Need a proper diet regimen

[Existantia]

Hello

Okay so whey powder is good? Im going to the health store soon so I need to know what to pick up. Maybe I'll just pick up a few of those bars just for when Im on the go. I have a long comute to get to school so. I think that would be convenient for me. So Im guessing my meals are a bit too small huh.

NYM - so are you saying that she can lose the rest of her fat AND maintain it easily without adding a significant amount of lean mass???? How is she going to add lean mass without the raw material to do it from???

Your wording is confusing me im not sure what you are asking...but what is her goal? i think its fat loss...if she follows my plan i outlined she will lose weight (FAT)...and if she increased her protein (im willign to bet she eats like 25mgs a day at BEST) and varies her cals she will be able to add SOME lbm....it all comes down to her goals fat loss or LBM gain.

im not saying dont eat above maintenance calories, im just asying do NOT do it for a prolonged period of time..if she wants to lose weight, ultimately she will have to start cutting cals....or try to burn them by doing cardio but the amount she would need to burn if she did NOT cut calories would be ASTRONOMICAL, like 2-3 hrs of cardio a day.

Yes, her goal is fat loss but with only 96# of lean mass give or take and the lack of calories I think she may well be to the point that her body is not going to give up any more fat stores by restricting calories. What I hear you telling her is to up the cals for a few weeks and then to restrict them again although not as radically as she did before. I have done what Monster has told her to do and the net result of those extra calories is going to be two fold - her metabolism will increase as her body is being fed and if she is training hard she will add lean mass which will increase her metabolism even further. Even if she gains a few pounds of fat in order to gain 10 or 12# of muscle in the long run she will be able to get leaner much easier. If she starts seeing some fat gain after a few weeks she can then start cycling her carbs a bit.

Im with you on that Temple. She isnt going to be able to lose much bodyfat through traditional means. Thats why I suggested the higher calories...
If her bodyfat is anywhere near as high as she says she WILL lose bodyfat eating above maintainance levels simply by creating an anabolic environment and doing away with the foods that are causing the violent insulin spikes.
Her body is probobly protien starved and will be hustling to put that new protien to use, so as long as simple carbs are controlled, she should dip into fat stores as she manages to add a little lean mass to her frame. Ive seen it happen before.

I can see shifting what I said down by 100 calories all the way around, but traditional dieting (that is, going below maintainance calories) will be detrimental to her. At 96lbs the only thing her body will be willing to give up will be muscle...

correct - thats why i agree with you on the upping the cals but only for a short period of time.
