OK, first ... eat a bigger breakfast.

 

Yes, you did hear right. Starting the day with a proper meal is the best way to get your metabolism going, your energy levels will be higher and you'll burn more calories through the day.

 

Also include a mid-morning snack to stave off hunger, even if its just something small.

 

Beef is NOT the best choice of protein when you're dieting, as it's quite high in fat. Fish, chicken breast, soya, lentils or turkey are all better choices.

 

I think the diet you've planned is too minimal to keep up long enough for the amount of weight loss you're talking about (maximum safe loss is about 2lbs a week - any more than that and you're probably losing muscle as well as fat). You also probably wouldn't have enough energy to keep up your training.

 

What is your current, "normal" diet like?

Currently: Kickboxing and variants.

Previously: Karate (Seido, Shotokan, Seidokan), Ju Jitsu, Judo, Aikido, Fencing.

Also how much do you weigh now? That would help determine how many calories you need everyday

 

I would spread the meals out more 6 a day if possible.

 

I would also watch the carbs after 6. Carbs are real important try to stick to low GI carbs if at all possible.

Currently I weight 180 pounds. I'm only 5 foot 6 inches. My current diet is hard to say, because I eat randomly and whenever I want to. I'll eat a bigger breakfast and my dinner will be include other scources of proteins and other types of foods. I can't spread my meals out by six days because I have school.

Well here is what i would do. First if at all possible do some a.m. cardio. 4 times a week. Since you go to school I would make 2 of these days saturday and sunday. 2 days during the week you could get up earlier.

 

I would also start a weight lifting routine. 3-4x a week. I can go into details about that if interested.

 

I would consume about 1800 calories a day, divided into how many meals are feasibly possible for you. 30% fats, 30% carbs, 40% protein.

 

I would also try to eat more carbs earlier in the day for breakfast and lunch and every meal before dinner around 6.

 

Make sure you don't eat for an hour or so after your cardio also.

 

You could eat a meal for breakfast, lunch, immediatly after school, dinner around 6, and if you can afford a protein shake right before bed, if not mostly all protein.

 

Thats what i would do, you can follow all or part or none at all, but i made it as simple as possible, with still adding all the elements

Here's an easy way to lose weight. Eat 500 calories less a day than what you're consuming now and commit to any kind of exercise. You should be able to drop 1-2 pounds a week and keep it off without driving yourself nuts.

It's happy hour somewhere in the world.
