This is a question that could be answered in many ways depending if it was for weight loss, body building or endurance training. For basic weight loss 5-6 well portioned meals per day split up evenly is suppose to increase the metabolism and prevent over eating. I try and do a 40/40/20 of carbs/protein/fat. There are many differnent ways to divide the carb/protein/fat but I find this way to work well without getting sick of one food group or the other. Less fat is better and protein is not directly used as a fuel (this is the methode behind the atkins diet).

For weight loss timing is not as important. You just want to make sure that you give at least an hour between eating and intense exercise. If you exercise too early you might get stomach cramps. I like to exercise before dinner because I am less hungry and eat less at dinner (this is not based in science, just my opinion). If you exercise early in the morning before breakfast then you might want to eat a banana because you might feel hypoglycemic. If it is not intense then you can get by without some morning calories. Early exercise is suppose to energize you (I just cant wake up and do it, I hate the mornings).

I hope this helps.

Whats up team. Everyone is so non-active. we need to log our info so we can be accountable. Make your diaries pubic or viewable by friends

I will be at 1800 calories again for today. Worked out for an hour and I will get 50 pullups and 100 push ups in today.

The work week is when it will be hard to keep up the diet and exercise so stay positive and know you can do it.
