In Need of Some Diet and Cardio help

[sw0097]

Im a college student which sucks cause I think everything at the cafeteria is deep fried other than the salad bar, deli, and burgers. I got the typical belly and side fat that i want rid of. What cardio should I do to still maintain mass and strength but to lose this ugly crap around my belly. Can someone give me and idea as to a good diet also. Its tough when money is limited and so is healthy foods.

I eat on a college meal plan also, I make sure i do cardio at least after every lifting session(3x a week) and drink only vodka on the rocks at the bars.

I usually get turkey or chicken wraps on wheat with no sauce or a little bit of mustard or hot sauce, tomatoes for flavor.

Stay away from the fried shit, if u have to eat fatty shit make it after ur workout, lots of shakes, hard boiled eggs, etc

good luck any questions let me know

oh and ur dining commons usually might have buffet style food? These places usually have grilled chicken/baked c hicken buffet style.

Yes its no fun at all to go into the dining commons and stock ur plate with shitty grilled chicken which is overcooked and has no flavor while ur friends put chicken parm subs/cheesesteaks/frenchfries/mozzerrella sticks/wings on thier plate and then stuff it down with ice cream while u may finish off ur plate with a protein shake at home, but i look at the girls i bring home and the girls they bring home and it makes everything worth it

I dont have much of a diet lol i just try and stay away from fried garbage if i can although i do eat a few fries once in a while. My training routine consists of monday/chest, tuesday/biceps, wednesday/tris, thursday/shoulders, friday/legs. Is that what you wanted?

 

[B0ARDIN087]

in my opinion for someon in college who is likely trying to experience full body growth, u should do a more total body split, a day for bis and a day for tris is rediculous in my opinion

And away we go....

Diet is the key. To gain muscle you need to eat BIG. Can you eat every 2.5 hours? You need a high protein/high carb meal (shake?) after you workout and a meal 1 hour after that. We're talking lots of protein. Protein should come from:

Lean meat (chicken, turkey, lean beef)
Egg whites (3-1 ratio white to yolk)
Protein powder (post workout or if you CAN'T get a regular meal)

If you grill the meat (did some1 say Foreman Grill?)you can marinate it to get some flavor. Or you can use condiments that have low sugar.

Carbs should come from red potatoes (NOT FRIES), yams, sweet potatoes, plain oatmeal. Rotate carbs every other day. Meaning eat carbs/protein every meal one day, veggies/protien the next, etc.

Your fats should be good fats, unsalted peanuts, unsalted almonds, all natural peanut butter. For a college guy on the go make a few PB&J sandwiches and take 'em with ya during the day. And that means sugar free jelly, all natural PB and multi grain bread.

Aviod frozen foods cuz of the sodium, avoid sugar and salt.

Drink lotttttts of water.

I know it's tough but booze has all empty calories. There is no benefit to drinking but if you're in college I think it's a rule.

EAT EAT EAT!!

As far as your workout, you're over training. 3 days on off. Also, where is your back day? Train PROPERLY, check your ego @ the door.It's not about how much weight you can load up and move the wrong way. Train with a weight you can move with the right form.

To maximize cardio, I do it 1st thing in the AM on an empty stomach. This will burn fat. To prevent burning any muscle, I recommend BCAA's B4 and after cardio.

Other supps for you?
Multi Vitamin
Creatine
Glutamine
BCAA's


I think I got most of it, if you need any more help or if any of this doesn't make sense, keep asking...

Anytime kid. Please feel free to PM me if you ever need more help..

You can split up bi's and tri's if you want, different things work for different people.

Also, DO NOT use a belt to dead lift. Unless you're Ronnie you're not dead lifting enough to require a belt. A belt is a crutch that will just ultimately make your back weaker.

thanks a lot EZ, I was always told to wear a belt but hated too cause it would dig into my gut and make me feel sick.

 

[callmeTATER]

i agree on not wearing belts... too many folks wearing extra gear, i.e. wraps, bench shirts, belts..means their body cant handle the weight they are trying to move IMO.

I'm sure you've been told a lot of falicies.

Every Johhny No Education who flips thru an issue of
Muscle & Fiction thinks he can preach about do's and don not's on the gym floor. You need only to listen to the guys on EF.

The next time anyone tells you to use a belt, you strangle him with it.
