All i hear is "moan, moan, moan" from my argie girl . . .
Subject matter details:
Age 22
Height 156cm
Weight 54 kilos
Bodyfat guessing around 20%
Now I donīt think this cutting diet is that strict at all, please give suggestions how i could tighten it up a bit. Problem is she wants instant results from eating takeaways and chocolate, women hey! Her goal is to drop some weight and burn fat, i designed this diet to increase her protein intake and give her metabolism a kick start and improve her metabolic rate at rest. May not be the best diet, but compared to what she was eating before well . . .
10:00am Meal 1
Bowl of oat based cereal with semi skimmed milk
One piece of wholemeal toast with two scrambled eggs (one yolk)
Coffee with milk/sweetner
carbs;36g, protein;20g, fat;10g
12:30pm Workout

2:00pm Meal 2
Lean beef steak with sweet potatoes/broccolli and gravy
carbs;15g, protein;30g, fat;6g
5:00pm Meal 3
Bowl of lean steak mince cooked with olive oil/garlic/onions/peppers/mushrooms/oregano/tomato pure
carbs;0g, protein;21g, fat;10g
8:00pm Meal 4
Tuna salad with boiled egg/rocket/onions/tomatoes/parmesan cheese/olive oil/vinegar/salt
carbs;0g, protein;17g, fat;5g
2 litres of water per day
I calculate the daily macroīs to be 51g carbs, 88g protein and 31g fat, i didnīt include for the veggies/salad as i thought these would be insignificant, maybe iīm wrong about that? I calculated her calorie intake to be 1080Kcal per day, this is 900 below her maintenance target, by my reckoning this should be sufficient to burn fat . . .
I know thats probably not enough meals, but its only been two weeks and she is already bored of food, i have a protein shake on order which i will get her to drink post workout, plus i am trying to squeeze in a snack somewhere of fruit and nuts. On weekends (non-workout days) i have been substituting the sweet potatoes for more greens.
She thinks its too much meat and protein and she is gonna bulk up, i have told her this is nonsense but she doesnīt believe me. Bottom line is i donīt think she trusts me (she might have good reason depending on your reponses ha) and some reassurance from you guys is probably just the ticket, hopefully that weīll stop the moaning anyway.
Also, instead of a cheat meal she is trying to twist my arm into 8 squares of chocolate per week, what are your thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance for any input.
