Diet Program
Fitness and/or diet experts needed! What is the best exercise and nutrition program?
What is the best workout / diet program for me?
My background: 25 year old male, 6′2″, 180 lbs, basically fit and trim. I’ve been doing Matt Furey’s combat conditioning, eating less than 2000 cals/day and doing about 30 pull ups daily. I look and feel fit, but I have kind of a wiry look.
My objectives:
1. exercise no more than 30-60 mins a day.
2. eat well, but on a budget(!) approx. $10/day
3. gain strength, size to arms / torso
4. put on a little muscle weight/size without having to consume too many calories
5. avoid using free weights / machines, if possible, as I don’t have them
I’m not a crazy anorexic or anything, but I believe that consuming as few calories as possible will lead to a longer life.
So I really want a lifestyle that is healthy and sustainable. IE: I don’t want consider the consumption of 5000 calories worth of expensive placebo supplements sustainable.
What is the best workout and diet program for me? Thanks a million!
Well first off calories are actually defined as energy. Empty calories are what you need to be concerned with. (Beer/alcohol, processed foods, sugars etc.)
Eating too few calories per day can also be bad for you. Especailly if you are active. I suggest you figure out your daily caloric needs before starving yourself.
Eating too little can lead to lethargia, muscle atrophy, poor energy levels, depression/mood swings, just for starters.
If your strength training for 30-60 minutes per day it is very important you consume your daily caloric needs as well as sufficient protein/carbs/fats. Otherwise your just waisting your time in the gym.
I consume 6-8 meals per day, consisting of 3-4 protein shakes which are cheap and full of vitamins and low calories. I suggest Optimum Nutrition 100% Gold Standard Whey as it is low calorie/fat plus it’s cheap and tastes great.
I weigh about 170 and am currently around 8% Body Fat. My caloric needs are between 2400-2800 in order for me to maintain/bulk without adding body fat. My protien consumption is around 250-300g MAX per day.
Visit www.bodybuilding.com or www.forum.bodybuilding.com and search for daily caloric needs, etc. Play around in the forums also you’ll learn a lot of beneficial knowledge. Here you will also find great deals on supplements as well as free info on training.
As far as training, look into the Body for Life program for starts. It will give you a great foundation
