Could someone tell me if this sound like a good idea.... - Increase my protien intake - Decrease my Carbohydrate intake - Decrease my fat intake - Run for 20 minutes 5 days a week - Work out for 30 minutes 5 days a week I would like to know if people think this is healthy for me to be doing, and is it ok to run right before my workout. Also, is there a way of finding out how many carbs you use/burn up in a typical day without exersising? Thoughts?

You may need to more clearly come up with your fitness goal in order to do this. Losing 10lbs is pretty vague, to be honest. Try doing a "Fit Buddy" search (link at bottom of the page) on cardio before/after workout. It's a persistent topic with many opinions depending on your goal. With that said, ANYTHING is better than being sedentary. -------------- _Shane I dont have to outrun the bear - just you....
