Hello I am new to the forum and to weight training.
I am 5'5" and from July to Jan I went from 130 lbs to 120 lbs. I have primarily been using the P90X exercise program since January. While I look leaner I am not seeing the muscle definition I would like to have. According to my scale I am about 24% body fat. I primarily eat soy products, fish, veggies, and whole grains. I probably eat around 1200-1400 cals per day. I see some definition in my arms but my stomach is very pudgy and my thighs are jiggly. I am happy w/my weight but I would like to look more muscular
A typical day of meals
bfast- oatmeal w/nuts and raisins
lunch- veggie burger, mixed veggies, small amt of rice or 1 slice whole grain bread
snack- 1 piece fruit
Dinner- some type of veggie protein or fish and salad
I usually exercise in between 5 and 7 pm when I get home from work.
I would greatly appreciate any tips. I have cheated on my diet a few times since January so that might be the culprit but I still feel like I should see more results.
