i dont think you're eating enough to get all your body's fat burning and muscle building mechanisms working properly and consistently.

are you trying to starve yourself? what exactly are your goals? your body needs calories to function. if you dont eat enough calories, you arent gonna lose any weight belive it or not cus your body will go into starvation mode and just hold onto the weight you have in order to protect itself. you gotta eat more an, bottom line. some guidelines to follow...

-eat a meal every 2-3 hours
-have 5-8 small meals a day
-eat at least 1g of protein per pound of body weight(ie; if you weigh 150lbs, eat 150g of protein)

First of all, STOP THAT!


Then, take a look at peoples' sample diets on here. You are almost certainly starving yourself.

EAT MORE

You have like 700 calories in that diet....thats dangerous as hell.


Eat around 2000-2500 calories a day ( probably closer to 2500) consisting of good foods ( tuna, chicken breasts, vegetables, cottage cheese, etc) and you WILL lose weight at a good pace if you continue with the cardio you are doing.

Oh God this sounds like a POW camp.

[iverson2k10]

yea but i burn 500 Calarioes a day, and yet there 3,500 Calarious in a pound. so i feel very limited............sorry im just a N00b

[kasso99]

check out this link, guy. ****Ignore the superdrol stuff****, but read up on the HARRIS BENEDICT formula for basal metabolic rate.

Remember, your body burns a large number of calories just to perform daily functions and to keep you breathing buddy. You're burning WAY more than 500 calories daily.

You don't actually. The number of calories you burn is much higher than that. That's (if you've measured/calculated it right) the number of calories you burn from exercise alone. Your body continues existing and living and burning through fuel even when you're not exercising. It's called your RMR (resting metabolic rate). Check out one of the calculators on this site for your approximate RMR.

Everything you do, breathing, walking, standing, whatever, takes energy. Even if you do NOTHING all day, your heart still beats, you still breath, etc. You're on a real starvation diet and your body, wanting to save itself from dying, is going to eat your muscle and hold onto every last little bit of fat you have.

My RMR is around ~1800kCal a day, and that's for doing NOTHING at all. Some days I lift weights, some days I go biking for 1-2 hours. I eat over 2500kCal a day just to maintain my current weight. You need to eat a LOT more than you are for your activity level (again, calculators give a useful if not completely accurate estimate) in order to gain/lose weight properly. And lose the sweat suits too, you're asking for hyperthermia/dehydration/heat stroke, etc, which is really damaging to your body.

Start by eating good foods like: oats, chicken, cottage cheese, fruits, vegetables, brown rice, sweet potatoes, eggs, milk, beans, whole grain breads, etc. There are lots of healthy things to eat that will HELP you achieve your goals. Food isn't an enemy, when you eat right it's your best friend.

Stop doing what you're doing, even if you are losing weight/whatever, your metabolism is going to slow, and your muscle will deteriorate. And how long can you keep this kind of thing up? Starving and training to exhaustion? Read the articles on nutrition.

don't do this. this doesnt burn more calories, it just depletes your body of more water...you dont actually lose weight. you lose water. and its dangerous.

[iverson2k10]

i didnt know i was starving myself honestly. i thought i was eating the normal 3 times a day. its that i work all day long in an office with no breaks. 9am-7pm so i really dont know what to do when it comes to eating habits because its not like i can go and shop at any giving point. I wish i can figure out somehow an eating plan

[Be-Be]

In general, eat more and get out of the sauna. All the sweating does is give you temporary water weight loss which you should be drinking right back on. You really need to dedicate yourself to finding out more about how your body works and nutrition. Your goal should be to lose 1 - 2 pounds a week, less if you are building muscle.

Here's a down and dirty way to figure calories needed.
Figure your calorie needs with this equation:
66 + (6.3 x body weight in lbs.) + (12.9 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age in years)

This gives you your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). Multiply it by 1.2.

This is now the minimum amount of calories to eat. Estimate the amount of calories burned through exercise and that is your calorie deficit. (Don't depend on the cardio machine readouts.) If that is more than 500 - 750 calories, eat the difference. For instance, if you burned 1,000 calories in exercise, you will want to eat 250 - 500 calories more.

IF you are not losing 1 - 2 pounds per week and that is your goal then decrease your minimum number of calories by 250 - 500 per day. (Your goal shouldn't be higher but if you are trying to build muscle it could be lower.) Never go below 1,500 calories. Make sure your cardio is so intense that you are worn out in 30 - 45 minutes (no magazine reading) and lift heavy for 30 - 60 minutes.

I've lost almost 60 pounds this way but I did it slow and steady while making lifestly changes that will guarrantee that I don't have to do it again.

If you have a history of eating disorders, please get professional help. This is the diet of an anorexic.

im Hispanic (dominican Republic)

and our main meal is White Rice, Beans, and anytype Meat i mostly eat Chicken. and they say that its fattning song how. and thats my main food, i never seen it get me fat at all but im scared to eat it now because i dont see progress in my Weight loss. at 12pm everyday i eat a bowl of white rice, beans, chicken, a salad and water. and thas my strongest meal of the day, and after that i find lil things to munch on for the rest of the day

[Be-Be]

Chicken is good unless you bread it and/or deep fry it. Remove the skin and any breading it may have. Make it your primary protien and eat at least 3 oz 3 - 6 times a day. Beans and white rice aren't your best friends but you make due with what you have. Have smaller portions of them (maybe a 1/4 - 1/2 cup each) with each meal. Sounds like you have friuts and vegetables, so suppliment each meal them and use them as snacks.

Go to fitday.com and enter all your food to find out overall calories. If you eat too little, you will lose muscle and look terrible.

Are you translating this with a computer program? Let me know if you are and something doesn't come through. Usually rewording it helps the translation process.

[the.ech0]

I'm Dominican too, and I know how it is, my mom cooks the same. But I say **** it and buy my own food and cook it myself. I started to get fat cause I would just eat that and junk food. So I decided to change.

Make sure you read the stickies, you wanna know as much as you can about your body as someone said previously. It does look like your trying to starve yourself which isn't good. Read as much as you can, then make a plan and stick to it! Good luck!

[iverson2k10]

what do eat to replace that meal?
