Training Help

[Geomancer]

Hi. I've been going to the boxing gym for about almost 2 months now. I recently changed my diet about a week ago. Just wanting to get advice on how everything looks. I'm 21 years old, weight 10 stone and height 5"7.
I go to the boxing gym on Monday or Tuesday and Thrusday evenings after work which is usually about 2 hours each evening.
Now i'm moving onto doing more training going to go to Monday, Tuesday and Thursday sessions. Going to switch between distance runs and HIIT on wednesday and saturdays. Friday i'll work on whatever I feel needs working on.

Old Diet

Morning - Cereal (Corn flakes) with semi-skimmed milk.

Noon - Cheese and ham sandwiches with margerine on white bread.

Evening - Whatever family cooked.

Drink - Varied from 1 to 3 cans of coke a day. Also throw in cups of tea.

New Diet

Morning - Porridge with banana

Late Morning - Cheese and ham sandwiches with margerine on whole-meal brown bread.

Mid Afternoon - Vegetable soup of some sort (Fresh kind not canned)

Evening - Whatever family cooked. (The food my parents cook is generally balanced. I can't really say anything specific because the meal changes everyday.)

Drink - No more than one cup of tea a day. Generally orange juice or water. 1 or two cans of coke during the week (If I do I increase the increase the intensity of my training).

Welcome to the forum, stick around!


That looks pretty decent, you'll adjust it as you progress and gain a better understanding of your bodies demands. Keep plenty of food in you, perhaps reduce the fizzy drink intake, you'd be surprised how big a difference that will make.

Also, a protein is important, I'm sure you get it in your family meal though.

Most importantly get your technique perfect and then every bit of conditioning you do will be supplementary.

You might want to eat some protein with your porridge for breakfast.
Maybe a glass of milk or a protein shake.

Also i wouldnt eat margerine, try mustard on your sandwhich, its much better for you.

My family meal is normally has some mixture of lean meats and vegetables. So protein is no problem. As for the fizzy drinks i'm trying to wean myself off it.

You need protein with every meal. It keeps your blood sugar steady and gives your muscles what they need to repair themselves and grow stronger.

Well Protein is very important during training. With boxing I flood my body with Protein after training and haver one large protein meal a day.

You'll know as your body starts to demand it.

Have you done much gym work in the past Geo?

I did a bit on and off earlier in the year. But being at university in my first year stuff kept getting in the way. But I should be able to keep a more steady routine for my second year.
