Looking for help concerning cardio

ShooterUK Posts: 53 Joined: 2003/03/23	2008/02/04, 05:32 PM I am 25 yrs. old 6 foot 2 and I weigh around 260 lbs. I have a lot of muscle on my body especially my chest and arms. I have what I like to call a gut unfortunanetly and it seems like as much cardio as I have been doing nothing is seeming to help. I basically eat tuna, fish, grilled chicken, vegetables, and water lots of water everyday. I am trying to shed down to around 210 or so. I run every other day 2 miles, eliptical for 30 minutes the other days. I weight train 4 times a week, benching over 250 for chest, over 45 lbs per arm on curls, I just need to shed this layer of fat off of me. Any expert advice to help me break through this wall?? I can't figure out is wrong, i eat clean, dont drink, work out like a machine, I know my thyroid is fine because i had a test done last year about it. Any suggestions would be great. Thank you.

Once I counted and kept track I realized it was closer to 5000 and up.....I suggest you keep a food diary for a few days to a week. Be honest count it all and see what the calories are comng from and what they are. I bet it is more than you think. -------------- FOR MY WIFE: Her little ring was a little thing but it was all that i could afford now shes mine all mine till the day i die and i never wanted nothing more 7707mutt@freetrainers.com
