I'm in Big Trouble and Need Diet Help

[AandF6969]

OK AandF, I really appreciate your input. This is really helpful to me and Im going to start right away. I've been reading the other threads and am starting to see how badly I've been treating my body. Anyhow, I just wanted to ask when you say lean protein what do you mean by that? Do you mean like lean meat like lean ground beef, lean steak, etc? Or am I going in the wrong direction here? My buddy also said I should begin taking daily amounts of flaxseed oil, fish oil, and eating nuts. I just want to make sure I am taking the right steps. Thanks for clearing that up about the BMI and activity factor. - Frank

Even ground beef and lean steak aren't the BEST choices in my opinion... maybe one serving of red meat per day, very lean. When I say lean protein I refer to things like chicken, tuna, tilapia, whey protien, casein, egg whites, etc. Salmon is a great protein source too but it has some fat in it (healthy fat) so it can suffice as a protein/fat meal with some veggies...

A tablespoon of flax seed oil with a whey shake is a great protein fat meal as well. Did you get your BMR?

What is tilapia, whey protein, and casein? Where can I buy this stuff? My BMR is 2388.45....not sure what that means?
