Hi,
Dominik from Perth, Western Australia here!
I have been a unactive member of this forum for some time and never really took a first step, the furthest I got was getting my weight and BMR on paper. I was just to lazy to do it but since I have been a little kid I have wanted to join the Australian specail forces and now I need to take this seriously as you can join when ypu are 19 and I am 18 and 1 month in 10 days.
Heres the drill, I have been saving for a gym membership for a while and am almost there so I can buy it outright as I don't want anyone taking money from my account every month. I will be able to afford it in like 2 weeks at the latest.
I will have to pay for my own food as my dads attidtude is "you get what is in the fridge and what I make for dinner" but he always says I should loose weight and calls me fat, yer some motivation.
I also need to buy my own small fridge as there will be no room for food in the family fridge and my dads a stooge so I have to pay for the power, grrr!
I can get my gym by 7am in the morning (they are a 24hr gym, CBD gym in perth city) as I rely on busses to get to the city, be it cardio or weight I should be in and out within a hour and 15 right?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The rest -
I am 110kg (242.5 lb) at 185cm tall and don't have a clue as to what my BF% is but I have to say 30%+. When I join up at my gym I can get free health assesment when ever I want as it is included in the expensive cost ($880 AU) so I will get my BF% then.
According to Dr. Hussmans calculator (
http://www.hussman.org/fitness/bmrcalc.htm) my MBR is 2085 with one formula and 2228 with the other. He says to target at 1670 - 2290 calories a day for weight loss. He says that with daily energetic workouts I will burn 3130 as long as you are still active but I am a ful time student so am not going to be that active latter in the day so he says subtact 10% so that makes my daily burn 2817 and with a 1000 calorie deflict that bring me to 1817 calories a day. To me that sould good, what do you guys think?
He also say to stick to low GI foods except after work outs, what does this mean and what are low GI foods, like pasta and rice? and fruit is high GI, thats just a random guess.
Would a 40/40/20 ratio work with 1.2g of protien per pound of muscle work? the dr hussama program estimated 170 lb muscle as i put 30% as body fat.
I have one last question, I will not be able to have a sit down breakfast if I hit the gym at 6 days a week at 7am as I will be out of the house at 6am to get to the gym. What would a good breakfast be as cold oatmeal does not sould appealing, hard bolied eggs cooked last night with toast or something, suggestions?
What about supplements? or whould they be a waste of money at this stage?
The most easy meal for lunch would be a tuna/chicken/red meat sandwich. Is this ok? what bread should I use?
One last additon, I will be drinking Yerba Mate, there was a post in the fat loss section stating how good it was. I founc a 76 yr old who selling it and says they or extremly health due to th drink and would be in the **** other wisem so im gonna down 3 cps of that a day atleast.
Sorry for the lenght but I am a newbie and am clueless!
