My Diet and Workout Routine

[KMAIARF]

I am 6 ft and weigh 267lbs. I am trying just to lose weight at this point and when I feel confortable I would like to bulk up a bit, but that is a long term goal.

According to the trainers at my gym, I am carring an excess of 82lbs. My ultimate goal is to get down to 200 lbs. and I will be extremely happy.

I am not doing this as a fast track. I want to lose the weight slowly and as healthy as possible.
This is what my diet consist of currently

Breakfast
4 egg whites and one yolk and a banana

Mid Morning Snack
1/2 cup oatmeal and fruit (peach, pear, apple)

Lunch
Chicken breast or Fish steak
1 cup mixed veggies and brown rice

Mid afternoon snack
Chicken breast or can of tuna or chicken Fruit

Workout
30-60 Min cardio (depending on the day)
Weights on Tuesday(arms chest) and Thursday(back and legs)

Dinner
Fish or chicken or lean beef
Small potato and mixed veggies

maybe some fruit before I go to bed.

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated

Just a quick update, in two weeks, I have lost 7 lbs, I was kinda discouraged at first figuring that I might lose more, but I have noticed quite a difference in my clothes, stamina, and performace at the GYM, so I think I am on the right track. I will continue to advise of my progress.
Wish me luck!

If you can, I would spread your workout day out a little more, maybe monday and thurs or tues and fri. I like lifting fridays because it makes me feel good and gives me energy for the evening. Just to keep you in reality do you dont get discourages, that 7 pounds isnt going to happen every week or two. You should look for around a pound a week. You should calculate your bmr and calories that youeat every day. Keep in mind that eventually you will have to lower the cals a little bit. Maybe just fut out the fruit when that time comes. There is a lot of sugar in fruit. try some low fat cottage cheese before bed. I put a paper on the wall above my scal and weigh myself every night before bed. Dont put too much emphasis on that though. Your weight will fluctuate but over several weeks or months you should see a progression. Lift before you do cardio, and dont over do it. You dont have to do cardio every single day. Finally, have a cheat meal now and then. Just dont go crazy when you do. I still try to order something remotely healthy at a restaurant.

Sorry its kinda jumbled but I'm relatively new too and I just wrote things as they came to me.

Thanks for the advice, I've been been avoiding weiging myself all together, and just concentrating on my workout and diet for the time being.

Hi..!

I'd level off your caloric intake and add more cardio to lose the weight. Definetely, cut simple sugars and empty carlorie food from your diet, and be sure to get all the nutrients essential to building mass, but cut your fat with cardio, not just diet alone. In fact, cardio cutting works better 4 me than extreme dieting, which, for me, tends to rob mass, unlike additional cardio. Remember, cardio is not intense, but low-grade, aerobic exercise.
