Diet stion

[leroy19]

I am 38 years old and want to lose some more weight and tone up. I am 240 lbs and 6'0 tall. I have lost 20 lbs in the last 6 months training and dieting properly. I got my hands on winny and plan to use it for the next 6 weeks. I am wondering if I should change my diet to add more calories or maintain my current diet.

Diet consists of:
Breakfast - protein shake, 4 slices of whole wheat toast and a banana
Snack - Granola bar or dried raisins
Lunch - Tomatoes and cucummbers with a granola bar
Snack - Granola bar or dried raisins
Supper - meat and a salad

I was also taking a CLA supplement.

Any suggestions.

Welcome to the board. Now that the pleasantries are out of the way... dude... your diet is horrendous. I see protein in 2 meals, and one is by way of a shake.

Please PLEASE do not use the Winny - you have no idea how to diet and the winny isn't going to do jack for you, I promise. You should have a lean protien source in every meal for starters. No more snacks - each meal is a meal. Doesn't mean it has to be huge, in fact it shouldn't be - but it's a meal. A granola bar or raisins doesn't even come close to constituting a meal.

I will post up some useful info when I get home later which will educate you on diet and nutrition. Damienm05 put it together. Perhaps if he reads your thread, he'll post it up.

PS - how can we advise you on calories when we have no idea how many you're eating? You need to figure out macro nutrient info for everything you eat and post it up next time in the form of protein/carbs/fat/total calories.

Thanks for the reply - this is exactly why I am here.

As for calories- from what I had calculated it is about 1800 cal per day. I have been trying to eat healthy and limit calories while taking multi-vitamins. No idea on form of protein/carbs and etc..
Any diet suggestion will be appreciated.

One thing you need to do that will help us figure out how much you should be eating is find your bodyfat percentage. Any gym should be able to do a caliper reading and get it pretty accurate.

Once you have that done, we can revisit the diet.

Well, I certainly don't want you following any of MY diets simply because I customized them for myself, and our caloric requirements could be very different. Having said that, I think it's a decent template for you to work off of to design your own. I've since changed that diet up a bit, but not by too much. Take note of the protein in every meal, the meal timing, etc.

Personally, I like your other look better then this current one you just switched to. Full wood from the latter...
