Looks good, you should definitely see some good results doing that if your nutrition is in check. Good luck bro.

if your nutrition is in check.

:nod:

What does your diet look like?

Sorry bout the delay, I was in the city most of the past two days and nights, so i didn't have a chance to respond.

Anyway, i'm still trying to create a diet.

Breakfast: half cup Oatmeal with 1 cup milk
slice of wheat bread with tbs peanut butter

Snack1: 1 scoop (30 g) protein sup. + 1 cup milk

Lunch:???

Snack2: 1 scoop (30 g) protein sup. + 1 cup milk

Dinner:???
Problem being, I've always had a problem with set meal times. I probably have to get in the habit of
doing this. Take today-- i went downtown to meet a few buddies. I barely had a slice of bread for breakfast. throughout the day, i had a soyjoy bar, a powerbar, another soyjoy bar, and then another powerbar. All at about 2 hour intervals. Came home, dinner at 8, chicken breast, lentils, stir fry bell peppers, and the equivalent of Whole wheat tortilla. How important is constancy in raising my metabolism?

You need to eat more. Have some protein in the morning alongside your oatmeal.
And can't you put something more into your 'snack' shakes than just protein and milk? Add some flaxseed or oats if you want more carbs. And an apple or broccoli would be great as well.

Why are the Lunch and Dinner sections unknown?

Are you willing to take the time and add some more structure to your meal plan? It's up to you how strict you want to make it, but in my opinion there is a lot of room for improvement without getting too strict at all.

I'd just hate to see you putting all this time and effort into planning a workout and cardio plan without paying enough attention to nutrition.

I am definitely willing. i just don't know where to start with my diet or what to focus on. I was hoping that you guys would help me with that. :D so any ideas on adding structure to my mealplan? (its updated, keep reading)
