I work out daily and i dont have alot of money to buy expensive foods. im about 5'6 160lbs but i can't find a meal plan that is affortable for me and easy to follow to burn fat. do you know what kind of foods for a meal plan i can follow to help me.
I am 44 years old and I love to workout, I have been told that I read
too much about how many carbs and the amount of protein I need per day.
I workout 4 - 5 times a week, normally anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes on
a one body part a day routine. I want to have muscle but I am not
looking to get huge.
Another thing I am confused about is the pre and post workout stuff and
how to fit it around my meals.
I am so confused!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why is starving yourself to lose wt not good?
Is it better to lose weight with or without nutritional supplementation?
Is it healthy or unhealthy for your weight to fluctuate up and down a lot?
Caffeine? Good or bad?

Heres a recipe for a very high calorie, yet inexpensive protein shake
you can do several times a day and put on quality weight.
into a blender put:
2 cups 2 % milk
2 tbspns natural peanut butter
1 cup nonfat dry milk powder.
2 whole eggs
1/2 cup yogurt w fruit
drink this in between your whole food meals. the ingredients in
this shake are very cheap and calorie and nutrient dense.

to add mass i would try to achieve about 1.5 grams of protein per lb of bodyweight divided into 6 meals spread about 2-3 hours apart. you should then try to achieve .75 percent of that number in the form of complex carbs ( brown rice, sweet potato, whole what bread and whole wheat pasta etc) the reamainder of your calories should be mono unsaturated fats such as natural peanut butter, olive oil, almond butter etc.
about 1 hour pre workout , you should have a mixed , whole food meal consisting of protein and carbs.(eg. chicken and brown rice). immediately after your workout, a liquid meal ( shake) consisting of about 40-50 grams of protein and 40-50 grams of carbs and creatine.

Why is starving yourself to lose wt not good?
eating well below maintenance calories sends the signal to the body that it is starving..that there is a famine. one of the things the body does in starvation mode is preserve body fat and metabolize or break down lean mass ( muscle). this reduces the overall basal metabolic rate and makes any further weight loss difficult. it also sets the stage for a huge rebound in weight when the person eventually goes back to their old eating habits.
TOP
Is it better to lose weight with or without nutritional supplementation?
nutritional supplementation is critical to any weight loss/ muscle gain protocol. when trying to lose fat or gain muscle, vitamins and minerals are critical in the biological processes that govern these actions. it is difficult to get all the nutrients we need from whole food alone, especially when we are asking so much of our bodies in terms of activity and results.
TOP
Is it healthy or unhealthy for your weight to fluctuate up and down a lot?
yo yo dieting ( or having huge weight fluctuations) is very unhealthy. the extra weight puts a strain on the heart and the ensuing starvation deprives the body of vital nutrients. over time, the body will store more fat on the way up...and lose more muscle on the way down, thereby permanently destroying the metabolic rate.

caffeine in moderation/good. caffeine in excess/bad. as a tool to help lose weight through thermogenesis, caffeine can be a great adjunct to your diet and exercise routine. however, in excess, it can lead to adrenal burnout and a dependency on the caffeine.
