1 - well done for the weight loss so far

2 - starters mate e
ating lots of protien will not make you look like a body builder they dont just end up looking like that one day lol

3- eating 6 meals a day will be better than 3 as it keeps the metabolic rate at a good level

unfort im not the best to advise on diet as im just starting but just eat well, cut the junk food and train hard sorry thats all i can say as i am just starting my self

do some research tho and find out what foods are good to eat when, and then post a diet up and the lads on ere im sure will correct it
