    Are you seeking motivation to keep going or are you in dire need of a crash course in nutrition?

    Lift weights and exercise regularly, your body will want and crave healthy food instead of junk! Good Luck!

    Achieve whatever goals you set. If this is what you want, then be happy with it.

    That being said, if you want to go further you will have to make certain sacrifices.

    Live how you want.

    In regards to your diet, as long as you are consuming less calories than you are burning, you can eat generally whatever you want.

    If you are lifting regularly , you should probably get a decent amount of protein (I shoot for 100g personally, but that isn't a magic number or anything), if not than it really doesn't matter.

    Those being said; you should never get bored with your diet, because you can ALWAYS switch it up as long as you are under your number. For example if you wanted to go to (insert fast food restaurant here) for lunch, go for it, just make sure you do not go over your number.

    Are you looking for specific foods or recipes?

    A geek you say....

    I'd recommend signing up for a 5k or 10k run, it's a commitment, a line in the sand and if you start raising money for charity..... there'll be no going back :smile:

    I am not much of gym person. I prefer playing a sport to pumping iron. Usually i play soccer,TT(ping-pong),Badminton and cycling. For strength training I do free weight exercises :)
    I am not looking for diet as per se but rather i can catch something from what others are incorporating in their meals.
