I am taking two conference trips in the next few weeks and I would like your suggestions on eating clean and often enough while traveling. Breakfast is my biggest challange. I love my oats and eggs at home and I can't think of a satisfiying breakfast while on the road. I don't usaually allow...

Ok, you guys....I need something that works for a female. I am trying hard to lean down for summer (which is here in my part of the country). I am 16% bf and it isn't going down. I eat extremely clean! I train 3-4 times a week and do cardio 5-6 for 45 min. Low carbs seem so be what most do to...

Spatt, my activity level is not the same everyday. I do cardio 5-7 days a week varying the time and intensity and train 3-4 days. Yesturday I eat every three hours and never felt like I needed to eat more. Today I have been very hungry. I am sore today and thought maybe that is why, recovering...

Spatt, I am still following your advice and things are starting to happen! i am averaging about 1400 cals a day, I hope that isn't too low but I can't seem to get more food in me. I haven't been able to get my bf done yet and I hope what I have lost is fat. I am down to 113 and I am sure some...

My engergy level is great! Friday I trained back, bi's and abs Saturday I took a 90 min course in agility, plyometics and iron pump. Today every is sore lol. I'm taking today off and back tomorrow although I'm not sure what to train since I'm sure I will still be pretty sore and I don't want...

Bikinimom, what is your activity level like and what and what does your diet look like?? Spatt, you wrote: "You would have to alter the times by when you train, and cycle the carbs 3 days low (.5g/kg body weight) and 2 days high (2.0g/kg body weight), or high on training days and low on non...

Spatt, I will write what I ate friday and saturday. I trained friday morning (usually i train in the afternoon): 5 am 1/2 balance bar gold before going to the gym 7:30 am Breakfast following WO: 1/2 cup oats, 6 egg whites, 1 tbps flaxseed oil (same breakfast every morning). 10:30 am Metabolift...

Over the last couple of days (since I posted the thread) I have been following the advice given, although mentally it has not been easy. I have been eating more.... Friday I had 1627 calories. My ratios were 27% C (112 g), 35% P(145 g) and 23% F(42 g). Resistance trained and 30 min cardio...

Sorry Spatt, didn't mean to offend you. I'm just trying to understand what is working for others since what I'm doing is working.

Spatt, I want to make sure I understand what you are saying... You eat 1400 cals a day and you gain weight if you eat more and lose if you eat less? If you lose weight is it muscle or fat? I think I am eating under my BMR and I'm not losing. Let me ask you this....do you think i should eat...

Spatt, are you sure I need that much more protien? You are 6 inches taller and out weigh me by 25lbs or so? Another question I have is, are you sure you burn 400 in a leg workout? I am using a program that tells our how much you are burning per activity (yes is in general) but it isn't anywhere...

I appreciate all the imput. My diet consist of more real food than bars or drinks. I am 5'2 with a BMR of 1500-1600, I think. So what would you suggest on grams of protien, carbs and fats per meal? I keep my meals at about 300 cals, 350 at the high end. It is hard to comprehend eating...

I use a Diet and Exercise Assistant application on my Palm and it says my BMR is between 1550-1650 depending my my activity level for the day. I record everything I eat and the exercise I do. I thought I should eat 300 cals less than my BMR and burn as much as I can to lose fat. It is obvious...
