hey! so I'm new to online forums so excuse me if this is in the wrong place!
Alright so to start off I used to be 165lbs which is my current goal. Right now I'm about 190-195 lbs. I am a 22 year old male, 5 feet 9 inches tall. My exercise routine will be running/jogging 5x a week for 30-45 minutes each day and at least a hour riding a bike each day during the weekends. I would go to the gym but with my work I am out of the cities and don't have access to one. So far I've been looking around the forums and I am a bit confused as to what and how much I should be eating everyday? I'm new to dieting and have never had to do this before. If anyone has any input as to what my diet plan should be , or at least something to base it around it would be much appreciated!! Thanks in advance for your input !!

Hi,

You are doing good but still you need to add something in your exercise plan.Investigate what’s on offer in your local area – phone around the leisure centres, gyms and pools and find out about times, availability and prices.

Thanks

Hi, I found that eating small portion of food 6 times per day has helped me. It goes like this breakfast( 1egg, wheat toast) mid morning snack ( protien bar) lunch (baked chicken,veggies) mid afternoon snack(almonds) dinner (fish,veggies) snack(protien shake) This helps keep your metabolism reved up all day.Hope this helps.

Well, but if you lift weight it will be very helpful for you, and one more advice for you that you lift light weight with many repititions (12-16).
Good luck

Chris g, have you ever tried yoga? It's a great way to lose weight, decrease stress and increase muscle tone, and you don't have to join a gym or anything. Also, as far as how much to eat, try conscious eating, where you pay attention to when you are "satisfied" but not actually "full." Stick mostly with fruits and veggies for fiber and antioxidants, nuts, eggs, and lean meats for protein, and whole grain bread and oatmeal. Avoid a lot of sugar, but when you want to sweeten things up, you can use alternatives like stevia and Nectress, which is a monk fruit extract. Let me know if you need more detailed advice.
