I'm at 5'4 and 122.2 now and I've been there for the past week and a half or so :/ I eat pretty clean, I'm taking in 13-1400 calories a day, mostly clean . I always make sure to hit my protein requirements. I don't really count fat/carbs, i just try to keep fats low a typical day for me would be 2 egg whites , 28 g ff cheese , 2 slices turkey bacon in a low carb pita - 165 cal an apple and a weight watchers string cheese - 120 cal for the past few days I've been having a fiber one cookie - 90 cal but i don't think i'm going to purchase them again because i feel guilty about eating them 4 oz of teriyaki chicken or turkey grilled in a pan with olive oil pam and 28 g ff cheese in a low carb tortilla - 235 cal or 4 oz of grilled chicken or turkey, 1 1/2 tbsp bbq sauce , 2 slices of turkey bacon and 28 g ff cheese in a low carb tortilla - 295 cal pre workout nature's valley oat bar post workout 1 cup ff greek yogurt , 1 tbsp natural honey , 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts - 360 cal dinner - usually the same as lunch for the most part and if i have calories left over i'll eat something small I also try to do cardio 2x a day. sometimes i'll do a fasted spin class for 40 min or bike ride for an hour in the morning or I'll go on the elliptical fasted for 20 minutes if i decide to go to the gym and after i lift in the afternoon i walk on a 15% incline for 20 minutes at 3.5-4.0 mph what am i doing wrong ?
Im not losing fat and it's really getting me down :/ Maybe this: http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat...-fat-loss.html Tons of activity combined with an already huge deficit can fuss stuff up Maybe inaccurate calorie tracking. Also, feeling guilty about eating a 90 calorie cookie is as orthorexic as it gets.
Im not losing fat and it's really getting me down :/ You might benefit from more accurate calorie counting. http://www.fitnessfactreview.com/the...orie-counting/
Im not losing fat and it's really getting me down :/ how can it get more accurate then weighing everything u eat ? lol
Im not losing fat and it's really getting me down :/ my deficit isn't huge , lol it's 500 calories , my maintenance is like 1900ish And i'm usually doing no more then an hour of cardio a day and lifting
Im not losing fat and it's really getting me down :/ Ok, well it's really one of three things: - You're making a mistake counting calories. - your metabolism has slowed drastically. - you have a rare medical condition.
Im not losing fat and it's really getting me down :/ Could also be water retention from excess sodium/carbs.
Im not losing fat and it's really getting me down :/ Try reducing calories to 1200 and decreasing workouts, especially intensity? Hormones might be messed up if you're overtraining while on a caloric deficit. I notice, when I start working out too hard and enthusiastically it's hard for me to lose weight, because my body wants to grow, not get smaller. Then on a calorie deficit I will feel awful, and get very hungry, and tired.
Im not losing fat and it's really getting me down :/ you're more than likely not accounting for your cardio into your diet? if you're running for 30 minutes you need to be eating 300-400 calories more, not doing this could put you into a severe deficit and in result cause your body to hold onto fat stores due to the drastic deficiency... if you're maintaining a 500 calorie deficit YOU WILL lose weight.
Im not losing fat and it's really getting me down :/ As other have said drop your calories, 1400 at 122 is fine if you are very active, but if you work an office job and workout an hour a day then 1200 might be more appropriate.
