Female dieting with chrons

[peteefs]

24 year old female. 5 foot tall. 55kg. estimated bodyfat 25% holding most around my waist.
Been training for about 2 years regularly. and want to lose about 2-3 inches of bodyfat so around 10 lbs.

I suffer from the bowel decease chrons, it means I can’t eat certain foods (spicy), drink certain drinks (alcohol etc) and sometime have problems digesting foods.

At the moment i train 4 nights and one morning cardio plus long walk on a Sunday.

Night workouts will be weights and cardio, i do all the big movements, squats, bench, deadlift. not heavy but challenging enough. my muscle structure has come on very well over the last year.

DIET
7am breakfast- porridge (145kcal) water + sugar
or shredded wheat milk (300)
10am Snack- protein shake water (110kcal)
12.30pm Lunch- tuna jacket or chicken rice veg & sauce etc(500)
3pm- protein shake (110kcal) (SOMETIMES)
5pm gym-weights and cardio 50 minutes
7pm chicken salad / meat and vegetables (350)

total calories about 1150-1300

Any advice welcome, its so hard because with the chorns and work i cant eat all the time. i am very worried that if i eat more i will put on weight.

Thanks

J

meal 1: lose the sugar, its not doing you any good just eat the oats, add cinnamon or fruit for taste. also add 5-6 egg whites, add a yolk if you like.

your protein shake meals: either use 2 scoops or add something else, definitely not enough calories. i think you are going to put yourself in starvation mode.

lunch is fine

last meal, since you just got done working out, you should add at least 1/2 a cup of brown rice to that meal.

depending on when you sleep, i would add another meal before bed. chicken with a salad or veggies would be a suggestion.

easy.. no fats.. one must consume fats to lose fat..

fish/flax/grape are my prefered..

Thanks for your advice

i have started to include 2 EFA capsules with my mid morning and afternoon protein shake
fitted in another shake straight after training with water and moved evening meal to 7.30pm
i usually go to bed by 10-30pm get up at 7am

3 shakes a day, is this ok?
my partner is trying to get me to have 20g(120kcal)peanut butter mid morning, good idea for a female?
still really worried, everytime i have increased my calories in the past, i feel bloated and my weight does not move.
