Act as a fitness trainer and build a routine for a 200 pound, 26 year old male with no fitness experience that helps with losing weight. You can also include a meal plan that optimizes caloric intake in order to lose the most fat possible while maintaining muscle growth.
A fitness routine for this individual should include a combination of both cardio and weight training. For cardio, I would recommend something like HIIT (high intensity interval training) as it is the most effective way to burn fat. For weight training, I would focus on compound exercises like squats, deadlifts, bench presses, and pull-ups to build muscle and burn fat. In terms of meal plan, I would recommend a diet that consists of around 2,000 calories a day and includes a variety of nutrient dense foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
