For years I used to float around 6% body fat and felt Great..That pic that I have is when I was about 8.1%, I'm a bit leaner now, but I still have some "problem areas" that I would like to tighten up. I average 2100 calories a day... |

Sooner, I try to stay away from supplements as much as I can, but sometimes the convenience is too much of a factor...usually right after I work out and am not in the mood to cook or prepare something. When I DO have the time, I like to eat a lot of chicken and fish and on the days that I lift, I usually carb load at least one meal...something with a lot of brown rice or something like that. A typical Cardio (low calorie) day would look something like this: 7:00 non-fat cottage cheese and low fat yogurt (approx 180 calories) 10:00 can of seasoned tuna (approx 190 calories) 1:00 grilled chicken breast w/salad (approx 300 calories) 4:00 Egg sandwich on wheat bread (approx 320 calories) 6:00 Protein shake or bar (approx 320 calories) 9:00 Halibut or salmon filet w/ veggies (approx 280-400 calories) |

I seem to be in the same boat as you. I've dropped down to my target weight, but still have another percentage or so of body fat to lose. It's been a frustrating process, but bit by bit I'm getting my body fat down while maintaining my weight. When I initially cut down my body fat from 27% down to about 9%, I was doing a program similar to yours..a lot of cardio! (I was also eating way too few calories: 800/day) I lost a bunch of fat but lost quite a bit of muscle too. in the past month I've dropped from 9 to 7.5 by cutting back on the cardio to just 3 days a week and doing circuit training with wieghts on the days that I don't do cardio. As far as nutrition is concerned;I've been eating about 1 gram of protein per lb of lean body weight/day.. I'm 6 ft and 170 lbs and eat about 14,700 calories each week. I've found that "calorie cycling" has been effective for me. So, I might eat 1,300 calories one day and 2,700 calories the next, 1,600 the next, etc.. so that by day 7 I've eaten 14,700 calories (2,100/day average)...I'm not sure how that would translate to your situation, but hopefully it's at least a little bit helpful. |
