Need advice on Diet.

Post by pixyvandamme »

I am trying to eat healthier and trying and get back in shape/tone. Here are particulars:
Female
32yrs old
5'6'
151lbs
This is what I a had to eat today:
7:30 Bowl of cereal Special K choc. delight w/ 1% milk
9:30 Banana
11:00 Apple
12:30 Chicken breast seasoned in Mrs. Dash talbe blend w/ minute rice (brown)
4:00 Celery sticks(7) w/ff ranch
6:00 Subway Philly steak and cheese w/ lite mayo
8:30 I will be having a protein drink w/ 1% milk

This adds up to roughly 1200 calories. I am not sure if this is enough.

This is first day so starting tomorrow I will be starting work out.

Workout will be Full body 3 days a week and cardio inbetween. Any advice or recommendations on foods will be greatly appreciated

(I'd opt for something with more Whole-grain appeal. Also add some more protein in here like Chicken, Ham, Eggs etc etc)

9:30 Banana

(Add more Protein in here like Low Fat Cheese, Chicken, Turkey etc etc, if you have Cheese, have the Apple instead, to keep Carbs a bit lower because of the Cheese Carbs, otherwise you could go for the Banana instead, but give it 10-15 minutes to start digesting so you don't impede digestion too much.)

11:00 Apple

(Forget this meal, as you don't need 1.5 hour meal spaces. 2.5-3 hours is better.)

12:30 Chicken breast seasoned in Mrs. Dash talbe blend w/ minute rice (brown)

(This should be fine. Though you could increase Carbs slightly with things like Cashews, Boiled Carrot, a small stick of Broccoli, etc etc)

4:00 Celery sticks(7) w/ff ranch

(You need more Protein here, like Chicken, Ham, Turkey etc etc, plus Carbs look a bit low too.)

6:00 Subway Philly steak and cheese w/ lite mayo

(Get rid of the Fatty Cheese if possible)

8:30 I will be having a protein drink w/ 1% milk

(I would increase Carbs in here, add Crushed Oats to the Shake, or have something seperate like Whole-grain Bread, Cashews, Whole-grain Cereal, small portion of Pasta etc etc.)

This adds up to roughly 1200 calories. I am not sure if this is enough.

(No, it's not, you need about another 900-1,000 to give you the 1,800 a day you need, plus another 300-400 a day for exercise. Seems like a lot but it will help.)

This is first day so starting tomorrow I will be starting work out.

Workout will be Full body 3 days a week and cardio inbetween.

(Split this, so you do it like this.

Day 1 Weights

Day 2. Cardio

Day 3. Weights

Day 4. Day off

Day 5. Cardio

Day 6. Weights

Day 7. Day off

This keeps the off days split and stops you training for more than 3 days back to back.)
