Subject: RE: is this a lot of foodI LOVE SUSHI! White rice isn't the best thing in the world but it's not like I eat it every day. So you wake up at 5:30-6:30 but don't eat anything until 10am...and you train then too? An average low-fat fruit yogurt has about 150 calories and a medium pear has about 100 calories. I'll assume you go to bed around 10pm and probably eat dinner by 8pm (just to make a point). This would mean that you are giving your body ~250 calories to sustain, recover, and build for 14 hours (10pm-noon). How's your training going...are you getting faster and stronger? I'd guess not so much. How could your body possibly get stronger without any building blocks? If you were having trouble loosing weight before then I know exactly why...you weren't eating enough. 5-800calories below daily requirements is all you need to lose 1lb per week. Restrict yourself much below that and your body will hold on to every ounce of fat it can and store more fat every chance it gets because it is in survival mode. I would suggest you eat at least 200 calories immediately after you wake up and then another 2-300 calories after you train. Recovery nutrition is extremely important if you want to get the benefits your are working for from your training. Do you have any idea how many colries you take in for an average day? |
