I just joined a gym, and i am committed to looking great in a 2-piece this summer. Can anyone recommend a sample diet (i'm a 27yr. female 5'1" 130lbs.) to use in addition to my new exercise routine? I want to lose around 15-20 lbs. SAFELY and get toned up! Thanks and best of luck to everyone out there getting in shape!

Welcome to ft Ms. Candi! Have you signed up for an ft program? There's a wonderful nutrition section available when you sign up. Also, when you have a moment, fill out your profile so we know more about you.
Good luck!

First of all, you should be eating 5 or 6 small meals a day. Secondly, you should make sure to feed your muscle with plenty of protein! Different people on here have different ideas regarding diet breakdown, but what has worked for me is 40%carb/40%protein/20%fat. I've been doing this type of eating for almost 5 weeks now, and have lost around 7 pounds. So, if you are eating 1200cal a day (which is most likely way too little, but easy to figure!), you would need 20g of protein, 20g of carbohydrate, and 4.4g of fat per meal and 6 meals a day. You can adjust this as needed based on how many calories you need. A good website I've found to calculate your minimum caloric intake is:

Good luck!
