I'm 16, weigh 123 pounds, 173 cm height, and goal is to get to 140 pounds. As for nutritions, lately I've been eating a lot more when I found out about the Nutrition Information in the FitTracker website. I'm meeting the daily goals for the consumption of calories and fats (although there's about 30 - 40 grams of excess fat which I'm trying to lower), but for protein, I only meet about half the standard at the end of the night. For today, I got 139 grams of protein, whereas goal is 262 grams. I'm low on money, so I can't afford anything expensive such as whey protein. Is there any good food, fruits, and legumes that are high in protein (and possibly low in fat)?
For physical training, I'm wondering if workout is too simple. This is routine:
Day 1, 3, 5: Dumbbell Hammer Curls
Sets: 3
Repetitions: Continue till fatigue
Weight: 20 lbs
Rest:3 minutes after each set
Dumbbell Bicep Curls

Rest: 3 minutes after each set

Push ups

Repetition: 25, 25, 25, 25, 25 (I try to increase the reps every few days, so the reps vary)
Weight: Bodyweight

Re: Workout Routine Help
If you're looking for good protein / Amino Acid packed foods, that aren't Flesh or Fish, then try Peanuts, Peas, Lentils, Beans, Soy products like Soybeans, Tofu, Edemame, Nattokinase and Tempeh and also things like Mushrooms, Rice, Eggs and Low Fat Cheese.
Re: Workout Routine Help
Thank you for the info. Do you think workout routine is ok?
Re: Workout Routine Help
No, it's too all over the place.
You're doing 7 sets on your Biceps 3 times a week. Even Steroid users on a 5 day split, wouldn't do 21 sets on Biceps in 1 session. Probably no more than 12-15 max I'd imagine.
Wrist Curls are crap, however you do them.
There's no Leg or Chest stuff in there really.
You're going to have to re-evaluate things for now. So i'd take some time to do that

Looks like you've got a tough routine there.

Re: Workout Routine Help
In addition to eating lots of fruit and plant foods, eat cereal regularly. It's very nutritious and relatively easy to afford.
