Frustrated

[danny stash]

I started boxing seriously about 6 months ago at about 230 lbs big and muscular. I seriously cut down on my heavy weight training to get some more speed. I succeeded in getting much faster and I am sure i hit harder as well. I am now 220 pounds with alot less muscle and i would swear more fat around my midsection. Before boxing I hardly ever even worked up a sweat much less did cardio (once a week maybe) My wind is way up now, I work out like a dog and come out of the gym DRENCHED. What do i need to due to continue to drop weight put retain muscle. I have extensive knowledge of nutrition and working out but i am totally stumped and frustrated.
Help

Same thing you would do during cutting stages.

There is obviously some problem with nutrition if you are losing muscle AND gaining fat while doing so much cardio. You should try to review your diet to see what's wrong.

Fustrated?
Angry?
Feel groggy?
Can't get cut?
Need to make weight?
can't figure something out?

I lost too much weight when I started training. I didn't want o start eating more again becasue that's a slippery slope so I made sure I got a nice protein shake in right after I trained. The weight evened off and the muscle is there.

well Rome wasnt built in one day as well as you wont get your result like in one week.


The difference between a successful person is the he put 100% of his effort everyday but for me it just one day hit and rest of the monthis lazy

Post up your diet, what your typical meal is like, so we can get a better idea of what you are eating.

[danny stash]

breakfast Either a protein shake and a peanut butter and jelly or eggs and chicken or oatmeal

Lunch: some kind of turkey, or roast beef, chicken, veal or ham sandwich

3 PM another sandwich

5 protein shake

8-9 Some hummus and triscuits ,turkey , couple pickles,


weekends.....Whatever IE thai noodles, pasta etc(no pizza or crazy stuff.) and i drink about 15 drinks on the weekend. (this is probably my problem but not sure)
