The Train Timetable

Nutrition is 80% of body conditioning. To that end, I have made a nutritional plan with the aid of a program called FitDay. A screenshot of the program is below. It basically allows you to enter in a type of food and the quantity consumed and calculates EVERYTHING you'd ever need to know.

So, using the program, I have created a rough outline for a typical day's eating that Jithan should be doing:

Breakfast: 
Weet-bix (3 biscuits) with 1.5 - 2 cups of milk. 
450 Cal, 22g protein. 

Snack: 
100g can of tuna 
200Cal, 29g protein 

Lunch: 
100g garden salad, 2 hardboiled eggs, Medium chicken thigh and wing 
450Cal, 40g protein 

Snack: 
200g (2 cans of tuna) 
400Cal, 58g protein 

Post workout snack: 
Protein Bar/Shake 
324Cal, 14g protein 

Dinner: 
150g garden salad, 2 slices cheese, 1 hardboiled egg 
300Cal, 20g protein 

Snack: 
200g (2 cans tuna) 
400Cal, 58g protein 

TOTAL: 2500 Cal, 241g protein.


Of course some variation will be needed so I don't die of boredom, and of lack of variation. Of course there'll be cheat days and meals in my plan to keep me from going insane, but not for 1 week at least. And this plan begins tomorrow. 

Along with this will be a 6 day workout plan, as follows:

It's a 6-day program, with 3 days devoted to cardio (cycling, jogging, boxing circuit) and 3 days for weight training. 

Day 1: Chest and Triceps 
Day 2: Cardio 
Day 3: Back, Shoulders, Biceps 
Day 4: Cardio 
Day 5: Legs, Abs 
Day 6: Cardio 


If all goes to plan, significant changes should be visible before uni starts in March. So, I'll follow my progress on here for the next few weeks, see how everything is going.
