I came across these forums not too long ago and have already found a ton of good info. I have a question though. First off I have lost about 80 pounds. I used to be 260 and now I am done to 180. I would like to get down to about 160. My height is 6'1 and I calculated my body fat percentage and it came out at about 17 (not sure if either of those are relevant or not). My daily food intake looks like the following:
8:00- whey protein with water and flax seed oil
9:00- handful of cashews
12:00- wheat tortilla with turkey, cheese, and mustard, and a few baked chips
3:00- 100 cal yogurt
6:00- chicken breast with BBQ sauce, and can of green beans with craisins (dried cranberries)
8:30- 1/3 cup of low fat cottage cheese
For exercise I do about 40 minutes of walking and then 15-20 minutes of stability ball exercise or exercises with dumbbells.
So far this has worked pretty well for weight loss, but I am not sure if this will help me attain a six pack. I have worked really hard to get where I am now, and I realize I still have a far way to go, but want to make sure that what I am doing will get me there. So if anyone has any suggestions about different foods/different workouts it would be very much appreciated. From what I have been reading it is really more about what you eat more so than how much working out you do (to get a six pack).
