Your the same weight and height as i am. cool! Anyway if you want to lose body fat and gain muscle you are going to have to do research and figure out what types of "clean" foods you like to eat. This is probably the hardest for most gym goers to figure out. Try and stay away from refined foods such as pasta, white rice, white rice. Try and eat more complex carbs that digest slower within the body such as green beans, spinach, tomato, carrots, cabbage, onions, salad, lettuce zucchini, broccoli, artichoke ,asparagus , yams oatmeal, corn potatoes ,peas, beans. As for lean proteins chicken breasts, turkey, breasts, ground beef extra lean, tuna ,shrimp, egg white or whole, protein powder. Again do your research on what types of foods to eat. Your diet is just as important and training.
Split your meals into even portions threw out your day and eat 5-6 times per day. To maintain your current weight you must take in around 2800 calories to gain weight about 1 pound per week you would need to up your caloric intake about 500 extra calories. To lose weight subtract 500 and you should lose about 1lb per week. Again do some research on why it is important to eat smaller meals more frequently through out the day.
Give your body some rest give your body at least 2 days to rest and recover. Although running 7 days a week is fine.
