 |  Where to start? (seeking guidance) Hello all, Very new to this whole scene, so was hoping for some guidence, from you experienced folk. I'm 20 and have just taken up martial arts again but want to take it more seriously this time around. I'm 6ft and am very light at 12st, also have a bit of a flabby torso, but very skinny limbs. Random weight distribution I know, lol. Dispite this im quite cardiovascular y fit, try to run about 4 miles every other day, with plenty of sports during the week (Squash, Tennis, Cycling). I think what lets me down is my diet :( I have some gym experience (i.e i've been before a few times) but never with any guidance so just did bits and pieces. I'm looking for a routine that builds strength with a side effect of bulk (rather than the other way round). I also want to tone up my mid section, and get rid of my little belly  .Diet wise, I can't really do this 6 times a day deal, so recommendations for meals at 3 times a day would be great. (what about supplements etc)? Could visit the gym up to 4 times a week, for about 1.5hr sessions ideally. Sorry for the long post, has anyone got any ideas ? Thanks for any advice  |

  | I for sure would incourperate some weigh/restance training here. Restance training is awesome for losing weight and changing where the size on the body goes. Bacic compound exercise would be my first place I would start. Second would be to look around in the diet forum and get some ideas on your diet. Or you can post you diet up here and we can have a look at it for some constructive criticism. you will get there but it takes one step at a time and the first step is your first post.. Welcome to the board mate!!!! |

| well I'm a student so my diet is awful, and is subject to complete change. As for weight/resistance/compound i'll have a look around for that. But as far as diet goes, I'm looking for some sort of list of meals, that are recommended. Or combinations/anything really lol. Cheers for the welcome |

| OK well you asked for it ;) This is a typical week (by no means the best or worst) I've tried to be as honest as possible, as theres no point in cheating myself. Sunday Breakfast – Porridge + Glass of juice Lunch – usually a sandwich Dinner – Typical Sunday roast Monday Breakfast – Porridge + Glass of juice Lunch – 2 poached eggs on 2 pieces of toast Dinner – Chicken curry (home made, from fresh meat (butchers)) Tuesday Breakfast – Porridge + Glass of juice Lunch – Grilled bacon sandwich Dinner – 8oz Rump steak + chips + peas (from the pub) Wednesday Breakfast – Porridge + Glass of juice Lunch – 2 poached eggs on 2 pieces of toast Dinner – Pork chop from butchers with baked potato and veggies Thursday Breakfast – Porridge + Glass of juice Lunch – Sandwich of some variety from the shop Dinner – spaghetti bolognaise Friday Breakfast – Porridge + Glass of juice Lunch – 2 poached eggs on 2 pieces of toast Dinner – Chicken pie (Iceland jobby) + veggies + baked potato Saturday Breakfast – Porridge + Glass of juice Lunch – Baked beans on toast, 3 slices Dinner – A pizza of some variety I drink lots of water thoughout the day, and occasionaly eat the odd bit of fruit here and there. What you think ? |

| Breakfast – Porridge + Glass of juice Add a protein here and a good fat Lunch – usually a sandwich Make sure there is enough protein in this sandwich and add a good fat Dinner – Typical Sunday roast This is ok if it is vegetables and some protein in the roast. You need to eat a protein with each of these meals (all meals). Couple of caps of fish oils would be a good idea with the meals as well. Avacado on that sandwich would be ok. Nuts to snack on. Lets look at Saturday as an example: Saturday Breakfast – Porridge + Glass of juice Lunch – Baked beans on toast, 3 slices Dinner – A pizza of some variety Breakfast has very little protein in it. Lunch has some protein but mostly carbs and some fiber, very little protein in this too. Dinner is mostly carbs and fats with a little protein in it. Toss some whey protein in your oats. Eat a chicken breast and drop a piece of bread for that lunch. Dinner, eat some meat with that pizza or just load it up with meatballs. |
