But what time? hows this meal plan?

Post by x_rated_mo »

is there a better time to be doing any of the workouts on a specific day?

fat burning mode is in the morning, n best time to gain muscle (from MensHealth) is at night.

which one to follow ?? should i do the full body/20-30min aerobic in the morning, and do the heavy lifting at night?

also check this meal plan:

oatmeal, milk, fruits

lowfat yoghurt or cottage cheese, fruit

eggs or beans, spinach or salad

chicken breast or beef or crab meat, veggies, 1/2 slice wholegrain bread

(normally i do myworkout at this time)
tuna or crab meat or chicken, veggies

handful of peanuts or almonds, green tea

one last thing--wat set/reps should i do on the heavy lifting days? (6-8?)
and wat sets/reps should i do on the fullbody days? (8-12?)

just do them when you feel at your strongest which is about mid afternoon for me (very soon)

the central nervous system takes about 3hrs to wake up so it's not wise to train in the morn although some light cardio would be fine after breaky

as for training in the evenong i think mid afternoon is better as you can take full advantage of the post workout meal and elevated metabilism for longer

2/day workouts are probably not as effective for most regular trainer's with jobs etc

oatmeal, milk, fruits...fruit 1st

lowfat yoghurt or cottage cheese, fruit...fruit 1st

eggs or beans, spinach or salad

chicken breast or beef or crab meat, veggies, 1/2 slice wholegrain bread

(normally i do myworkout at this time)...protein shake strait after training
tuna or crab meat or chicken, veggies

handful of peanuts or almonds, green tea

if following the destroying fat program than heavy days have 1 exercise x 4 - 6 reps followed by a second at 8 - 10 (for memory) while the full body circuit days are for 12 - 15 reps
