Tired of trying

Justin_Wert Posts: 40 Joined: 2002/05/23	2003/05/05, 09:01 AM Im a 17 year old male 220 lbs, around 6'2. I have never even came close to losing as much weight as i wanted to. The goal for nutrition on this like 3350 calories. That in my opinion is insane, and how is a 17 year old supposed to get 222 grams of protein per day. Example of what i ate the other day 3 protein shakes, 2 tuna sandwhiches..... Its just to hard...with no progressive gains/losses

Take the 3 shakes, and incorporate 2 more good clean meals ( lean red meat, chicken , broiled fish along with some greens/salad ) then inbetween those meals , have a can of tuna or something thats not a whole meal but has good nutrional content. Now, I would agree that 3350 calories is a bit much if you are trying to lose weight. 3350, if you have tried this caloric intake and have, either , had no weight loss with it or maybe some gain...( this is expecting the diet is a good clean one and you are exercising and incorporating some cadrio with it ) then lower the intake by 500 calories and give that level a 2 week trial and see how it goes on the scale. Adjust accordingly... Good Luck.
