Subject: RE: Weight loss advice? (low body fat but high BMI) If you know your actual BF, throw BMI out the window. Calipers however, will not tell you your actual BF as accurately as a bodpod, a dexa, or as you mentioned, water displacement. But the answer to your question, is the same as it is for a superclyde like me - eat less, move more. I don't mean to be a smart-aleck, but yeah, that's pretty much it. If you're trying to fuel long runs in a high-carb way, check out the work of Dr Bob Seebohar on metabolic efficiency. I just got into the book, which is probably beyond my needs as just a regular old slow fat guy - but for someone with actual potential for marathon times, he may be talking right to you. |
