I am 25 yrs old, 175 lbs., 5’7.
Breakfast: omelet w/ham, onion, mozz. cheese
sometimes on a whole wheat muffin or bagel
sometimes a bowl of yogurt Cheerios instead
Lunch: turkey sandwich, or a salad w/chicken, lowfat dressing
Dinner: grilled chicken breast, steamed broccoli, sometimes a lean pocket if I am in a hurry
In between I snack on watermelon, pineapple, celery, and cucumbers, but I do have a weakness for low-fat pretzel rods…
I also walk two miles every morning and do Tae-Bo 4-5 times a week not to mention chasing after 3 small kids. On the weekends, I don’t excersize because I work.
I do not drink soda EVER, water and Crystal Light, once in awhile a diet snapple.
Oh yeah, I also take the "green tea pills" but this is more for energy than dieting, I have been taking them for almost five years.
All this and I have only lost like 2 lbs. in a month! I am very faithful and hardly cheat. What am I doing wrong?
First off, I’m 21, F, about 5’9 and 145ish. The only meat I eat is seafood, primarily fish. Anyways, i’m planning on eating 1,400 calories a day (I did a few online calculators and got maintenance levels at about 2,400 a day for my activity level and that you shouldn’ t subtract more than 1,000 calories a day from maintenance levels), mainly of veggies, fruits, yogurt, and fish, along with some eggs, cheese, other low-fat dairy, some nuts/seeds, whole grain wraps, fiber plus bars and every now and then either a 100 calorie pack or some sorbet if I’m really craving something. I also drink protein shakes too after I get done lifting weights. So as long as i’m eating these foods, staying around 1,400 calories a day, and exercising (cardio and weights) I should lose weight right? Any experience or tips would be great too! Thanks!
I don’t eat meat other than fish as I’m a pescetarian (vegetarian who eats fish), but I get plenty of protein. And I know I don’t actually need to lose it, but I really want to lower my body fat percentage so my muscles are more defined and "toned" looking. Right now I’m around 20%, but I’d really like to get to about 14-15%. Oh, I already don’t eat white/ processed flour, only whole wheat and whole grains and I very rarely eat chips or other fried foods. Since I don’t eat meat, except fish, I basically never eat fast food, so that’s a non-issue as well.
I just learned that one of my earliest family traditions is the following breakfast:
2 eggs
whole wheat toast + butter
whole milk
grapefruit juice
Our family line is hypoglycemic and seems to "crash" on simple carbs. My Grandpa made this breakfast every morning. According to him, he needed to do it to simply survive his day.
He would also eat Bacon every morning.
