what is a split?

I want to eat better, only problem is I dont know how to cook anything, I eat about 10 times a day. usually just a sandwich or some canned fruit or something. (i hear this is actually healthy?) I eat really small meals because i hate that being stuffed feeling. so having food prepared ready for me is a must, so i cook ramen(unhealthy) frozen food or like cook a hamburger. last 2 weeks i ate 20 hotdogs 5 brats 10 frozen chicken patties. 12 things of ramen 3 cans of chili and some peanut butter sandwiches. and some canned pears/peaches like 10 cans i think. I stopped buying soda, I was drinking 2 or 3 a day. ( i am going to go cold turkey).

is there a place where either you can get prepared food thats good for you or really easy recipe things for me to cook?

Holy $*(/I*( I loled hard at your post cause you're just like me. If that can help, I found at the grocery some sort of "home food" already prepared in small packages, you can try that. Just put it in the microwave and that's it, plus it's better than the frozen Michelina's or **** like this...

Hey guys, I'll be glad to help out over here and share my experience. I've been into bodybuilding and powerlifting for the last 6 years and have a degree in biology, so I'm able to answer pretty much any questions you might have about supplements, diet, or training.

I'm currently aiming to loose a bit of weight, not much maybe 4kg in a couple of weeks.

Heres a typical day.

0700 wakeup
either a 1h walk or 30min running excercise (depends on my morning mood and weather gf wants to join or not)
0800 breakfeast:
porridge oats 1dl enriched with about 1/2dl of soyflour
1 banana, some raisins and 1-2dl soymilk

1100 one fruit as a snack

1300 lunch
this varies alot obv but an example would be something like a bowl of lentilsoup and a piece of bread with hoummus and some vegs.

1600
fruit as snack or perhaps a coffe latte

1800
kickboxning excercise one hour (I do this 4 times a week, the other days I do some homemade training program, mostly different variants of pushups, situps, squats and the like)

2000
some dinner options
#1 Salad with bulgur, quinoa, couscous or something like that as base, then alot of vegs, tofu, chickpeas, kidneybeans, some olivoil, you get the picture. I usually have some bread with the salad as well.

#2 Pasta with tomatosauce with vegs and tofu or lentils

2200
a fruit or a light snack.

Basically I should get something like 2k kalories/day with this diet. (This is basically what I eat all the time except now I eat MUCH less, something around 60-70% of normal maybe).

I'm 25 years old, 65kg heavy and 168cm tall.

I have never tried to loose weight all my life so all input is appreciated

(yeah and if you havent guessed it allready I'm a vegetarian)

Protein is a much more efficient macronutrient (a macronutrient is simply carbohydrates, protein, and fat) than the toher two, and you certainly need more in your diet. I would recommend investing in some protein (could be whey protein, or a blend) and having that throughout the day (1600 and 2200 comes to mind particularly, before your training and your last meal of the day) in place of some fruit. You're doing a great job getting all the fruit; however, when dieting it's really important to add in more protein.

Thanks for the input. I think I'm getting around 70g per day now though and shouldnt that be enough as I'm not lifting weights but focusing on cardio excercises?
