Starting my summer cut early, been solidly exercising for the past 10-12 days, before that I did a couple days of cardio a week.
Starting out I just made it my goal to not miss one workout period, if my diet was flawed I have the time to make it up.
So, since Tuesday I've been 7.5-8/10 with this diet (slipped up a couple times)
Meal 1: 2 Scoops Whey/Multivitamins/3g fish oil or 3 scrambled eggs/1 piece of whole wheat toast with multi/3g fish oil
Meal 2: Either these grilled chicken pieces 80 calories/18g of protein for 1, I have 2 in a multigrain bun or I have a decent amount of whole wheat crackers with lean turkey, ham and Swiss cheese
Meal 3: (If PWO)- 2 Scoops Whey- If not whey some fruit, need more protein here I believe
Meal 4: Grilled chicken with rice or Shrimp with some sort of carb or Lentils and grilled chicken + multi/3g fish oil
Meal 5: (If PWO)- 2 Scoops Whey
Meal 6: Usually just a granola bar or something, just a small snack if I'm hungry going to change this to a protein shake probably or add a protein shake to that
Would be a good plan but I cheat a few times a week, tonight I had some popcorn in place of meal 6, rest was solid for example. I'm usually good 4 out of 5 meals.
I haven't really been calorie counting but in terms of protein I get 100g just from shakes a day on workout days, another 75+ from foods, more than enough
My workout split is 3 days of low volume weights (I don't have much, workout from home), I have 3 designated days of cardio (2 days of HIIT, 1 of 60 minute endurance) I add cardio when and wherever I can, for example after Thursday's weights I did an extra 40 minutes of interval training at a moderate intensity.
Hiit was done at 30 minutes for this duration but I am going to up at least one of those days to 40 minutes next week
5'9 178, about 12 pounds over where I should be, pretty much due to laziness
Sorry for wall of text, thanks Raynor
My goal is also to get to a single digit body fat percentage for the summer, will upload a picture a few weeks into cutting
I made a thread, but I thought I would also post this here. I would love your opinion
Thanks in advance
Continue current diet and exercise routine, however it would greatly benefit you to do a 2nd 20-25 minute workout on each of those 6 total days (a 2-a-day style). The 2nd workout should be either some bodyweight exercises or a full body cardio type routine. A good example would be below:
