Have I Been Given The Right Plan?

[irish0418]

so confused!

I'm having issues w/ my diet plan...I have a trainer but I'm uncertain of the plan he has given me.

Everyone says I'm eating too low of cals. but the trainer says that I shouldn't listen to everyone else because it depends on how long someone has been training, their body fat%, etc...

Height: 5'4"
Weight: 138.5
Plan: To compete in bikini

I typically hold body fat in the 'normal' female areas (belly, butt and upper thighs)


currently he wants me to:

Macronutrient Guidelines
Daily Totals for Leg and Back workouts
Protein: 140
Carbohydrate: 100
Fat: 40

On days you work chest and arms with the following totals
Protein: 140
Carbohydrate: 120
Fat: 40

Off or HIIT Cardio Days only
Protein: 130
Carbohydrate: 60
Fat: 45


Add third day of cardio of steady state.
So you will be doing 3 day per week ss, and 2 HIIT per week at 15 sprints.



What do you think about this? I don't want to stall my metabolism and do anything that will not give me progress but I also don't want to consume more calories if I don't need them....I'm really confused.

I've been working w/ him since November and havn't seem much progress...he claims thats because of the inconsistencies w/ the diet due to the holidays which can be true.

thoughts?

No I think you are right on. I go as low as 50-60 on my carbs some days. I would ask your trainer about uping your good fats on that low day just for fuel but I don't think you carbs are low at all. What your calorie count?

cals are around 1200-1300cal/day

Perfect!! I think you will have good results with that diet. Your trainer is right on!
