Losing weight on new shift?

[Anonymous]

I have a new shift from 6-2. I want to start losing weight again and gain muscle tone on my butt/thighs which I feel have been getting too dimply/small. I am planning on skipping lunch and going on right to dinner after work but I am unsure on what to make for breakfast that could be quick and fulfilling. I am also contemplating on joining LA fitness and just start on weight training and no cardio with the exception of restricting to 1200 cals a day. I want the fat from my stomach and back gone. I weight right now at 115lbs at 5 ft and want to go down to 100lbs.

Why no cardio?

As long as you keep your calories in check meal timing doesn't really matter. Aim for 0.7-1g protein per lb of goal weight. Be sure to hit protein target, and fill the rest of your calories with whatever you want. As far as removing stomach and back fat- you can't spot reduce. Where the weight you lose comes from is based on body type and where you store fat. Lifting will definitely help to make you look better.

For breakfast- I like eggs with veggies. Make a fritatta once a week and take some each day.

You need something with a lot of protein. Volume would help too. I would probably do a protein shake blended with frozen fruit.
