Thanks
Yeah.. but it's toooo much of cal.


Today breakfast

1/2 cup of oatmeal with some Stevia
3 pc. of strawberry
5 slice of turkey breast
1 cup of coffee with 1/4-1/4 cup of 1-2% milk (not mine, I'll buy fatfree later) Just can't drink coffee black.


Today I'd like to do legs, let me know what I should do with the "red circles".

 

[myd]

Yesterday I did my triceps, as I wrote before. I thought I did it right, and still hoping. I did it moderate weight, nice and slowly, to failure and I don't feel any pain in my arm. This makes me concerned sometimes...

I put my cottage cheese and smuckers pb nutritions in the customised cell on fitday.

 

[jenscats5]

1) Great job on using Fitday!! I use the Custom Food Feature on fitday ALLLLLLLL the time - anything I buy - I add it into custom foods....my custom food list is huge!!

2) How much do you weigh again?

3) Just a reminder on the "red circle" areas: On women, the hips/abs/thigh area have a tendency to be the last to respond just due to biology.....it's the way women are made.....so give it time.....if you're adding some muscle there, it can take some time for the areas to show results....just try & be patient - which I know is hard to do.....

 

[myd]

I actually have some bone there too around the red circle, but mostly fat.

I was on some kind of pill recently for acne -not bad type at all but this age I shouldn't have any. The side-effect was birth-control So does this change anything about my workout?Does this mean that I have more estrogen now which makes my fat-loss harder?

I re-done my yesterday food-intake report. Looks better, that 2 thousand something number scared me. So is it OK now, should I add or take off something? I would take some fat/carbs off, so the cal won't be this high (for me it is high). It might have not been my cheat day then


Ok, I'd really like to know what kind of alcohol allowed on the cheat day that is not going to ruin the whole thing..?I guess no coctails sa. Pina colada -yummie

Actually, acne can occur at any age.....your being older doesn't make you immune to it....

Cocktails or alcohol will greatly increase your cals for the day, plus they have a LOT of sugar - especially frozen drinks....

How much do you weigh again?? that way I can figure out what calorie range you should be shooting for daily......



Give yourself some time to learn about all this - it can take awhile and it's ok if it's a gradual proces....it's a learning experience......So don't beat yourself up for making mistakes - it happens....I didn't learn all this overnight either.....

 

[myd]

Woooopps. I missed that part.

According to our home-scale which is I heard not accurate, 1 minute ago 111 lb and 19%BF. I am going to measure myself today at the gym and ask a trainer to check my bodyfat.

THANK YOU!!


Alcohol, I guess some shots, not brown/colored alcohols, like vodka..tequila. I have had before dry red wine for the red-blood-cells, I am not sure whether it's ok or not. After if I overeat myself mistakenly or not, and go do some extra cardio, does that make up for it?

THANK YOU!!

If you're trying to lose bodyfat your minimum calories would = 1,110 and the max would = 1,332 cals....so try & keep your cals between those 2 numbers daily with a cheat meal 1x a week.....

All alcohol isn't really good for you......color doesn't matter.....and binge drinking isn't a good idea.....

With alcohol present in your system, your body will work on burning the alcohol off FIRST and any foods you eat will not be burned off as the body is fighting to do something with the booze.....

Got it!!


Something isn't good. I just had my lunch. I still have the rest of my day left to eat and I am almost by the calorie intake you suggested. Take a look, please!

[Roonytunes]

Can you post what you're eating at each meal & the times you're eating these meals? It would be easier for us to make suggestions that way on how you can partition your portions/cals through the day.

 

[myd]

This is what I have eaten till now.

Oh, and I had a half a cup of FF cottage cheese, too.

 

[Roonytunes]

After lunch
protein Whey powder (scitec) ( 7 tablespoon ) 479 6 8 97

It appears the above is the culprit. It is making up more than half of your calorie intake so far. Are you sure you have the right numbers for this protein powder? I don't see any need to eat 97g of protein at one sitting.

I 2nd this - that's a helluva lot of cals for protein powder!!

Plus, real food is better anyway - like some cooked chicken + a veggie

 

[myd]

OK Ladies!!!
Modified again!

I looked after it, the fitday I guess did not take the serving size as I wanted. So now it looks a lot less, even yesterday!!! And it seems like I should eat something else, too.
Oh, for dinner I had sashimi, and fitday didn't have white tuna in and I also dont know the nutriotions for it, so it'll stay blank. Can't be too much.

What else should I eat?

Wow! Was this for the whole day? 800 calories is VERY low for anyone. 1300 calories a day is the absolute minimum you should go in my opinion. It's going to be very hard to lose any more bodyfat and gain muscle with this amount.

By eating so little - your body is clinging onto every last remnant of fat in your body cuz it it thinking in famine mode....

Have you been eating this lowe in calories for a long time?

 

[myd]

I know I know.
But I got scared after I put my protein powder in Fitday (remember??)and it showed that 9hundres something, so I held back. And now I am home, double checked it and input the correct amount. So I am going to eat some chickenbreast more and anpb maybe FF cottage cheese.
Oh, and I someone sent me a cookie...

 

[myd]

OK, I am laready eating strawberry, cottage cheese and had shaved turkey breast, 1 teaspoon PB. It will be 1047 Cal, what else should I eat????I don't want too much of nuts because of the painful acnes I've been developing..

What if I have xy calories a day, it's lower I should eat and I'd put some junk in earlier, so still not enough of calorie??

Oh, earlier this mornig I posted my weight measured at home. When I got to the gym I was 110 lb, when I finished I was 114lb. I had been drinking water during, were sweating like a pig and peepeeed.. How is that possible????


OK, I've eaten all above, I am feeling full. But the calorie is still not enough..

OK, I've eaten all above, I am feeling full. But the calorie is still not enough..

First of all, I wouldn't obsess about scale weight so much. As women, we tend to hold a lot of water. Our weight can go up and down up to 5lbs during the day depending on what we eat and drink. If you want, you can use the scale as a relative measure to how you are doing overall. If you can't handle that, then stop stepping on the scale. Go by how you feel and how you look...if you can get the same person to measure your bodyfat each time, then use that to keep track of your progress. The tape measure is also another good alternative.

Nuts and nut butters are not the only EFA (good fat) options available to you. If you have skin problems, you may want to add more Omega-3 type fat to your diet eg. salmon or flax (flax seed oil, milled flax). Milled flax or ground flaxseed can easily be added to your regular meals as a topping to your salad/veggies, oats or even in your protein shake. Avacado is very calorie and fat dense, so you can look into that too possibly.

No, it's not about eating XY cals and then adding junk to make your calorie total for the day. Yous should aim for XY cals = clean, good cals = calorie total for the day. At the lower calorie range you fall in, that should not be hard to do at all. Now that you are using fitday, figure out your macros - %carbs, %protein, %fat. What are you lacking? What are you eating too much of? Then add/delete those foods to your daily eating.

Finally, research on your own, read the stickies on top, look at the other logs here......

Are you sure you have the #s right in Fitday?? I can't see how *only* strawberries, cottage cheese, turkey breast & PB can add up to 1047 cals.....

Again, check out the other logs like Roony's, mine & the other ladies' not competing for ideas on what to eat, when, etc....

What if I have xy calories a day, it's lower I should eat and I'd put some junk in earlier, so still not enough of calorie??

No!

Oh, earlier this mornig I posted my weight measured at home. When I got to the gym I was 110 lb, when I finished I was 114lb. I had been drinking water during, were sweating like a pig and peepeeed.. How is that possible????

Because, as women - you can weigh up to 10 lbs more from morning until night.....For example if you weigh yourself this morning you can weigh 110lbs & if you weigh yourself this evening it coulc be anywhere from 114 to 120lbs due to water retention, food absorption, etc.....only weigh yourself 1x per week......

OK, I've eaten all above, I am feeling full. But the calorie is still not enough..

Can you post up the public link to your fitday account so we can look at it??

Go to the "home" link & copy/paste the link here.....

Did you measure your oatmeal this morning dry or cooked?? Cuz you chose cooked........ How did you eat 1/4 of an egg yolk?? Just curious.....

I measure it dry. How should I???

1/4 yolk. Boil the egg, cut half, than half of the half...


It is clean. I cleaned it yesterday and it was full again..?!!

That's fine you measured it dry.......but in your Fitday log you chose "cooked" instead of dry, so your total will be wrong.....

Did you not eat the rest of the day?? I see no other food added.....

 

[myd]

I did eat, I just got home recently, had no time to put them on. I also woke up pretty late..

I thought I measure it dry, and then I put it on cooked bc I eat it cooked and it probably changes the outcome. I do the same with rice and cream of wheat. Measure it dry and put it in as cooked. Tell me plese what's the correct!

If you're measuring it dry, enter it as dry - like the oatmeal......

With the rice, I cook it 1st then record it as cooked.....say 1/2 cup, cooked brown rice......

Doesn't the Cream of Wheat come in packets?? Then you'd choose 1 packet.....

I've refreshed my list for today.

I need help with these: What is NLEA, NFS ?
I think I am just going to cook the oatmeal and then measure it.
How much is too much of it? Do you think my breakfast is good or should I change something?

 

[alex2678]

NLEA and NFS. Nothing related to dieting. Just some facts though.

NLEA: Nutrition Labeling and Education Act. Just says foods are required to have labeling with exception of a few.

* food served for immediate consumption, such as that served in hospital cafeterias and airplanes, and that sold by food service vendors--for example, mall cookie counters, sidewalk vendors, and vending machines
* ready-to-eat food that is not for immediate consumption but is prepared primarily on site--for example, bakery, deli, and candy store items
* food shipped in bulk, as long as it is not for sale in that form to consumers
* medical foods, such as those used to address the nutritional needs of patients with certain diseases
* plain coffee and tea, some spices, and other foods that contain no significant amounts of any nutrients.

NFS: Nutrition and Food Sciences?

 

[myd]

I see!! Thanks!

I saw it on fitday when I put the serving size in, I saw them as an option and confuses me sometimes, maybe that is the right I need..

Check out all the ladies' logs for meal ideas along with the Recipe thread.....

Ohhh don't follow my diet either!!!! I think when I first got on the board I wanted to get the best diet ever to make me lose all my body fat and gain muscle and thought well a competitior probably has the best way to do this. A cutting diet is not a diet for the average joe. It is specifically designed after months of getting the body in check. Like figuring out your own personal RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate), How many calories you burn on the tread, in weights, throughout the day. Also, you have to take into account where your body has been and what you have done to it. You have to actually increase your calories to get your metabolism burning again and make your body feel and think it's not in starvation mode. When it's in that mode your body will want to store every calorie rather then burn it because it has no idea when you are going to fuel it again. If you consistently eat every few hours providing it with accurate nutrients then it will have a easier time letting you burn the calories because it knows within a few hours you are going to feed it again. Once you have your body stabilized at a higher calorie intake then you can start playing with zig zagging high and low carb days with your weight days, or dropping calories, adding calories, upping cardio... Different ways to hit your body and shock it. Again, you have to get your body to homeostasis before you can even think about playing with any of this stuff. The Shadow plan is based off a 40/30/30 diet and if you take that and since you have been so low on calories I would suggest starting out by going to 10X your bodyweight and slowly increase the cals to at least 1200 calories. You have to slowly increase your calories since your body has been thinking it's in starvation mode. Let it get used to a bit higher cals, then slowly up them again... This will speed up your metabolism and get you back to where you should be. If you are looking to have a muscular, athletic body you need to fuel it and eat for it. If you are looking for the Niki Hilton, or the Olsen look or every other screwed up Hollywood star then starve your body and eat away all the muscle by sticking around an 800 calorie diet. It takes time, patience, and a LOT of work. If it's your goal then that's what you have to do....

Thank you!
I have increased my calories, I eat about 1100-1300 a day. I am sooo scared to eat much, because like the other day, I didnt have my cal for the day. So I ate some cabbage, PB and I ended up by mistake 1390. I just checked it now and I am very upset that I went up to this high.

Is Farina the same as Cream of Wheet? I researched on it and all of them were cream of wheat is the prepared farina.
I put the nutrients in, custom made..and like 3 times more than the one I put in there from the list (it's a new one I had today).

Also, a guy talked to me in the gym, he trains there some people, helped me out with something and told me because of I have spinal curvature (s) and some call it double joint (over extented) (knees, elbows, little shoulder, maybe hips) it makes everything different. So I guess this is why my muscles don't develop because of the tension and the degrees I do, my movements aren't as suppose to be.

[myd]

[Roonytunes]

dont eat raw tuna and macarel either!!!

Huh? I eat tuna and mackerel sushi a lot and am totally fine.

 

[myd]

I did eat tuna, too. Morewhat, Loved it. I saw a report about it in the news not long ago.
I eat now only octopus, salmon, white tuna- not sure about it, but tastes like candy, yummie- crab, shrimp, eel sometimes.

"Some types of sushi, such as California rolls (which contain steamed crab) and cooked eel, are fine to eat. But it's best to avoid eating the kinds that contain raw seafood, such as tuna.

Fresh, raw seafood is potentially risky because it can contain parasites such as tapeworm, which, if they grow large enough, could rob your body of nutrients needed. Freezing and cooking deep-sixes the parasites. For this reason, many Japanese restaurants that specialize in sushi use frozen rather than fresh fish. But restaurants in the United States aren't required to freeze fish before serving it raw"

"Scrombriod Poisoning:

Source: Tuna, bonito, mackerel, albacore, aku, sardines, anchovies, and numerous other fish part of the Scrombriod order are subject to a special form of poisoning due to spoilage. These fish may taste sharp and pungent.

Cause: Inadequate refrigeration allows marine bacteria to interact with the flesh of the fish and produce histamine and saurine, the chemicals responsible for the symptoms. Scombroid poisoning (also called histamine poisoning) is caused by the ingestion of foods that contain high levels of these histamines, and possibly other amines and compounds. Eating tuna and similar species that aren't freshly caught and/or adequately refrigerated is very risky, especially when you are underway and professional medical attention is not available.

Symptoms: Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea and may require hospitalization, particularly in the case of elderly or impaired patients. Later symptoms may include intense headache, dizziness, abdominal pain, dry burning throat, and pain or difficulty swallowing. This is followed by flushed red skin, itching and hives, and swelling may occur in the face, along with other allergy-type symptoms such as itchy red eyes and nasal congestion."


"What is mercury, and how does it get into tuna and other fish?

Mercury is a heavy metal, naturally present in rocks and soil, that gets into the environment mainly from emissions generated by coal-burning power plants and waste incinerators. Small amounts are also released as soil and rocks break down or during disposal of products that contain mercury, such as fluorescent light bulbs and certain thermometers. Mercury eventually reaches the oceans and rivers, where bacteria convert it to a more toxic form of the metal, which then accumulates in long-lived predatory fish, including tuna. Indeed, consumption of fish is the primary source of mercury in Americans' bodies.

Are there any types of fish that are low in mercury?

Some seafood species--salmon, shrimp, clams, and tilapia--have such consistently low mercury levels that everyone, including pregnant women and young children, can safely eat them every day. (Choosing wild salmon minimizes exposure to a number of other pollutants.) Other low-mercury species, including oysters, hake, sardines, crawfish, pollock, herring, flounder, sole, mullet, Atlantic mackerel, scallops, crab, and Atlantic croaker, can be consumed anywhere from once a week to daily, depending on body weight and the fish species (see Low-mercury seafood choices)."

Laallaa la lalaaaa la la la.

Ok, I think I should give up on jump roping. My shin started hurting and right below my knee. But I love it..A lot better than biking and elliptical, moves the whole body.
Should I use some cream? Or it's just muscle strain?

Do you guys have any idea what to do for legs BC of my knees? I really don't want to miss a day.
Thanks

Do you guys feel kinda moody/depressed after workout??

Actually no, I often feel a 'high' ...


Jump ditch the rope if you have shin issues ... same with running & hard pounding ... that what bikes & Ellipitcals are for ...

Is this 'pain' your body just getting used to lifting something heavy or adjusting to a different style of training? Pain as in "OUCH", or ACHE as in "yep I worked that muscle?"

More Good reading for you beautiful ...

Thank you thank you!!

A trainer guy at the gym told me I should go back to machines, he thinks this is why I was down.
I like the free weights. Ache as Ouch, pain as "I had a workout" I love, if I do Not have this kind of pain then I complaint.

Going to read

Machines can actually make things worse. (With the exception of some Hammer Strength machines.) They don't work the stabilizers at all and the amount of functional strength that you gain is minimal. I'd stick with the free weights and warm up properly. Go with good form and get rid of the hard pounding exercises like running as Bunny said.

Jumproping is my favorite so far, I monopolize the group exercise room, pump a little volume on the stereo and ready to go.. Can't run though.

Before, I did the bike and elliptical, I am going back now on them for a little.

thank you!
