TABU's Journal

[TABU]

Being a big fan of BB.com and exercise and fitness, thought I would start a journal here.

My immediate goal is to have ABS with definition and 10 percent body fat or below.

My long term goal would be to add some more mass while keeping body fat low.

CURRENTLY : 5'7" 154 pounds 17 percent body fat (as measured by TANITA scale)

I've had some trouble finding a diet that works well, I eat pretty healthy though.

These past few weeks, I've found a way of eating that has let the body fat percentage drop while keeping strength and energy up.

High protein, low carb and moderate fat.

Also, I don't do the 6 meals a day thing.
BREAKFAST (after workout) : protein shake

LUNCH : piece of chicken and some fruit

DINNER : huge salad with protein
Vegetables and protein
More protein

It's between 1800-2300 calories a day depending on how hungry I am at dinner.

I have a bad habit of snacking late at night that I am going to break.

Workouts:
Tues: Chest and Triceps , 30 minutes stationary bike
Wed: Abs, 30 minutes treadmill
Thurs: Biceps and Back, 30 minutes stationary bike
Fri: Abs, 30 minutes treadmill
Sat: Legs and Shoulders
Sun: calisthenics, jogging
Mon: yoga class

I suggest not working out in a fasted state. Catabolism will set in. Ie. It will be impossible to get some mass doing this. The rest of your diet also needs work. Check out the Nutrition thread for some advice
