Having trouble cutting

[hvivona]

Ok so I've been trying to cut and am having a lot of trouble. Maybe you all can help me. My upper body leans out fast, but lower body is the struggle

Stats:
28 years old 5'2.5" 125lbs not sure abt body fat

I've been eating clean for a while. I eat 5 or 6 small meals a day. about 1400 calories a day which is about 50% Protein 30% carbs 20% fat. workouts: MWF cardio- run 8-11 miles depending on my mood. TTHSat weight training- low weight/resistance with high reps Sun- off. On top of that I usually swim (leisurely) with my kids in the pool for an hour or so a day.

Supplements:
ON whey protein
Lipo6x
GNC women's ultra mega vitapak with CLA


ANy suggestions would be great!

Lower body for a lot of us takes a long time. But you are way low on calories for all of your activities. You've probably stalled your metabolism because of that. Slowly increase your cals until you start losing again. Don't be surprised if you have to get up to 1800+. Keep increasing cals until you've settled into a 1 pound a week loss.

You very well could be running TOO much. When i used to run long distance i couldn't lose the chub but when i injured my foot and just started weight training hard i lost body fat quickly.
