I'll start with my profile. I am 27 years old, 5'10", medium build, and weigh 165 lbs. I would like to get to the low end of my weight range for my height and build (so you can actually see those muscles hiding under my fat) which means losing about 20 lbs or so.
I usually exercise 90 to 120 minutes each day. Two days a week I work my upper body for an hour w/ 30 to 60 minutes of step class or kickboxing afterwards. Two days a week, I work my lower body for about an hour w/ 30 to 60 minutes of step class or cardio machines afterwards. One day a week, I concentrate on cardio for 60 mins w/ 30 mins of ab work--and one day a week, I concentrate on full body sculpting for 1 to 2 hours.
I know that the reason I'm not losing weight is because I can't seem to figure out how to eat right. There are so many plans out there that I can't decide which one to stick with. So...I was wondering if based on my profile and my workout schedule, I could get some recommendations on a healthy way to fuel my body and lose the weight. I don't have a lot of time for planning and trying to figure out all of the ratios of protein, fat, and carbs. I guess what I'm looking for is a sample meal plan I could go by. What works for you?
Thanks}(
