Best protein powders for muscle gain?
in Hobbies & Leisure ·
I could really use some advice or even just a second opinion on how to lose this extra weight around my midsection... I’ve been training in boxing, Taekwondo, and a bit of grappling for about three or four years now—nothing professional, just recreational stuff about three times a week. My diet? Honestly, I just eat whatever is available, whenever I feel like it. Since I work irregular shifts through the night, it’s pretty normal for me to be eating around 11 PM or later. Now, I’ve finally decided I want to slim down my waistline. Believe me, the workouts are intense; they usually run about 90 minutes. On my off days, I try to get out for a run or go cycling. I should mention that I’ve never actually watched what I eat before, because as long as my weight stayed steady, I felt fine. But now, I want to target that belly fat. How do I go about reducing my waist without necessarily skipping meals in the evening? On training days, I have lunch around 3 PM, hit the gym at 7 PM, and then I don't really eat again until around 10 PM because I'm awake until 3 or 4 in the morning. On other days, my last meal is around 6 PM, but man, it is incredibly hard to hold out until 4 AM... What can I do? How can I replace that late-night post-workout meal? My goal is simple: just lose about 2 or 3 inches off my waist and call it a day.
