Anyone got a good diet that they use for doing weights at the gym. I seem to be short on energy and tired.

What are you looking to do at the gym? Build muscle? Bulk up a little?

If your serious about lifting and building muscle then I'd suggest bulking. The carbs will keepmty energised, and the protein will build muscle.

This is my diet for 1 day;

Breakfast;

2 services or porridge, pint of milk with 2 proton scoops and 3 eggs

Snack;

100g chicken with light Mayo and spinach

Lunch;

300g of chicken, 2 servings of basmati rice and 100h of green beans

Snack (pre work out)

Peanut butter and jam sandwich on wholemeal bread, 1 orange and 2 bananas

Dinner;

300g of chicken, 2 servings of basmati rice and 200g of broccoli

Bedtime snack;

80g porridge oats, 2 scoops of whey isolate, pint of milk, tub of Greek yogurt

Have fun

Nope. Food will help. If you're not energised you're not eating right.

If you are exercising you need calories. You need to eat to lose weight.

You want to loose a few pounds of you want to cut belly fat?

Both are two different things but LIFTING weights will help you do that. Crunches will not help you cut belly fat. Good core strengthening exercises will (bench, deadlifts and squats)

Say if you're 12stone. 12stone with low bodyfat % and muscle will look a hell of a lot different than 12stone with high bodyfat %. So i'd suggest on building muscle.

If yo want to loose weight but build muscle then calculate your TDEE and work of a 500calorie deficit. BUT concentrate on your protein macros for building muscle

All = gains

What's the best exercise for loosing love handles?

"What's the best exercise for loosing love handles?"

Your diet will dictate that more.

But core exercises mate. The amount you burn when squating and deadlifting is far superior to any cardio work. Plus it strengthens your core. You be amazed doing a SL 5x5 program how much you

Gain (muscle) and loose (fat)

A good core is a foundation for lifting.

"Anyone got a good diet that they use for doing weights at the gym. I seem to be short on energy and tired."

I used to body build for over 10 years and I always had a small pasta snack 2 hours before training and a carbohydrate drink an hour before, then another small pasta meal after training along with Amino acid tablets every 3 hours while being awake and just water while in the gym.

That method did me well

Overall I'd probably eat something at least 6 times a day.

When I was powerlifting I found that the biggest culprit for me not having enough energy was usually lack of sleep.

I tended to find this in my clients too (I am a qualified personal trainer who used to work with bodybuilders and powerlifters).

Most bodybuilders and powerlifters think that the answer to almost everything is to feed themselves more, or more often. Sometimes it's the very simple things that are actually the culprit.

Eat about 800g chicken for protein, that gives you about 230g protein and keep carbs to 400g and drink 3 to 4 litres of water aday, check out kali muscles on utube for inspiration.

Mate you gotta research for yaself it's the only real way ,get your funfimentals ie maintnace calories , try scoobys calorie calulatar , and also download my fitness pal to track your macros and keep count of calories . listen to your body and find out what works for YOU,I'd say same as above carbs or sleep is lacking , or maybe sugar comedowns ???anyway it's not going to change over night be consistent remember to enjoy it or it's pointless , enjoy your journey and I hope you reach your goals.

Agree with that- I'm on a coaching program at the moment, and my pt is constantly telling me: eat more protein and sleep more. I'm in bed by about half ten every night... Don't know how much more I can sleep!!

800g of chicken is like, almost 2000 calories alone. That's before you have *anything* else.

Protein isn't the be-all and end-all. I was powerlifting and building *lots* of muscle when I was vegetarian and eating minimal amounts of protein - I'm allergic to most types of protein, I can eat very little.

You simply do not need as much protein as the bro-scientists say you do.

Cos you need to create an anabolic environment in your body, so you would need 1.5g proteins times your body weight. I eat so much cos I like to eat and my appetite is big and I like the fullness you get of a days eating of all the carbs to.

Yes you get about 2000kcal of that amount of chicken, so toghether I eat around 4000kcal aday and that means I am in surplus calories by +1500 for

muscle building as its above maintenance.

Meh.... I eat porridge and/or fruit for breakfast,

only do protine shakes for half the year... When training hard,

eat what I like at weekends.

Don't bulk, just hit your natural level.

If you produce more muscle than you can easily mantain and live your life, you will regret it.
