Your calories are way too low and your body will stall with progress for sure. You need to up everything protein, clean carbs and healty fats. Each meal should consist of a protein, carbs and healty fats spread throughout the day. Here's a list of foods that will help: Protein - egg whites, tuna, fish, chicken, turkey, 90% lean red meats, lean ham, pork loin, lofat milk, lofat cottage cheese, protein shakes, protein bars Clean Carbs - brown rice, wheat pastas, whole grain breads, potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams, lofat yogurt, oatmeal, oat or bran cereals, (ie cheerios) reduced fat wheat thins, reduced fat tricuits, baked chips, natural popcorn, fruits, some veges Healty Fats - Olive oil, canola oil, flaxseed oil, fish oil, peanut butter, nuts, egg yolks, lofat dressings, lofat mayonaise |
I see a lot of people putting asparagus in their diets but I cant figure out why everybody does. What are some good fruits and veggies to put in my diet?
|
bananas...apples...any type of beans...corn...spinach...
|
I need to diversify my fruit & veggie. I eat about 5-6 crowns of broccoli a week and about a dozen bananas each week. I think broccoli is one of the more nutrient-rich vegetables.
As far as vegetables, I would recommend spinach, broccoli, tomatoes, and carrots or squash. That would be awesome if you ate all of those. For fruits...bananas, blue berries, apples, and oranges. That would be a super mix also. But there are so many other combinations & choices. Really, the sky is the limit...make sure you get a good variety. That's the important thing. Every food has unique nutritional values, so eating a select few will not optimize your health. :) |
i love baby spinach....a little italian dressing....mmmm.

What is your activity level?
If you're nearly sedentary, then those numbers will be good. |
I lift from around 6:30 to 7:30 in the morning. Its a hardcore lift not big rests between lifts along the line of burnouts. Sit in school for a 4 or so hours then go to work which I'm on my feet from 4:00 to about 9:30-10:00 and sweat a bit.

You'll need to increase calories again in a week or so....1800-1900 cals is just too low. The last diet that you outlined isn't bad, but it's a little thin on quantity.
