This is fine mate but go easy on the Tuna... whilst is loaded with protein, too much Tuna can be pretty harmful.

Calorie wise, be careful with the baked beans.

A good mix of fibre and protein.

Such a pity they don't sell Egg Whites in a carton in England.

You don't know what you're on about. He's completely fine with his Tuna. It's only if he's eating fish that's been swimming around in mercury that intake becomes a problem.

Also, they do sell egg whites in cartons in England. Go to Musclefoods, you'll find some there.

Cheers, that's good to hear.

I don't really eat much tuna but for now and for the next 5 months I'm out of the house for about 10 hours a day so I have to take massive packed lunches out with me, which limits what I can eat during the day. I can't afford to be buying lunch out either really.

I thought you could get egg whites? I'm sure I've seen them on Myprotein.com. Speaking of which, I need to get some more protein. I finished the last of mine today.

Oh God yes. Unless you're training specifically for a sport I wouldn't do 6-7 days of anything. A 4 day split is more than enough for you. Look a couple up. You'll probably find that you'll perform better on your days due to the decrease in volume and get much quicker results.

Just thought. One of my mates is doing a programme that is 6 days a week with every session being at least an hour, and he's seeing great results. I think I'll carry on experimenting for now and see what suits me. At the moment I'm quite lean but also quite toned and I quite like it!

Bruce/other cyclists are you on Strava?

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Right, back. 7.5km in 35 mins, new record, woop!

So funny... I remember two weeks ago on my first run I went to the Olympiapark... was knackered after one mile.

Since then I've found a new run, same distance.

Tonight went back to the Olympiapark... did the whole 4.5miles without stopping or slowing once. So good, feel great.

Now for some food.

By the way, I notice you blue4eva77 said you have a scoop of protein powder mixed in with your breakfast - what is the main benefit of this? And what other supplements are recommended?

My only goal of this get-fit plan is to lose weight and get a flat stomach, if it helps you point me in the right direction of something!

Nice one lads.

Just out of interest, would it be a good or bad idea to double up on weights sessions? Sometimes I go in the morning and then by the evening I want to go again. I try to go more or less every day but sometimes I miss a day and feel like I've got to make up for it.


.

If you wanna build muscle the key is the recovery stage, basically when you lift your tearing the muscle fibers and it grows back stronger which equats to more strength and size, overdoing it leads to injury and fatigue.

What i do, if i do a heavy lifting session, the day after ill do me cardio or leg day so im getting a days rest inbetween muscle groups. The right supplements help alot too

Madison's probably your man for weights stuff. I don't tend to do much these days, just enough to stop looking like Wiggins.

Nice one lads.

All my meals are protein based and the protein powder not only gives me a ton of protein but flavours my breakfast at the same time. Natural oatmeal (porridge) oats, which apart from having a decent amount of protein, tastes like crap but its very healthy. A protein diet is essential for the body to build muscle, muscle burns fat.... pretty simple really.

Well, I'm not eating baked beans again for a while. They're SO sweet, it's like eating a bag of Haribo!

Actually Haribo is good for you when you're doing a carb surge, but that's a story for another day

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

I eat a lot of the following in my diet

Chia seeds - great source of fibre, protein, potassium, and omega 3 - mix it in with porridge or in shakes or on salads
Nuts - Walnuts, Brazils, Almonds. Full of good fats, and lots of protein
Quinoa - an uber protein food, it contains all 7 amino acids that are essential for muscle repair
Sweet Potatoes - Fibre and protein, I find I now prefer the taste to regular spuds
Coconut oil - great for maintaining a fast metabolism/fat burning
Meat - chicken, Turkey, and at least 2 Rib-eye steaks a week.
Full fat natural greek Yoghurt - yum
Most green veggies

I work to a 4-day training cycle

Day 1 Morning - Cardio/Circuits....30 minute blast
Day 1 Evening - Upper Body - 1 hour

Day 2 Morning - Cardio/circuits....30 minute blast
Day 2 Evening - Abs - 1 hour

Day 3 Morning - Go for a run about 3-5 miles
Day 3 Evening - Lower Body - 1 hour

Day 4 Rest day

Rinse and repeat
