Hey Guys,

I'm currently at 5'10, 195, about 14% bodyfat (estimate). I'm alternating days between weights/running.

Day 1 - Weights w/20 min HITT
Day 2 - Run 1hr/30 minute ab
Day 3 - Off
Day 4 - Weights w/20min HITT
Day 5- Run 1hr/30 minute ab
Day 6- Weights (Legs/Calves) NO running
Day 7 Off

Weight Lifting days, lift for 1hour, hitt for 20mins
Running days, run for 1hr, abs workout for 30 minutes

A sample diet
8am Oatmeal
10am Protein Shake (2 scoops)
12pm Chicken TV Dinner 280 caloires, 21g protein, 30g carbs, 8g fat (2.5 saturated)
2pm 1 Can of Tuna Raw
4pm Another TV Dinner and/or Chicken Breasts
7pm Protein Shake after workout
8pm Chicken Breast w/Veggies and/or Tv Dinner (see above)
10pm 5 Egg Whites

I want to shoot for progessive gains, but I noticed Free Trainers nutritional numbers look off. How many calories, protein, carbs, and fats should I shoot for? Do you think I'm incorporating too much cardio in my routine?

Note: When I was lifting 4-5 days a week about 4 months ago, I eliminated all forms of cardio (beside the warm up) and gain my belly back (although I gained muscle too). I'm trying to walk a tight rope and either maintain and/or gain muscle while cutting down on fat. I know they say you can't go in two directions at once, but hopefully someone out there will give me something interesting to try.

Do a search in this forum. Over the last 4 months, much about eating plans and the right foods has been discussed and some meal plans posted.
