well...i'm trying to drop about 82lbs...im 282.2, and i want to be 200...after posting once already (with little response) and some research, I have come up with a meal plan (and variations thereof) and I would like some feedback...
Meal Plan
------------------------------------
5:30AM - 3 egg whites, 1 whole egg, 1tbsp flax oil, 2 slices whole wheat toast, protein shake w/ 8oz skim milk, and 16oz water.
8:30AM - protein bar (homemade or packaged)
11:30 - yogurt? maybe a fruit as well...
2:00PM - turkey, chicken, with salad etc. (real lunch)
5:00PM - pre-workout meal - salad, 6oz ground beef w/ (sweet potato, brown rice maybe?)
5:30PM/6:00PM - Workout...approx 1.5hr-2hr total including cardio...
7:30/8:00PM - post-workout meal - protein shake, what do i eat now? (this is where i get confused)
Will this work for me? and what changes could I make to improve? I get confused in the pre and post workout meals...Again, I'm trying to lose weight, so im working with cutting calories, or atleast burning more...What my main goal right now is to go shopping sunday and get enough of everything to last me the week (atleast) so i can setup my day's meals without error...please, any feedback would be greatly appreciated...
my meal variations would just basically be swapping ground beef, for chicken, or vice versa, maybe trading off a potato for something else etc...
