I use to work out a good bit back in college and still kept decent muscle tone in my arms and chest even though i rarely work out any more.

My diet isn't the best but it isn't crap either. I stay away from saturated fats as much as possible. I eat very little junk food. When I am working home which is most of the time I will eat a sandwich or lean cruise frozen dinner, which are good because I can track calorie intake. I figure on most days I am taking in about 1500 - 2000 calories. I eat out a couple times a week (either lunch or dinner) and when I do i usually eat crap. I only drink water or no calorie drinks. If I am going to take in calories its not going to be from a liquid. I rarely drink, don't smoke.

When I jog I do it on the treadmill, mainly to keep track of calories burned. I typically burn between 300 - 750 calories depending on how far I run. The shortest I run is a speed run (which for me is pretty fast) 2.5 miles in 20 minutes. If I do a long run I will run 6 miles in about 1 hour and burn about 750 calories.

I just started mixing in some weights but for the past month I've just been running.

I don't take vitamins, pills or anything like that.

So what should I do?

Back in college before I started sitting in front of a PC all day I was about 185, ripped abs and in great shape, very active. Damn internet... yanking it and sex has been the most exercise I have gotten the last 10 years.

just a couple of observations, you could be consuming more sodium than you need, not sure what the sodium content is of the lean cuisines but it might have a lot. the sodium will hold a lot of h20. the bread is also not conducive to showing abs, i am off bread entirely- the starch is not good.

i'd imagine carlosthegaucho will do the math on your weight and such and make some good suggestions on your caloric intake.
