Eggs are favourite type of protein and chicken.

Depends on who you talk to, but I know two trainers and they both say to do weights before cardio because you'll burn more fat that way.

for what it's worth bil and sil are both trainers and they have taught me to do 12 reps three times with each activity. You should be doing between 6-8 activities atleast.
