Staying consistent with training
in Hobbies & Leisure ·
I guess it all depends on how many days you can actually commit to training..
The rule of thumb—though maybe there isn't a perfect one—is that if you train fewer days, you should probably do more per session.
For instance, if you can only make it in 2 or 3 times a week, I'd suggest a full body routine every time, or perhaps an upper/lower split alternating weekly.
If you're hitting the gym 4 times a week, then an upper/lower split twice a week might work better.
With 5 days, maybe try something like an upper/lower/push/pull/legs split.
And if you're going 6 times, then PPL x2 would be the way to go.
And so on.

Post-cardio meal ideas?

Then they probably don't know how to track their intake properly. I guess anything under 2,000 calories would be incorrect given this level of activity.

What? 1,000 calories? That's going to spike your levels immediately, which I guess could be pretty risky for your health.

Hi there. I suppose you’ve been a bit vague about all of this..
So, you're hitting the gym, which is great, and your goal is weight loss....
To get where you want to be, it really comes down to a calorie deficit; basically, you'll need to consume fewer calories than your body actually burns..
Since you're also doing cardio, I guess you have a little more breathing room with your caloric intake..
The list of what you eat doesn't tell us much yet, since you didn't mention any portions, just the types of food...
1. You should probably check the total calorie count for everything. I wouldn't suggest going below 2,000, given how active you are, though if you can lose weight eating more than that, that might be even better for your progress..
2. What you choose to eat after your workout depends on what you ate beforehand—meaning, how many calories you have left for the day... BUT, since you did both weights and cardio, it would be IDEAL to get some protein and maybe some...
Just fruit and yogurt isn't quite enough, I think. I'd probably opt for a solid meal with more protein; fruit is fine, maybe two or three pieces, but it all depends on your daily total again..
So, I guess the answer is a bit complicated.
