio after each session so it won't take from your muscles. Also fill yourself with lettuce and cucumber they are practically almost 0 calorie. And remember to drink lots of water as sometime a sign of dehydration are hunger craves
 
Oh and yeah I live in Durham chic. Where bouts you living!?
 
Ill look into Oatabix,t Then failing that it will be eggs. Thanks Ladies!

Ha! Can't believe you mentioned Eastenders. I'm from the other side of the pond, waaayyyy out in California but we got Eastenders on an educational channel and I watched for 20 years but they pulled the plug on it. I'm a newbie, too and messed up!! Back to bodybuilding after 10 year layoff. Joined gym last year skinny/fat. Now just fat but keeping strength, always lifting heavy, mostly compounds, sets @ 6, 5, 4 ---only because I keep unsuccessfully dieting, so intensity up, volume way low. I'm getting soft and doughy now cuz the weight's not budging and neither is the workout. I'm in a quandry. I'm petite, 5'2" 123lbs., 25% bodyfat. Diet is anywhere from modified PSMF to low carb to medium carb to screwed up! 4:00 a.m. protein/carb, 5:00-6:00 a.m. w/out, then I split 1/4c cooked starch w/protein, veg. five more times. I get about 123g protein per day. I'm a binger so I do that when I get discouraged. I know I'm a baby so please don't spank me but I may need a time out. Please help.

Lol, my ex is in Cali, and she watches East Enders too! Not sure which channel, BBC America maybe?

On diet, I'm a firm believer in eating for your (blood) type. I'm actually conducting an experiment into its effectiveness ATM. Got a log in the journals section if your interested. What I've found is that I'm still getting leaner even though I'm not watching cals or macros (apart from trying to maintain high protein intake) I have more energy, can eat much more before I feel full and I'm still maintaining my lean mass (I'm training for a kickboxing tournament so not aiming to increase mass) if you know your blood type I can give you a list of no no foods for your type.

Also, you're more likely to get responses if you start your own thread. Everyone here is very helpful especially the ladies I've noticed.

PS with those stats I really think I ought to put you over my knee..... If I weren't involved and thousands of miles away....
 
Hmmm. Very interesting about blood type. My health food store recommended I get into that but I just thought, another fad. However, if there's positive feedback in terms of experiences with blood type, such as you, what the heck. Don't know my blood type, A or B (negative) is all I know for sure. Oh, I have plenty of stuff in my head for starting a thread, so I'll do just that. Thanks for responding and your feedback.

All the pros can help you out, I just have 1 thing to ask....Eastenders, educational?? Please explain?!
 
^^^ I think it's to help Americans understand us. We know all the different words they use cos of all the US tv programmes we get here but I found it hard to be understood sometimes. No one seemed to understand me when I asked for tomato using our pronunciation, not could they understand when I asked for change "quarter" in our accent sounds different enough that peeps had no clue what I was on about!

I know, huh? Let me first explain that I am completely obsessed with all things British. When I got out of school, I headed to London. Came home, got a job in London and went back for a year. Haven't been back, sadly. I had a "room" in Hampstead Heath and the first time I lived with a guy on Portobello Road. Great times. Our PBS TV channels (Public Broadcasting System) have all kinds of shows, most of which are educational, some entertaining and for enjoyment. Lots of nature shows, teaching kids how to read, etc. And LOTS of British stuff. It runs the gamet. Over the years, I've enjoyed: Are You Being Served? Keeping Up Appearances, and my all-time fave...Faulty Towers. They still repeat most of them. All kinds of drama too. At one time, it was all I watched. Right now, I'm totally obsessed with Peter Dinklage.

When I first arrived in London, I was shocked that I couldn't understand a word anyone was saying. Specially cockney, whoa. I stayed for 3 months and came home with an accent. Everybody thought I was faking it like Madonna, I didn't care. I loved it. I really wasn't faking. I think I internalized an accent in order to understand people (if that makes sense). I'm so glad to be able to get on board for my workout passion with some UK folks. It makes me... :wavey:
 
Haha I isn't think they still showed faulty towers here let alone in the US! It's great tv, and if you like all that stuff try only fools and horses...absolute classic!
 
HA! Very funny. That's Nicholas Lyndhurst. He used to be in Butterflies that I also used to watch. GAWD, I think that was from the '70s.
 
Yep that's him!
Other programmes he's been in that I recommend are "Piglet files" and "goodnight sweetheart"

:)
