I'm not trying to 'flame', but are you for real? 1,500 cals and 30 mins cardio + 3 full body workouts per day? If you were 200 lbs, you could burn about 2000 cals per day by doing a workout routine of changing the channel on the tv and stroking your bird.

1 proper full body workout will burn about 600+ cals. You're working too many hours, under too much stress, and in a bad mental place to be attempting anything near what you're attempting.

I'm not bashing you, I feel for you and what you're going to need to do to get back what you lost in time, however, you need to give yourself a break and do some researching on how to properly setup a healthy lifestyle. Research the basics and setup a staple supplement stack, but you're a long way from being in a position to ask questions on supps.

He's right. At your weight at least take in 2500-3000 calories or more(and thats still low)

We aren't flaming you at all, but you are working out too much. 3 total body workouts a day is impossible to keep up. I'd keel over after a few days. If total body is your thing, then keep it to 3 times a week, and as spaced out as possible. 1 on, 2 off. Hit cardio 6 times a week if you want, but don't push yourself past what your body can handle. Diet is going to be the biggest factor in success. If you ask anyone knowledgeable around here, they will tell you that your diet is your biggest ally and worst enemy, depending on your diet. If you really want this, you will start cooking for yourself and learning to eat food cold if you have to. It sounds like it sucks, but trust me I've been overweight before, and that sucks way worse. Junk food starts to make you feel ill though once you cut it out, and your body will get used to real food. Real food makes you feel GOOD.

Just keep a positive mental attitude 100% of the time, even if you feel like ****, keep your head on straight and remember that you are doing this for the most important thing in your life... YOUR LIFE.

We're all here with ya bro, this messageboard helps a lot (at least for me) to keep my head in the game and to not back down/give up on my goals. I wish you the best my friend, if you ever need some encouragement or advice, I'll be keeping an eye on your log.

Cool beans! Now we're talkin'

I wish you all the luck, man. But hey, what the hell is up with the extended run-on sentence? Structure is key to life, bodybuilding, and writing.

a quick question to the guy that said i need to prepare everything. things like lean quisine and soups and stuff is that all really that bad. what about bags of chicken that can be microwaved is there something i am missing on products like these.

At this point, just don't worry to much about sodium, etc. Just look for calories and macronutrient breakdowns (protein/carbs/fat). Later on, we'll worry about sodium content and all the other little things. Take it slow.

thanks man its hard to have all your meals planned when you wake up and realize that you have to be at work in an hour and work is 45 mins away. i am working one job in two locations some times in the same day, and then another is 12 hour shifts for three days. i am trying my best to keep busy to keep her off my mind and repair the damage that she did to my wallet ,and she dosent make it any easier by trying to keep in touch with me you know just in case she cant find anyone else. work and the gym is keeping me sane.

Step#1: Forget the woman, there are more fish in the sea and you'll make more money in the future. She doesn't sound like a keeper anyway if she left you broke.

Step#2: Cook once or twice a day, just cook 3 meals at a time. If you are going to bake a chicken breast, why not bake four? It will take about the same time to cook, and now you can make all sorts of hot or cold dishes and bring them with you in tupperware. All you need is either a microwave or to just eat it cold. If it's cooked it doesn't matter, and if you are gonna be serious about this get used to eating. Start simple, you will figure out more and more stuff to make. You will save a hell of a lot of money in the long run too. Things like scrambled eggs take all of 2 and a half minutes to cook. It really isn't the chore that it seems like at first. Cooking is really the key to your success. Check out the recepies section of the forum.

Not to be a arse, but:

Prior
Proper
planning
promotes
peak
performance

I try to remember this little mantra when I get mad about not having things planned properly.

Oatmeal with a few scoops of protein powder mixed in is a great start to the day. Use foam bowls it takes a minute to heat , then mix in the powder and add water for consistency and you are done. Throw the bowl away and no mess for you to clean up when you get home. Cook for a few days in one night and put it all in microwave tupperware and pack as many as you need the night before work. If you are really pressed for time get a footlong subway sub on wheat/ or honey oat and take it with you.

Congrats on moving things forward. I'm guessing that with the work hours, your cortisol levels and stress are sky high. I did those hours for a while, but I was 20 at the time. Anything you can do about the hours? Like a remote work trial, like in 4 hour workweek?

This is a great board. Listen to the above advice from the guys, theres some real gold in them.
