I have been into bodybuilding for a good number of years(15). Age is 33.
I’m now about 230 pounds in weight but the lean muscle tissue to fat ratio is very dire. (crap)
I think I could do with losing at least 21 to 28 pounds.
Here goes my story:
I work in this isolated business park approx 9 mile (38mins) journey. I am considering riding a bike to work as part of my very extreme cardio mission to drop the pounds. Of course I need to ride back home after work. This = 18 miles per day perhaps 4 days a week. (And lots of hills are involved too.)
I am currently on a low Carb diet and train heavy. Here’s my diet at the moment
8am Breakfast 6 egg whites and Oatmeal.
12-noon Protein shake
2pm Breast of Chicken
5:30pm Finish work
6pm More Chicken Breasts and Drumsticks
9:30pm Gym for an intense workout (45mins)
11pm 5 More Egg whites.
I am worried that when I start to ride my bike that with this new Cardio regime I wont be able to sustain the journey due to a lack of energy. However I still want to drop the pounds. How would you change my diet to accommodate this new training?
If I keep my protein high – I shouldn’t lose much muscle will I?
Should I simply drink a carbo supplement before the journey and stick to the original diet? Will that slow progress?
Thanks in advance for any help you might be willing to give me.
Regards Cool.
