Review My Diet for Weight Loss and Muscle Gain?

What’s this week’s weight loss question? Let’s dive straight in…

Question: 7am pre workout oatmeal with protein and peanut butter
10am post workout protein shake with water ,fruit
12 am half a sandwich
3pm other half
5pm meal replacement shake
7pm protein shake with milk
also i forgot i workout 6 days a week
Answer: This is way below the number of calories you need to increase your metabolism, you will only lose muscle mass on this diet not fat.

Eat 5-7 small meals a day, it’s better to get your protein from lean meats instead of solely from shakes. I would have 1 shake a day and eat more chicke, tuna, almonds, and turkey.

You want about 1g of protein per lb of lean muscle mass that you have.

I’m a beachbody fitness coach from the guys that make P90X, whatever you do don’t listen to the first post!
Also make sure the bread is whole wheat. Cut out sugar and drink plenty of water.

Don’t eat a lot of carbs and make sure the ones you do are complex carbs.

Carbs have nothing to do with growing muscle it just controls the energy that you have, but bad carbs will make you gain fat.

I was on a low carb diet for 6 months and gained more muscle and lost more fat than I ever have.

  1. Too much protein, not enough carbs

    for one, working out uses a lot of energy and if you don’t have any carbs in your diet your body will go for your muscles. Also, your body can’t process that much protein at once anyway so taking in so much is pointless.
