Another Question: Meals

Kaio Posts: 15 Joined: 2004/05/28	2004/07/12, 06:07 AM Im starting a new work out plan soon to help shed some pounds and tone up abit. It involves weight training 5 times a week and hour of cardio 6 times a week. Now my problem is this. I need a good meal plan that is high enough in carbs to give me my energy but still not to low on everything else. I tried the Fitness planner here on the site and came up with 230g of protien,575g of carbs, 44g of fat and 3574 calories (daily for all) will that work out or should i switch to lose more weight and tone quicker?

You are going to spin your wheels, lose muscle and get fatigued if you jump into that much cardio. Give us a little more info to go/ Are you a beginner? have you been working out for a while? Who told you to do that much cardio? What type of weightlifting plan? What do you typically eat? So many variables... -------------- \"Achieving worthwhile goals requires a consistent investment of time and effort on your part....The rewards you receive will be in direct proportion to the consistent effort you put forth.\" Brian Johnston, The Power of The Champions
