This question has become all to familiar here on this site:

"Hi, I weigh xxx lbs and im looking to lose 30 lbs. Can anyone help me out?"

I would like to take some time out to help all the new members out on what to include when posting diet questions. This will help insure that you get a detailed response instead of 5 posts of questions from people trying to get what I have included below, out of you.

When posting diet questions, please try to include the following:

1. Goals: Eveyone should have a fitness goal when starting to workout. If you don't, I suggest you make a long term one and a few short term ones to help keep you motivated. Be sure to include both in your post.

2. Make sure you include the time of day you eat your meals, what they consist of, and the macro breakdown of the foods.

3. Your current level of fitness, experiance, etc....

4. Your current stats. Age, sex, height, weight, bodyfat, etc...


Here is an example of a detailed post that will get great detailed answers on:

"Hello,

You can also include the macro breakdown of each meal which will give you an even faster response time.

I hope this helps everyone out.

And also take a few minutes to search the boards. Many people ask the same exact question, and all the kind people on the boards always provide the same exact reply

You can probably find your answers within a few minutes of searching. If not, then certainly post your questions, comments or concerns. Just use some of the above post so we can help you on your way

Good luck with it all!!

This exactly what I'm talking about. Good stuff! Hope it helps
