Is this a good plan?
Hey guys.
I just wanted to get some advice from you to see if im on the right track.
I decided recently that I need to make a change before its too late.
I am a 5-11, 22 year old and weigh 208 lbs. Up to several weeks ago I was extremely unhealthy and unfit. I use to eat garbage and soda almost everyday. I smoked about a pack a day and my energy level was zero. Whether I slept for 12 hours a day or 6, I would still be dead tired and would feel like shit.
Anyway, I will cut to the chase. I quit smoking 3 weeks ago, and started a healthy eating and exercising plan. I just want to check with people who have been at it for a while and know what they are doing if im on the right track.
I lift weights 3 times a week and cardio 3 times a week. I normally work out on an empty stomach first thing in the morning at around 6 AM.
Basically this is how I am eating currently:
8:00 AM - Oatmeal with skim non fat milk
10:00 AM - Either a protien bar or shake/ fruit or vegetable
12:00 PM - Chicken breast with baked potato and a serving of fruit or vegetable
3:00 PM - Protien bar or shake/ fruit or vegetable
6:00 PM - Lean ground beef patty by itself or chicken breast and and a serving of fruit or vegatable
9:00 PM - Protien bar or shake/ fruit and vegetable
Is this Ok? I want to lose 25-30 lbs and build muscle. I am tired of feeling weak and unhealthy. Am i on a good diet and exercise routine? When should i expect results?
Thanks a lot for your help. Its very much appreciated.
