Help? Am i heading in the wrong direction or should i carry on?

[SelwynGoodman]

Before i start i dont mind criticism, am new to all of this and i just want to learn as much as i can, so i can challenge myself to get to where i want too.

Am age 21, height 5'11 and last time i checked i was 88kg with a bulky muscled physique, i dont know my body fat cause i simply dont know how to find it out, i eat 4 times a day, morning 3 fried egg whites with 2 slices of brown bread, then later on have some fruits, in the afternoon 3 fried egg whites again, then for lunch ill have some plain chicken breast with maybe brown bread or veggies, i dont season any of my food as i dont wanna have sodium in my diet, if am still hungry which i normally am i'll have some fruits again like 2 bananas and an apple, i dont eat after 8 oclock.

For cardio, i run every single day doing 15 min cardio, ill start by walking on the treadmill at a medium speed for 2 min, then jogging at a fast pace for 2 min, then sprinting really fast for 1 min, i repeat that 3X if i feel like i can do more ill keep pushing up the speed am normally covered in sweat after it.

I do muscle training 4 times a week as i dont have a gym pass yet i've been doing it all at home, i have two heavy dumbbells, i do 100 push ups but switching it up each set, I do 10 reps of wide push ups, 10 reps of close hands push ups, decline push ups 20 reps and dumbbell push ups 10 reps, i repeat it 2X, then ill do dumbbell shrugs with a really heavy weight 10 reps of 5 sets(taking a min or 2 to rest), then ill rest and do it again but the second time i do them i do a quick 10 reps of push ups straight after doing each set of shrugs till i finish if that makes an sense and lastly i do dumbbell shoulder press 10 reps for 6 sets (resting1/2min each set)

I drink water and green tea everyday and i have about 7 to 8 hours sleep, i've currently lost alot of size on my stomach and my overall body but i just want to know if am doing it all right or anything i need to change, i know about eating less calories than you burn but i think am already doing that but not counting the calories, am going for the lean ripped look with a big chest shoulders and arms, so what am i doing wrong?

I see alot of people viewing but not saying anything, guys even a quick little tip can help, i dont need a full paragragh or anything, i just need to know cause i dont want to carry this on and found out later on i've been doing it wrong all along

If you are losing weight without counting calories, then you do not need to count them. But if you get to a point where you get stuck and are not losing, I would suggest counting. You never mentioned whether or not you have actually lost weight so I am not sure if that is what you are worried about.

As far as random other feedback:
- no need to refrain from seasoning your food. Sodium is not to be 100% avoided. Processed/prepackaged food tends to be high in sodium but you appear to not eat much of that. Your diet doesn't have to be bland and flavorless to be healthy. Use some salt if you want to.

- do some sort of training for your legs. I don't know what kind of dumbbells you have but look at the Fierce Five dumbbell variation in the Workout Programs section for an example of a good full body program to follow.

You seem to be doing well enough. My only observation for now would be that there seems to be a lot of fruit in your diet, which could be replaced with more proteins.
