Any help on how to maintain muscle mass through exercises that can be done at home? I know of the normal ones (push ups, sit ups, etc) but I'm not sure how many to do. Also, some are supposed to be very bad for people who are overweight (as in it hurts their joints or somehting) so I'm not sure what I should be doing at all.
Okay, today I ate 1400 calories total
7:00 rice (200 cal)
9:00 pinapple (<100 cal)
10:00 (suddenly got hungry) more pinapple (<100 cal)
12:00 chickpeas salad (200 cal)
3:00 (forced "lunch") rice and something fried made out of flour (450 cal)
8:00 spicy cream of wheat stuff (300 cal)
9:00 banana (<100 cal)
OMG you're right, I have like nothing but carbs over there!
And when I put it this way I feel like such a cow for eating like a million times a day. But if I eat 3 large meals I'll over stuff myself, so I think I'll just leave it as is.
Anyway, didn't do much exercise today, just 20 minutes playing DDR. |
The calories are good, but Mike is right, you really should look into adding a lot more protein to your diet, and the carbs you are eating are mostly simple carbs (not complex whole grains or fiberous foods).
Have you considered getting some adjustable dumbbells at home? Dumbbells alone can help you maintain your muscle mass through some weightlifting.
