I just wanted to get you to take a look at my diet, and tell me what you think ...
I do not know much at all about nutrition and dieting, but I am trying to understand it by reading on here. I am or was the type of person who could eat as much as I wanted, and it did not matter what I ate, and I would not gain weight.
I joined this forum, and learned that I was not eatting right, and was also not taking in hardly any protein at all.
My wife has made some changes to our diet, and I have already seen improvements. My abs are showing, and I lost most of the fat that I got on my obliques.
I have also recently joined fitday.com, and I now can see how much fat and calories and crabs i am taking in.
What I am looking to do is to get up to 180lbs by Christmas. I am currently at 171lbs now. I am wanting to gain lean body mass.
I know that my diet is still out of wack, but trust me, it is alot better than it used to be.. Below is the info I have gathered from fitday.com over the last 4 days.
Please take a look, and tell me what you think I need to do to get to goal I have set for myself. I appreicate any help you have to offer. And yes, I will continue to read and learn and to search so that I can get better at this.
Total 2892 Calories Average
Fat 137 Grams 1233 Cals 43%
Carbs 279 Grams 1019 Cals 36%
Protein 152 Grams 610 Cals 21%
I am not that smart at this , I am guessing I need to cut the fat intake down, and increase the Protein more.... ( Not sure )
I am not sure about this, Do I need to cut the fat way down, or keep it in to help gain weight ? Or will that give me the wrong kinda weight ( FAT )? From some of the threads I have read, I am guessing I need to take in 3000 calories a day to gain the weight I am looking for as long as its the right foods ?
Oh yeah, More about me.
I am 5ft 10 or 11 inches tall
171 lbs
Small bone structure
38yrs old
