I have a BS in Exercise Physiology. I am NOT a Nutritionist but i will say this:
At 6'1 and 203 lbs, your body needs 3650 calories to MAINTAIN your current weight (assuming you work out 5 days a weekwith moderate to intense cardio) and guessing you're in between 21-29 years old.
By consuming these calories on an average daily basis, you should maintain your weight. However, if you are looking to lose weight, here are some tips:
Most health professionals recommend slow weight loss as the safest and most effective approach. A sensible weight-loss program allows you to lose weight gradually -- about one-half to one pound per week. Gradual weight loss promotes long-term loss of body fat, not just water weight that can be quickly regained.
To lose one pound, a person must burn 3,500 calories more than are consumed (500 calories per day over the course of a week). For example, reducing calories by 300 per day and increasing daily activity to burn off an additional 200 calories should result in a weight loss of one pound per week. This is only the diet side, your cardio obviously will aid in the weight loss as well as endurance.
Cut the banana and add berries instead (strawberrie,blueberrie,rasperries, no dingleberries though).
Make chicken,turkey,tuna and salmon your best friends. If you dont do fish,take omega oil supplements.
Go from whole milk to skim, mayo to mustard.
Have egg white omletes with mushroom and low fat shredded cheese and 2 slices of CANADIAN bacon for breakfast occasionally.
A boring diet will kill you.
You need to eat to lose!
You need more fiber. Oatmeal (not instant), beans,whole grain bread only ( 7,9,or 12 grain)-not french bread!
Also- Try a tablespoon of flavored metamucil to water 20 minutes before large meals and always take multivitamins!
