[scarface8041]

Hey bro I'm 5'5 175 lbs and I'm trying to shred fat so I can get a six pack at the end of this. I finished week one and my stomach looks the same and sometimes worse.1st meal is egg whites and 3 oz of ham. 2nd meal is a protient bar. 3rd is a tuna fish sandwich w/ a lot of lettuce on wheat bread. Then I work out.after that I drink a recovery drink. Then eat a chicken breast w/ brocoli maybe 2 hours later... Am I doing somthing wrong here? Pease help!!!

hey I have a question, is resting a whole body thing or muscles. I am wondering if you work out in a gym all week on the weekend should you do sit ups or something if you havent worked that particular muscle recently or if it feels ok and not sore at all?

[aaahhhhaaaahhhh]

good tips, bro I eat 5 meals a day of 400 - 460 calories a day is this good or bad? im 5 ' 9 159 LBS

I do 60 - 80 minutes of cardio 5 x a week

and weight training; a different muscle group a day.

[dude04345]

I think you should eat more. With as much activity as you say you do you are probably burning in excess of 1200+ calories a day just from the fitness. If your anything like me you could get away with eating 3500-4000 a day easy.

[aaahhhhaaaahhhh]

Damn, I might gain weight tho cause ive been eating around that for a while (2000 - 2300)...I guess ill increase slowly 200 cals extra starting tomorrow and the rest of the week and Ill increase another 200cals the week after this one...Thanks!

[nubbs]

dude, stop schilling for p90x, unless they pay you to do this, in which case divulge that info

you do not need to spend any money on anything p90x related (except their pull up bar) to successfully get fit and look beach ready

just do your research

i eat half a cup of cottage cheese 1:30 before bed since cottage cheese is easily digestible and has around 15g of protein

[dude04345]

That's not a bad late night snack - Is it whole, low-fat, or fat free?

[serzh123aaa]

low fat

[PhatVick]

how do you calculate how much you burn everyday? how many calories should the plyometrics DVD burn and how many calories do you burn by just sitting around?

[dude04345]

Well that would vary - I'm actually in the process of figuring out how many calories you burn during a Plyo work out - This of course caries based on the level of intensity. Resting level you probably burn somewhere around 1500 calories in your normal body functions throughout the day.

[SKITTLEZprodigy]

Ok. well i've completed my third week and i haven't lost any weight. my starting weight was 170, and i'm still 170. should i be concerned? and should i repeat phase one before continuing on to phase 2?

[dude04345]

Nah just move onto phase 2 - How much weight are you trying to lose?

[PhatVick]

I'm trying to be 150 pounds. I haven't lost any weight, but i've seen very slight results within my first month. Should i do extra side workouts other then just the P90X workouts. i've been running 2 miles the day that i've been doing yoga, but i haven't been getting the results i want.

[ballanumber1]

i need help man ... ok so im skinny ... im like 5' 9'' and im weight 130 pounds ... im like bonny... so i donno what to eat. Why cant i just eat whatever since im skinny, dont i need lots of food? and should i drink the whey protein shake everyday i was thinkin 1 glass each day for 90 days?

im 19 by the way

lookin forward for u reply

[dude04345]

You need to consume lots and lots of calories - Your body has an incredibly high metabolism and requires constant nutrition and attention to build and retain muscle. Honestly the only way I can build a huge amount of muscle is if I consume 3k+ in calories every day. Don't eat whatever, eat clean but eat often and lots. I don't mean stuff yourself but consume high calorie foods (carbs) 5-6 times a day - Protein shakes can be a great way to add some extra calories.

16" pizza, all by yourself at 3am and then go to bed, haha... omg, sounds like what I used to do ... Oh, what bad habits we can have :P

[dude04345]

Yeah that was nothing and almost a nightly process! So so so bad. To be honest I should have weighed 200+ pounds but I was fortunate to have a good metabolism

[justinheat4u2]

[dude04345]
