Food plan

Perfect 🌾 That’s very helpful — knowing your food preferences makes it easy to create something practical without forcing big changes. Since you’re doing light calisthenics to reduce body fat and build functional strength, the goal is to:

  1. Keep your energy steady (not hungry or weak).
  2. Control portions of rice while keeping protein and fiber high.
  3. Use local Malaysian food that feels familiar — not expensive “fitness food.”

Here’s a simple Malaysian-style daily meal guide that fits your lifestyle 👇


🍱 Simple Malaysian Food Guide for Light Calisthenics

🍚 General Rule

  • You can still eat rice three times a day, just adjust the portion:
    • ½ plate rice (around 1 small bowl)
    • ¼ plate protein (chicken, fish, egg, tofu, tempeh)
    • ¼ plate vegetables (broccoli, carrot, cauliflower, brinjal, corn)
  • Drink plain water frequently — at least 6–8 glasses daily.
  • Avoid sugary drinks (teh tarik, Milo ais, etc.) to reduce calorie surplus.

🌤 Breakfast Options (choose one daily)

Goal: energize muscles for the day, not feel bloated.

  • Option 1:
    Nasi lemak (small portion of rice) + boiled egg + cucumber + sambal (limit oil).

  • Option 2:
    2 slices wholemeal bread + 1 boiled egg or half tin tuna + banana.

  • Option 3:
    Oats or instant oatmeal with low-fat milk + sliced banana.

  • Option 4:
    Half plate fried rice (less oil) + 1 fried egg + broccoli or carrot side.

☕ Drink plain coffee or tea without sugar if you like caffeine.


🍛 Lunch Options

Goal: satisfy hunger, give energy for activity, control carb intake.

  • Option 1:
    ½ plate white rice + grilled or steamed chicken + broccoli/cauliflower + soup or clear vegetable dish.

  • Option 2:
    Nasi campur: choose fish or chicken without gravy + 1 vegetable (brinjal, corn, or carrot) + 1 spoon sambal only.

  • Option 3:
    Fried rice (small portion) + 1 egg + vegetables.

💡 Tip: Ask for kurang nasi, lebih sayur at stalls.


🌇 Dinner Options

Goal: light digestion, help recovery from exercise.

  • Option 1:
    ½ plate rice + grilled fish + steamed cauliflower and carrot.

  • Option 2:
    Vegetable soup with chicken or tofu + 1 small bowl of rice.

  • Option 3:
    Omelet with vegetables (broccoli, corn, brinjal) + small rice portion.

  • Option 4 (light meal):
    Boiled corn + banana or protein shake (if you prefer lighter).


🍌 Snacks (optional, once daily)

Choose 1 when hungry between meals:

  • Banana
  • Handful of roasted nuts (no salt)
  • 1 slice toast with peanut butter
  • 1 boiled egg

🥦 Weekly Target

  • Eat your vegetables every day (even a few spoonfuls).
  • Keep one “cheat meal” a week (like nasi kandar or fast food) to stay sane.
  • Focus on eating slowly — let your brain signal fullness.

🧠 Simplified Portion Trick (hand guide)

Use your hands to control portions:

  • 🍚 Carbs (rice): 1 cupped hand per meal
  • 🍗 Protein (chicken/fish/egg): 1 palm
  • 🥦 Vegetables: 1–2 fists
  • 🧈 Fat (oil/sambal): 1 thumb

Calisthenics 1

Hi 😊 that’s a great start — the fact that you’re moving daily already puts you ahead of many people. It sounds like your body composition changed a bit due to extra calorie intake, so the goal now is to gently reintroduce mobility, reduce excess fat, and build functional strength through light calisthenics.

Here’s a safe, gradual daily routine tailored for your height (158 cm) and current weight (80 kg). It’ll help you get lighter on your feet and prepare for more advanced moves later.

---

🌤 Warm-Up (5 minutes)

Do this every time before exercise to loosen your joints and raise heart rate:

1. Arm circles – 30 sec forward, 30 sec backward

2. Neck rolls – gentle, 30 sec

3. Torso twists – 1 min

4. March in place – 2 min (lift knees gently)

5. Ankle circles – 30 sec each foot


---

💪 Beginner Calisthenics Routine (10–15 minutes total)

1. Wall Push-Ups – 3 sets of 10–15 reps

👉 Stand arm’s length from a wall. Place palms on the wall and lower your chest towards it, then push back.
(Great for shoulders, chest, and arms without heavy strain.)

2. Incline Plank (on table or couch) – hold 15–30 sec × 3 sets

👉 Keep your body straight like a board.
(Builds core strength and improves posture.)

3. Chair Squats – 3 sets of 10 reps

👉 Sit down and stand up using a sturdy chair.
(Targets thighs and glutes; low impact on knees.)

4. Knee Raises (standing) – 3 sets of 10 reps per leg

👉 Lift one knee up toward your chest, lower, then switch.
(Helps with hip mobility and burns belly fat.)

5. Arm & Shoulder Extensions – 3 sets of 20 reps

👉 Raise arms sideways, make small circles or pulses.
(Tones upper body and improves endurance.)

6. Step Touch / March in Place – 2 minutes

👉 Keep moving rhythmically; great for heart health and fat burn.

---

🧘‍♀️ Cool Down (3–5 minutes)

1. Forward bend (touch toes) – 30 sec

2. Shoulder stretch – 30 sec each side

3. Quad stretch – 30 sec each leg

4. Deep breathing – 1 min


---

⚖️ Weekly Goal

Do this routine 5 days/week.

On rest days, take a short walk or do light stretching.

Track how many reps you can do — improvement is more important than perfection.

---

🍎 Bonus Tip

Since you mentioned eating a lot for muscle gain:

Keep protein high (eggs, chicken, tofu, fish, beans).

Reduce refined carbs and sugary snacks slowly — no need for sudden cuts.

Drink plenty of water.

Would you like me to prepare a 7-day rotating plan (so each day targets slightly different areas — like arms, legs, core, mobility)? That can help you stay consistent without boredom.
