I am 16 years old, 5' 4" and 170 pounds. I've been weight lifting for quite sometime, around a year but not consistently but there is a difference in muscle growth. I want to know how much should I intake of carbs in order to lose excess weight and body fat QUICKLY. I know I should take protein in which I do a lot of the time. This is my meal plan so far for the holidays:
Breakfast: Oatmeal with skim milk (sometimes mixed with protein whey)
Lunch: Tuna with whole wheat bread, mustard, red pepper, lettuce/spinach
Dinner: Lean chicken with brown rice (included with mushrooms, red kidney beans, 2 egg whites, onions, garlic, herbs)
That's all I eat and I know I should eat in between those meals, but is that really necessary and will it affect my chance of losing weight? I absolutely use no salt whatsoever when I cook, I just season the meat and everything. I also use organic extra virgin olive oil for cooking.
I have been eating this with a workout plan in which I go to the gym, I also do cardio on speed 6.5 - 7.0 for 15 min. I workout different muscles each day bu I haven't seen a difference in my stomach or fat loss.
I think that I am eating too much carbs, how much should I intake of carbs and what am I doing wrong? I really want to lose weight and lose excess fat
Please help, experienced answers.
