Here is my eating plan for now, been on it for awhile.

Meal 1) 1 cup blueberries, 3oz dry oatmeal, 10 egg whites
Meal 2) 5oz chicken, 2 cups veggies
Meal 3) 5oz chicken, 1 ½ cup brown rice
Meal 4) 6oz buffalo (or 5oz chicken), 1 ½ cup brown rice
Meal 5) 6oz buffalo (or 5oz chicken ), 4 oz steamed potato w/ skin on, 1 cup veggies
Meal 6) 1 cup cottage cheese, 2oz natural unsalted almonds

It takes work -- lots of food prep and it helps to have a deep wallet. I eat about 4 chicken breasts a day and go through a shitload of eggs.

hands down, the best way to increase the metabolism and lose body fat (and keep it off) is by increasing your activity levels along with a small reduction in calories (less than 500/day).

by simply eating regular wholesome foods like vegetables, whole grains, lean protein and healthy fat.....and learning to listen to when your body is actually full instead of overeating....you will lose 1 1/2 - 2 pounds a week and rev up your metabolism by burning 1000/calories a day doing some cardio training. you'll feel stronger, more alert, and want to stick to that program. if you feel like shit when you're trying to lose fat, you're 100% going to gain it all back and then some.

Six small meals a day, each with a serving of high-protein with send your metabolism into overdrive -- you are burning calories without even being active. Then you add a routine of cardio and lifting to that and you're gold.

Be careful though, if you are losing more than 2lbs a week there is a good chance you are not only losing fat but also losing muscle. You need to figure out your ideal caloric intake (based on weight and daily activities) -- if you (or anyone) would like to know how to do this, just request it in this thread and I will help you out.

Broken help me. Im serious.

I weigh 168, 6'0 tall. I used to be pretty muscular at 185, but i stopped lifting for a couple months. Now im getting skinny like a crack head.

How much protein intake, calories, fat should I take daily?

I want to be lean like at 190ish. Im not trying to get blown up like Brock Lesnar. Just more of a lean build. Know what I mean?

Sure man, I am just heading to gym - I will do some math for you when I get back.

Alright Smoker.

So I need from you:

Current weight: 168lbs (if that is correct)
Caloric expenditure from daily activities (ie. work): just tell me if your job is sedentary, office work, some activity or hard labor.
Strength training: number of minutes per week you spend lifting weights.
Aerobic training: number of minutes per week you spend running, biking, sports etc.

Get me those numbers asap and be honest.

Deleted because Captain Retard is a ignorant little fuck with no manners. Have fun being a beanpole you loud mouth little prick.

And Smoker, you should be doing more cardio than 2 hours a week dogfucker. 30 mins a day, its fuck all do it.

And, if you are serious about gaining weight and what you are putting in your body buy a food scale. Sounds gay but you need it.

and to add on to that. At one point I busted my ass for 3 months lifting hard and I didn't even gain any weight. You have to make sure to eat lots and lots of food.

I am starting to eat a lot now and only after 2 weeks I have noticed more of a difference in my body than I did in the 3 months.

I heard too much cardio results in muscle loss. I see huge guys at my GYM who never go on tred mills or anything.

The cardio I do is fine. I sweat my ass off, my legs were sore. Its good right now.

Thats BS, if your goal is to be some giant meathead with no flexibility and a bad heart go ahead.

And your welcome you ungrateful fuck lol.
