Hi everyone. After months of lurking on this message board and debating on whether to post a log or not post a log, I decided to bite the bullet and jump into it.
I am currently getting back on the fitness bandwagon in full force and am in need of some of your wonderful advice for nutrition and fitness. So here a a summary of my current stats:
180lbs, 5'5, and I don't know my body fat yet (should discover this by next week).
My goals are to increase muscle mass and drop down to about 130-140
My new training schedule is currently developing. I just joined a gym and will be getting a strength training program next week. However at the moment I have been focused on cardio with a 60min spinning class 2 times per week, 30min of running 1 day a week and a 60min core training 1 day per week.
In terms of meal plan this is where I need the most help. Infact I plugged what I was eating into FitDay.com and found out I eat between 800-1100 calories per day!! I think I need to increase my food intake but I am not too sure how to do this in a healthy way without gaining any weight. I would appreciate it if someone can provide me some advice.
I tried to increase my caloric intake today to 1300 calories but it was hard becuase I was SOOOO full. My meals today consisted of:
Breakfast:
Egg White Omelete with a stick of mozzarella cheese
coffee with milk
Lunch
Tuna Sandwhich with raw veggies
Dinner
Shrimp
Tomato and Cucumber salad with feta cheese and greek dressing
Pita Bread
Snack
Yogurt and Low Fat Granola
I would appreciate it if you can give me any advice!
