I've always been stocky/a little chubby type. I'm 24 years old, kind of short about 5'8 and always had a stocky build but never cut..always lifted on/off.. over the past year i've gotten more serious and have made a big change in my type of body by dieting really well and doing cardio with my weight training. My weight used to generally be around the 185 range and i had a rounded look and now i've cut down to 165-170 range. I dont have a six pack and i'm def not ripped yet but i've toned up all over. Still have little love handles and a flat but semi chubby stomach. I'm happy i've came very far with hardwork. I'm going for the lean/cut/in good shape look now which i never have so i'm confused at the point i'm at now on what to do..my results have def slowed up now with the fat loss its at the point where its getting tough i'm 165 pounds i kind of hate being so light bc i'm used to feeling big and sturdy but i do look a lot better. my question is how much more weight am i going to have to drop to get my skin tight and those abbs showing more, and am i on the right path to get there? or should i change things a little ?
ive cut down my diet little by little and starting from april 1st my diet is as follows:
carbs only in the morning (oat meal) and post workout (baked potato), and every five or six days i'll carb up eating some more carbs that day or another baked potato at night.. no protein shakes.. i try to get my protein strictly from foods and since i dropped the shakes i feel tighter and better bc they always felt wierd in my stomach, and trying to stay low dairy no cheeses, etc.
*My basic daily meal plan looks like this: (i eat every 3 hours)
1. Breakfast: 5 eggs (2 yellows, 3 whites) and a cup of oatmeal (around 9 am)
2. 1 and a half cans of tuna with celery, a tbsp of extra virgin and red wine vinnagerette (12 noon)
3. Same thing as number two. Or grilled chicken with broccoli rabbe (around 3pm)
Go to the gym around 4ish..weight train for an hour..then do cardio either 20 mins of hiit on the tredmill or if my legs are soar i usually do the elliptical for about 30-45 minutes (sometimes an hour) medium pace, also throw in some fast pace in there and some slow pace every once in a while)
4. post workout, A lean meat like chicken or a fish (i am for 6-8 oz of the meat), mixed veggies mostly broccoli or asparagus, and a baked potato
5. Then around 9 oclock if i'm out i'll grab an egg white omellete with some spinach and turkey in it, or if i'm home and have some chicken left over have that..something light
If i go to sleep early (11 or before) i end the eating at meal 5 but if im up a little later i'll have some low fat cottage cheese, or a handfull of mixed almonds right before bed..
*WHAT DO YOU THINK? I workout about 4 days a week and do cardio 2-3 hours per week. AM i on the road to getting ripped? Should i just keep at it or change something and up the cardio?? Like my weight got real low and i still feel i got some fat beneath my skin. Some experienced input would be highly appreciated . WHen i wake up in the morning i look/feel lean and my skin looks tight then by night it looks loose/a little hangy and i feel i still have a long way to go. Do i just keep aiming to lower bf to help this?
