If you eat at least one portion or serving of protein and carbs at each meal - you'll be okay but
you can also go here to see how to figure out the right of amounts of carbs, fats and protein YOU need.

If I have oatmeal & 1boil egg along with a whey protein shake for breakfast, yogurt for morning snack, lunch have veggie salad or pimento cheese sandwich on wheat bread, another whey protein shake & raw celery for afternoon snack and a sensible dinner. Am I on the right track. I have a problem selecting the right things for the 5 meals. I know I can substitute almonds for my snack sometime. Right now I am taking omega 3, chromium piconlin, multi- vitamin, calcium, fluid pill & potas., b-12 & protein shake & walk 6days a week for 2.5 miles. Please advise .

Hi Adrianne...
I stumbled across your website in my attempt to get some answers as to why I am not losing weight. At my highest I was 196lbs...I'm 44...and historically have been active, athletic. I did go through a season over the past 7 years following a near fatal car accident where my activity level was decreased...and at times low. I know there has been stress with a move to Texas, the addition of two adopted children, a full time job, finances, etc...and during these times in the past 4 years, while my brain was on overload and active, my body was not.
Almost a year ago, desperate when I saw the scale tip past 195, I launched yet one more "diet" that a friend was doing, a medically supervised cookie diet. I did lose 20 pounds....but I'm sure I lost a ton of muscle too. This past february my husband and I joined back up with a group fitness class for 20 weeks of cario and weight training...interval training and core. it was 4-5 days a week. In addition I've been wearing my bodybugg from 24 hour fitness...so have been keeping track of calories in and out....and reporting results to my trainers daily as required.
Over the 5 months, I lost 4 lbs. I know I gained a lot of muscle, and lost fat based on measurments. And i have really tried hard to not let the scale dictate success and failure to me. I'm proud of my intensity and ability to finish what I started and transition now to a new routine at 24 which includes the same interval cardio/weights....also adding a turbo kick boxing class 1-2 times a week, and a Zumba class a couple times...I'm averaging burning between 2100-3000 calories a day...and are eating between 1300-1600...ocassionally a bit more if a special occasion...as "cheat meals" were encouraged weekly...but I took them sporadically at best.
I'm just looking for answers...the only other thing I can think of is that I need to cut carbs and cut out all sugar/bread/diet coke....the bread I eat is 100% whole grain...was trying to eat a more balenced diet...but maybe my body just cant handle the carbs?
Any thoughts? I'm doing my best to ward off frustration...cause I don't want to give in...but I would like to see some results.
I am going to make an appointment with the doc to get thyroid tested again...
Thanks for any advice.

you can fiddle around with your ratios to see what works best for you and YES... DO CUT OUT ALL SIMPLE SUGARs and even diet cokes and...
Have you been doing the same thing for the last 5 months workout wise? how often do you change your workout intensity or routine?
I'm only supposed to have 1100 cals & 25 grams of fat per day. I like eating 1 daily serving of healthy nuts--almonds, walnuts, and peanuts--but they take up so much of my fat gram "allowance". Do I cut out the nuts or keep eating them regardless of going over the allowance? thanks!
you're going always go over or under in something with carbs, proteins and fats so don't worry too much about that and you can eat the nuts plus...
nuts are a good source of protein and fat
Ok, I'm 15, my current weight is 142 pounds, I am a 6 feet maybe a little over and for the most part im a pretty skinny person (as I hear). I would say i have about a couple pounds of fat to lose before you can see my abs. My brother who once was scrawny but now after two years of lifting is ripped tells me that if I continue to lift like I have been with him 6 days a week including HIIT on the eliptical the little extra fat on my body will be turned to muscle. Is this true? I thought I should try to burn this fat with HIIT and intense weight lifing but he says the fat will turn to muscle. Who is right?
Your need to eat proper foods that will help you gain muscle but ive always known it to be the fat will turn into muscle thus being why a heavier person who starts to diet and exercise will loose weight but then gain it back muscle ways more so when u gain your muscle you will be gaining weight.You will loose the weight again but as you bulid muscle and loose weight your actual weight will go up and down. It is always important to gain muscle before loosing weight so you dont have any sagging skin or extra skin. hope that helped some and didnt confuse you.
I am 32 years old and workout 5 to 6 time a week. Having trouble figuring out these ratios. I weigh 200lbs but do a good amount of weight training. What is best for pre-workout meal (breakfast) and whats good for the post-workout.
I'd just like to know if this is good/bad I am 13, weigh 127 pounds am 5 Foot 7 Inches thus making my BMI 21 I'm 85% sure. My average daily intake is 1543 Calories, every day I do 50 3KG Barbell lifts (reps I believe is the right term) of both arms, 500 star jumps with 1.5KG weights in each arm, 100 situps while lifting 3KG and 5 minutes of joggin while holding 3KG in each arm (not to mention all teh activity I do at school including walking to school and just general school activity liek football etc...). With all this I still remain slightly fat and am baffled.
I'm baffled as to why you think you are fat at your weight and height.
you are not doing anything wrong - it's just that people of your weight and height will take longer to lose weight than the people who actually need to lose weight.
I think you should be MORE than happy with your current weight
Hi Sam, 127lbs at '5 6", with all the muscle building you do and at your young age, I can't imagine what you see as fat on you. I am very surprized that at 13 yrs old, you would be so concerned about your weight. As long as you are eating healthy choices everyday and getting exercise (as you definitely are), I wouldn't be worried over what you feel is "slightly fat". Enjoy your youth and dont get too obsessed with a little fat (if there is any). Developing good eating and exercise habits at your young age will definitely help you in later years but have fun while exercising. Body image is important for ones self confidence but obsession with it can lead to many emotional problems. You are young, Sam and you should be more concentrated on school and having fun. Life is short and you want to enjoy everyday of your youth, making great memories for yourself. Good luck, my friend.
I am concerned about all the skin I have and what can be done to make it look better while I'm losing weight. Do you have any suggestions for all the potential loose skin that may sag?
If you are talking about bely fat you need to do lower abdomen crunches and upper abdomen crunches. Lower abdomen crunches take baby pouches away so im sure they will take away loose skin from weight loss to and upper abdomen just help even out the belly. For leg fat try walking atleast 30 mins a day i walk 45 not just a flat walk make it a walk that goes flat to a hill to flat etc this burns fat while toning.
Hey, I am 5'5 145lbs and am very fit. I work out 5-6 times a week and would like to know what is the best percentages of carbs protein fat to eat to lose weight without losing muscle? I know standard is 50-30-20 but is that best for losing weight?
Thanks,
Amanda
You'll just have to play around with it and see for yourself what the best ratio is but as for maintaining muscle...
I would make sure to eat at least 30% protein.
for faster fat burning + muscle maintain - I would try 40-40-20 but again...
this may not be best for you
I am 5'4 and weight 140lbs, I have gained 12 pounds since I have been on my deployment. I am very fit, I work out 5 times a week and I run everyday somtimes twice a day.
