A Weekly Fitness and Diet Plan


I'm working on a weekly fitness and diet regime. A plan that I can print off, stick to my bedroom wall and try to follow strictly.

I've had previous advice from personal trainers and nutritionists that I need to be looking at eating approximately 6 times per day. This isn't six large meals a day - but breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper with mid-morning and mid-afternoon snacks (of the healthy kind).

I am also led to believe that because I don't pile on the pounds naturally, empty calories (like chocolate) are a waste of time. They're fattening for others but simply unhealthy for myself. Although, I like it too much that I think I can treat myself on a daily basis as an extra snack. :)

From scouring the internet, I've come to the conclusion that protein shakes, fruit, lots of water (approximately 3 litres), avocados, eggs (particularly egg whites), kidney beans, chicken, turkey, salmon, tuna and lean red meat should all be incorporated into my diet. Also, slow-burning carbs (particularly pre-workout) such as oatmeal, sweet potato and whole-grain pasta etc.

I'll post the diet plan when I've finalised it.

Now, I need to concentrate on the types of exercise and weights to use at the gym to get the best (and fastest) results...I'm super impatient!!
