I started my meal plan and workout 3 weeks ago after i found JSF, i did a lot of research to find a workout that fits my personality and a meal plan i can live with, i don't like too much variety, a set meal plan is easier for me to stick with, any advice on what i might be doing wrong and what i can add would be appreciated, and i will change my plan to gain the best result.

any suggestions?

i didn't lose any weight this week and my body fat is still the same 22%...could it be that i'm adding muscle so i won't see any weight loss? but i should see a drop in bf right?..or maybe my cal intake is too high i might need to go lower than 1900...2100 when you add the milk

this is my first week doing cardio, so maybe i will see a difference in the numbers after this week

If I was you id loose the bread from meal 3 and the sweet potato from meal 7, replace them with more beans, carrots, pea's etc etc. Get rid of the starchy carbs.

thanks mad180...guess it was just instinct to eat the egg with bread, i'll replace it with something else maybe steamed carrots


and i will stop eating the sweet potato with my last meal and add more beans, that won't be hard to do...thanks again

No problems, try it for another 3 weeks and see what sort of results you get, if it works keep doing it, if it doesnt come back and we can change it again. Because your training in the morning, I dont see the need for all the starchy post workout carbs at the end of the day with your cardio, you should have enough fuel to get through those sessions with a lesser intake of carbs.

Ive also just noticed your not eating enough healthy fats either, throw in 50Grams of almonds somewhere also and maybe a tablespoon full of natural peanut butter with your post workout shake, either eat it off the spoon or mix it in with the shake to get creative.
