What’s this week’s diet tips question? Let’s dive straight in…
Question: I’m 5′ and weigh around 115, but i want to lose 15-20 pounds. Would the following menu be good to follow?
Breakfast: 2 eggs, or egg whites (would whole wheat toast be a smart add-on or a poor decision? sometimes if i dont get carbs in the morning, i don’t feel as satisfied)
Lunch: Salad or protein shake (can anyone reccommend some yummy ones?)
Dinner: Salad, with either grilled chicken, or avocado, or beans, or similar stuff.
I go to the gym around 5 days out of the week, so would this be good to power me up for my workouts, but still allow me to lose weight? Would having fruit smoothies (just fruit in a blender with ice) for breakfast sometimes be too much sugar?
Any additional tips?? sorry this was long, i just wanna find out what will work best
Just so everyone knows, i wanna lose this weight to get the blubber off my thighs and stomach area, not to go crazy with my weight and be super skinny
Answer: Breakfast- eat 1 egg with yolk at least once a week. Egg whites, heck i eat them 2x a day sometimes. It’s okay to have toast in the morning. I do. Add fruit and some water and you’ll be good to go.
Lunch- Protien shakes? ehh I sometimes use half a bannana, ice, honey, and peanut butter. I recommend a salad and add protiens like turkey or grilled chicken with lots of veggies and no dressing.
Dinner- thats fine, add some veggies maybe?
Add snacks too! eat granola bars, or rice cakes and salsa for a filling treat. Rice cakes are 35 calories a cake and top it with salsa and eat away!
Keep the diet tips questions coming! I liked this one:
Question: hey im 19 and have good muscle put a few years of being in active has given me a tiny bit of fat only on my low belly and my back is not as cut as it used to be.

morning 7 egg whites 1 cup cereal.
snack protein shake
lunch 10 0z chicken 2 slice of whole wheat bread veggies
dinner salmon or steak and veggies.
snack protein bar 1 peice of string cheese.
i started at 155 and after 9 days im up 3-4 lbs.
i assume its muscle because how could i gain fat??? i lift everyday and cardio every other day.
my intake is 200g protein. only 80 carbs a day.
will i loose some fat like this i want my abs back !!!
any tips or if im on the right track let me know
Answer: Hey man if i were you, i would reduce the carbs to at least below 40 grams if you are going to lose fat. I mean you are eating 200 grams of protein, which is able to conpensate with the lack of carbs. With that much protein you might as well eliminate all carbs or reduce the protein to 80 grams and up your fat intake drastically.
Losing Fat takes time but I am sure this will work for you. Good Luck, and have fun with it.
By the way, always remember to carb binge once in a while
