Hello,

my name is Mukul, age 19, and I have some questions about my workout routine. I am 6'0 and weigh around 163. I am average build (max bench around 225). I am trying to loose weight and gain muscle mass (If that's possible). I am really just looking at becoming "toned" instead of bulk. I don't have all that much weight to loose, but weight loss is a major focus of my workout. Every day after work, I go to the gym and get on the exercise bike for 50 minutes (HR: 137-155) or run 4-5 miles. I alternate between working out biceps and back or triceps, chest and abs. Most of the time, I will workout 2 out of every 3 days, but I do cardio everyday. Before working out I drink a PowerAde option (40 cal water) and eat a snickers energy bar. Afterwards I eat a detour bar (thinking of switching back to power bar pp) and drink a smoothie (smoothie king) for carbs. I would like to find a cheaper option for the carbs instead of the smoothie if possible. On a website I read that someone of my weight should ingest 30g or protein and 100g of carbs after working out. Does this sound right? What are good carbs and what are bad? Is there a difference in the protein found in various bars (I'm not talking about soy vs. whey I mean is the better quality protein?). Also, am I working out too much? Should I do cardio before or after lifting? What would be some good alternate cardio exercises that would get rid of stomach and love handle fat? Does the 30 minute window begin after you lift or after you get done working out all together? Is there anything I should watch out for when buying these products (for instance: and ingredient in them or something)? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

mukul
