wts - your better off using the same wt for all sets and aiming for 3 x 12, working up to it by increasing reps per set each session if need be...this will increase total wt lifted...what exercises and / or split are you using?
cardio - cut to 10 - 20mins but do interval style alternating easy and hard 1min intevals
diet - no veggies and no fruit????...are you having anything straight after workout??? you need carbs as well mate |

for biceps ill do either hammer curls, concentration curls, normal bicep curls or barbelle curls. Usually on 15kg a arm.
for triceps ill do either tricep curls one or two handed usually 10-12.5kg a arm.
for back i will do either barbell rows 12.5kg, single arm dumbell rows 12.5kg, seated cable rows.
for shoulders ill do either shoulder press 26kg, machine deltoid military press 30kg.
for chest ill do either bench press 40kg, incline bench press 40kg or bench press machine.
I do 3x reps on each body part
Ill aim too do my workout before a planned meal e.g lunch, for snacks i have fruit, i eat bread for lunch and cereals for breakfast usually, i have the majority of my vegetables at dinner and usually strachy carbs such as potatoes too. |

- you need to move more wt...your doing the samemwt for db rows as for curls which should be easily double your curl wt i would think...focus on the exercices the will get the job done...learn to squat and deadlift should be your main focus for now
- 1st meal can be high in carbs but what you have is alright
- 2nd meal to be fruit and solid protein
- train
- as soon as your last rep is completed have a protein shake...you can add more carbs here too and you should...i have a protein shake and a bowl of rice bubbles...you need sugar here so this is the time to have it to limit spillover into fat stores
- 4th meal you some carbs as well but probably half of what you had last meals so a meat, salad sandwich and veggies is a solid option
- the remaining meals should be solid protein, veg and salad only |

My take on this is as follows.
If you're going to have such a breakfast, Grill Sausages, to avoid a lot of Fat retention, that Frying will give you.
Same with Bacon, cut rind off, and Grill.
Eggs. Take out of this. I'll explain why later. Your Protein intake is looking quite high from the remaining food choices anyway.
Bloodsugar Spike looks low here so you need something high GI. You're only going to get Carbs realistically off the Baked Beans.
Baked Beans are Haricot, higer GI than most, but to even get a Glycemic load off them, you'd need about 1.5 Cans, roughly 65 Carbs, which is a heck of an amount of Carbs. 1 can giving you about 16GL.
I would assume you get about 1/2 can with Breakfast, unless you have plates like Tractor wheels .
I would then say you have two options, ot boost up Carbs a bit.
Either a small bowl of Cereal before the Grilled breakfast, or have a couple of slices of Toasted Wheatbread with the Breakfast.
You get roughly 25g Carbs from two good slices, and coupled with your Beans, (I'd go with 1 slices per 1/2 can), so you're probably talking about 54 GI and 45g Carbs roughly, which means a Glycemic Load of 24%, which is High but when Bloodsugar is lowered after waking, you need this to be spiked, as the Brain uses Sugars, and it's just common sense to stabilise Bloodsugar levels more.
Plus the Fibre would be a good idea too, to keep you regular, and give you better digestive health.
Meal 2. Don't go for the Sandwich option.
You could still have Cheese for things like Calcium, Vit D, Protein, etc etc, and keep it low Fat, as low Fat has about 50% Saturates, 50% Unsaturates, and only 5-8 g Fats per OZ, if remembered correctly.
I would go for some Fruit here, and I think a Banana is a good Choice. About 28-30g Carbs for a big one, plus about an additional 5g from the Cheese.
Give the Fruit about 10-15 minutes, to start digesting, then eat Cheese.
If you're eating ths after a workout, then you would be advised to get a little Simple Carb, but you don't need much, so have about 1/2 scoop Protein powder, so you get a small quantity of something like Maltodextrin, or whatever high GI energy sugar is in it, and then just have 30 grams Cheese protein as usual later on after fruit. Total Protein roughtly 50g.
Do it this way. 1/2 scoop Powder / Fruit / 10-15 minutes later Cheese.
This is okay, as the gap between Fruit and Cheese allows Fruit to begin digesting, but a protein shake shouldn't seriously compromise Fruit digestion, being liquid, same as Fruit drinks aren't really compromised when consumed with food.
Also your Bloodsugar spike post-workout, will probably happen quicker that way.
Lunch, 50g Protein may well be too high.
I'd cut back to about 40g, and put in some Carbs. Tuna isn't wonderful for Carbs, plus the Mercury isn't ideal either.
Try this instead. 40g Slice Chicken Protein. 3 small Broccoli Stalks. Cooked would probably be better, but I appreicate Raw can be done also. Then about 10-15 Almonds, just for a bit of Fats, but not many Almonds, incase calories are severely elevated.
Broccoli offers probably the best Carb yield of any leafy Veggie, and especially in Stalk form.
After noon Snack. Don't have a shake. You'll spike Bloodsugar unnecessarily. Low Fat Cheese is an option here again, and again, go for something like a Banana 10-15 minutes pre Cheese.
Dinner don't drink Milk with Flesh, it's not supposedly too great.
Have the Yoghurt instead, and be careful of Carbs here. Carbs are only about 20g, so you might be as well to have something like some Green Beans here, or another Broccoli Stalk, or some Asparagus, something like that with your Flesh.
I also think another Snack later on, (6th meal) would be good.
This is why you kept Eggs out of the Breakfast. You can now have about 4 Whites and a Yolk Scrambled. This was so you didn't have too many Eggs in one day.
I'd be inclined to say, unless you get any negative sleep effects, eating Carb about 1-2 hours before sleep, you can have some.
I would opt for something with less Carbs than usual, as you don't need much, but something like a Tangerine which has about 9g, should be fine.
Again leave about 10-15 minutes before Eggs, and that should be adequate.
Water same as you said.
I don'y think you will have any problems doing this. |
