Hi Everyone!

Meal plan , eating schedule and workout schedule. I am working on one now and can use some help and tips.
Thanks!

Mon-Fri - get up at 4:50 a.m.
Sat - afternoon or early evening
Mon/Wed/Fri - weight training
Tues/Thurs/Sat - cardio
Sun - rest day
I pretty much eat at the same time every day and plan my meals ahead of time.0 -
Mon - Friday up at 6am - walk the dog for 1hour (roughly 2 or 3 miles) At the weekend we head out a bit later and he gets 90mins
My evenings are like this
Mon, Thur, Sat - Cardio - 30min run, 2000m row
Wed, Fri, Sun - Strength Training
Tue - Rest Day
I sometimes do a lunch time fitness class too during the week - Step, Spin etc
I don't have a meal plan -I use the TDEE method so my daily goal is 1670 every day and as long as it fits in my calorie goal I'll eat what I fancy0 -
This is a cut/paste of my workout schedule for this week:
SUNDAY - OFF
MONDAY - Upper Body (5x3)
TUESDAY - Legs
WEDNESDAY - Arms
THURSDAY - Abs
FRIDAY - Squats + Olympic Lifts (form work)
SATURDAY - Upper Body (3x8) + Cardio
I workout on weeknights/worknights 1st thing when I get home. Weekends I just fit it in whenever.
Don't have a meal plan set. Just try to hit my calories and macros everyday.0 -
I lift mon-fri at around 12:30 on a five day bro split: shoulders/back/chest/legs/arms/rest/rest
I eat breakfast on the way to work. Eat lunch about 11. Have a protein shake around 2:30-3:00. Eat dinner whenever I get home after picking up my kids. Have some kind of snack to get the rest of my calories in after the kids go to bed. Usually ice cream.0 -
Ideally?
Mon - Lift
Tues - Run
Weds - Lift
Thurs - Run
Fri - Lift
Sat - Run
Sun - Rest
I drink coffee, no breakfast. Lunch is usually 12-1 and dinner anywhere between 6-8pm, depending on how long it takes to cook.0 -

Almost identical but I add a protein shake after the morning workout.0 -
Exercise....Monday-Saturday goes as follows....EVENINGS ONLY
MONDAY: Run 6 miles, 30 mintues weights (arms), 10 minutes abs

Diet.....Alll the time
LOW CARB....I am doing Atkins right now and am eating less than 20 NET grams of carbs per day.....as I get further into it I will add more in. So far, I have lost 8.2 lbs in 4 days.....I have been drinking on this diet too, and it hasn't inhibited my weight loss (surprisingly!).
Good luck!0 -
Mon- 30 min lift/30 min run
Tues- 4-mile run
Wed- 30 min lift/30 min swim
Thurs- rest
Fri- 30 min lift/30 min swim
Sat- 60-90 min run
Sun- rest
I do a lot more cardio than I "should," but I enjoy it. The running is really the only thing that relieves stress for me. I eat a full bagel before my long run; the other days I tend to stick to a Greek yogurt. I used to do a protein shake (and should return to it), but I got sick on one once and it just put me off for awhile. TMI.0 -
As Adini said...ideally..lol.
Monday: Cardio and Lower Calisthenics
Tuesday: C25K and Pressing and Pulling Work
Wednesday: Cardio and Upper/Mid Calisthenics
Thursday: C25K and Pressing and Pulling Work
Friday: Cardio and Leg Work
Saturday: Cardio or/and Yoga
Sunday: Yoga and Other Cardio (Optional)
*Cardio could be a run, elliptical, yoga, or a dvd workout.
Don't have a meal plan. I try to hit macros and eat whatever I feel like that day. Not a clean eater if that is what you are wondering.
As for meal schedules - it varies. I try to at least get a protein shake in the mornings but I don't have anything set in stone. I find being flexible with both food and meal times helps me more than when I try to be regimented with it.0 -
Here's my last full week of training before.
Monday: AM Lifting/HIIT
Tuesday: AM Lifting/HIIT; PM Run- Speed work 5-6mi
Wednesday: AM Run 6-7m easy pace; PM Nike Training Club
Thursday: AM: Lifting/HIIT; PM Run-Temp0 run 5-6 mi
Friday: Rest
Saturday: Long run 10+mi
Sunday: Run 5-6 mi easy pace
Marathon on Sunday and once I reverse taper that schedule will change.0 -
Sunday - Step class
MWF - Lift
Friday - Zumba (several hours before lifting)
I may throw a 20 min HIIT workout or two in during the week, either on a rest day or 6+ hours after lifting.
Meals: I eat 5-6 small meals. It helps me avoid binging, feeling too hungry, and heartburn. 40P/30F/30C, goal is 1600 calories. If I'm still hungry, I eat more. I always have a protein shake (whey protein + dextrose) after lifting.0 -
I work Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturdays. On Tu and Th I go to the gym after work - so, I'm there by 6:30pm. On Saturday and Sunday I go around 10 am. Sunday I like to make sure I am out of there before noon so I can watch the Bears game (because a girl has her priorities, LOL). I focus on cardio since I have so much fat to lose, but I do stay and do a quick and dirty weight routine Tuesdays and Saturdays. I try to make sure I hit all the major groups - chest/back, biceps/triceps, hams/glutes/quads, abs and stabilizers/low back. Eventually I would like to expand the weights to three days a week and get more variety. But, baby steps, yo.0

For my meals you can check out my food diary. OP I know you have been snooping .. cause I look at yours. *winks*
But my exercise plan ...
Monday .. 60 min cardio (treadmill and stationary bike usually)
Tuesday .. 60 min Group Power class. Like Les Mills Body Pump.
Thursday .. 60 min cardio . . (treadmill and StairClimber)
Saturday .. 60 min Group Power class.
That's my week in review.
Take care.

I'm trying to bump up my workouts from five days a week to six, so in a perfect week things will go like so:
Monday: Rest
Tuesday: lift for an hour in the evening, full body
Wednesday: gentle yoga
Thursday: full body circuit for 30 minutes in the evening
Friday: swimming for an hour during my lunch break (usually 30 minutes of intervals then 15 minutes using only legs and then 15 minutes using only arms)
Saturday: full body TRX for an hour in the late morning
Sunday: power yoga in the evening
Rinse and repeat.
I net 1800 calories a day; I don't bother to log my workouts, focusing instead on just hitting the 1800 calorie mark--I think this simplifies the process and saves me from overestimating calories burnt in a workout. I eat 50% carbs, 25% protein, and 25% fat through five meals a day: 400 calorie breakfast, 200 calorie morning snack, 400 calorie lunch, 200 calorie afternoon snack, and 600 calorie dinner.
If anyone sees room for improvement, please feel free to message me as I'm as always open to changing things up!0 -
Mon: 5:30am-circuit 30 mins/swim 30mins
Tues: 5:30am-swim 45/mins (1/2 mile minimum) 5:00pm-circuit class/60mins
Wed.: OFF
Thurs: Same as Tues
Fri: Same as Mon
Sat: OFF
Sun: 5:30am-circuit 45 mins/swim 30mins
I generally eat 1600 to 1700 calories except on my OFF days and those I try to stay at 1200-1300 (don't yell at me, I'm old)
I eat a lot of the same things day after day for breakfast and lunch but only if I really like them and mix up my dinners and snacks to keep it interesting. I cook dinner almost every night and we eat pretty healthy.
I'm recovering from a serious back injury and it's taken me quite a bit of time to work up to this schedule and I also gained about 30 pounds on top of the other 30 I needed to lose during the healing process...................yikes. On track to be back to my normal self by May or June, possibly July...................who knows?0 -
I wake up at 5am for work M-F so I work out in the afternoons and pretty minimal -
weights 3 days a week doing 3 sets of 8-12: bench, squat, assisted pull ups, deadlift, then either planks, leg lifts, reverse crunches, crunches, pumpkin smashers or other ab stuff.
I try to alternate squat and deadlift so I don't kill my back. Once I hit my goal weight and focus on a slow gain I'll start doing all the smaller exercises but right now I just want to maintain my strength.
My main philosophy [stolen from an MFP friend] is "Get fit in the gym, lose weight in the kitchen."
I NEVER schedule my workouts more than a few days ahead of time. My weekly schedule changes so much thanks to different evening and weekend activities/obligations that it's just easier for me to schedule that week than have a set thing. Plus, I don't feel bad if I miss a day, I just feel good when I get a day!0 -
lift 3 times, cardio twice, and if i can, yoga once.
Work and school make it so I find myself lifting or doing hiit at 11 at night.0 -
