Alright thanks. Also I had a bowl of Cheerios Multigrain Cereal and maybe 3/4 cup of milk, it seemed more rewarding then the pizza I had last week.

So there's just not many low carb snacks huh? I may end up cooking and reheating veggies when I'm hungry.

theres fruit.. the carbs have alow glycimic index so its ok and cheese sticks. And you are right, there are not many at all so veggies will give you more energy. Eggs and lean meats are also good because there are no carbs.

Thanks. Cheese could also be a little treat after a workout or something.

Hey man, you only looking to lose weight? Or to lose weight and be more strong?... If you want to lose some weight AND be strong, is going to be hard, but you can do it. Heres a perfect video for you


Dont be afraid of carbs man, eating complex carbs(http://www.2buildmus...uscle-fast.html a good list of complex carbs) will keep you full through the day so you will eat less. Make sure eating a good breakfast rich of protein and carbs(like 50g of carbs and proteins). Dont think you are going to lose like 10 pounds on 1 month, losing weight and gaining strenght is easy with a good diet and exercise

almonds,cashews, macadamias, pistachios,pecans and walnuts to snack on there packed with vitamins and you can sneak in some time as chocolate covered and still be good but be careful the calories really build up fast.

One more thing, with loosing weight, is cals burned per daily exercise + BMR - 500 cals a good plan?

This equation would equate to 1lb of fat lost per week because 1lb of fat=3500 calories which is a typical weight loss plan.

Heres the down and dirty truth with weight loss nutrition. You have 3 basic types of foods proteins, carbs, and fats.

Cutting down on one of those is going to help with weight loss the most. Which one? Fats DUHH! Fatty foods make you fat! Not saying that you can't have any fats at all their are things called essential fatty acids so you should eat some fat just not a whole lot.

Now onto carbs, they are absolutely essential if you are going to be working out and dieting. The problem with carbs is that if you don't work out then it is stored as fat as others have pointed out. Your meal right after working out should contain the highest percentage of carbs out of all of your meals.

Now last but most certainly not least important proteins. My biggest problem while cutting is my appetite, that's where protein steps in it helps to fill you up and keep that full feeling longer. Also it is essential to rebuilding muscle after working out. One of my secrets is to eat some beef jerky before working out because it takes 30-40 minutes for protein to be absorbed and it gave me a little extra boost pre workout. Jerky is also 97% fat free so it's awesome to snack on through out the day.

Hope that helps! And remember keep focused and set short term goals and a long term goal and DO NOT QUIT!

Nothing is good for you these days and i only eat the real stuff, i hate processed. I just love cheese but it hasnt hindered me because i eat very lean meat so overall my daily intake is not high.
