This is a bit frustrating trying to weed out all the correct info for "my" situation. I'm wanting to lose about 20 lbs of fat and then add 10 lbs of muscle. My main issue is weight loss for now, toning later, and figuring out a diet I can sustain for the rest of my life! The diet is the big part.
But this to eat or not to eat in the am when you do cardio or to eat or not to eat when you do weights in the am or the do eat protein after you do cardio but not after weights or do after 30 minutes but no wait an hour if you're on a weight loss plan... and then ok to eat protein before you go to bed but not until you're leaner... I'm so confused!
I'm going nuts! Can anyone help me makes sense of this / would be willing to help nme put together a diet plan for eating that is correct for my goals?

1.Eat as soon as you get up. If you are going to exercise soon afterward, eat something that is quickly absorbed, like a protein shake. If you are eating a large meal, wait 2 hours before exercising.
2.Do your workouts at the time most convenient for you, that way you are more likely to stick to them.
3.If you are doing weights and cardio the same day, do weights first.
4.Eat every 3 hours when you are awake.
5.Try to include some protein with every meal (and pick your foods from the "grocery list for a bodybuilder" in the diet/nutrition board)
6.Have your last meal at night just before you go to bed, and make it something which is released slowly into the bloodstream, like cottage cheese.
Good luck :)

If you space your meals so that you are eating more calories in the morning and day time and less at night then you'll wake up more hungry. This will help you eat in the mornings. Once I realized that not eating like a hog late at night would make me able to eat breakfast, it became easier to keep up the healthy habits.
