Diet/Supplements 101... help pls- I have no idea what I'm doing!!
I want to build muscle on my body, but I have fat on my arms, butt/lower back that I need to get rid of also. Right now I'm 110bls w/ 18% bodyfat.
Should I be taking protein and lifting, or doing mainly cardio first to get the fat off and THEN gain the muscle? From what I've seen, I've thought about using protein and NO-Explode- but what vitamins, and where do I add/substitue the protein? Here's the diet I plan on following once I get back in the states (I'm in Korea for the next two weeks and ironically enough living off of chinese and japanese food... sure I could make my own, but I'm just going to enjoy it for now.)
-8 AM breakfast
Organic oatmeal
Banana
Grapes
Decaf w/ milk
-10 AM snack
4 Ritz wheat crackers w/ 1 tbsp natural peanut butter
Apple
Green salad w/ almonds and natural ranch (mono and polyunsat. fat- no sat/trans)
*morning workout - pilates 1/2 hour
-1 PM lunch
Tuna on wheatbread w/ 1 tbsp mayo
Orange
Raisins
-3 PM snack
carrots and celery w/ ranch
grapes
almonds
*evening workout - 1/2 hour cardio, 1 hour weight training
-6 PM dinner
grilled chicken breast
broccoli
wild rice
small glass red wine
It does seem like I eat a lot, but I'm supposed to eat every 2-3 hours because I'm hypoglycemic :/ This is in addition to 80 oz. water.
What should I change about this, and where would I put in supplements? Any general info would help, I really know nothing about any of this. Thanks!!
