General weight help

Hi,

I'm George and I'm a part time student, I went to the gym regularly throughout summer but stopped when school came back. I've recently been going back. However I need help on what to do. I'm 220 pounds, 5'11 and overweight I want to cut the fat and either tone or gain muscle. Personally think it would be better to tone then build but want a second opinion. My main question is what type of things do I need to do at the gym, like what workouts should I be doing. For example should I do one muscle a day or should I so splits (3/4 muscles a day) and what would be good to eat whilst at school and pre/post-workout. I also had protein shakes during summer and they helped recovery a lot but I would prefer not to have them. I just generally would like to have a better body image and not be conscious when I am out. If any extra details are needed I am happy to share.

All help is appreciated

Thanks George

    Cut fat OR gain muscle. Choose one. For most mere mortals doing both simultaneously is not possible.

    Hahah, You are right. I guess I don't know which to pick, that's part of the problem. But for the sake of it I would say cut fat.
