hey angeleyes...phem amonst others have made helpful suggestions to me about diet exercise - we sound like we have similar bosy types. Im about 110pounds, and the last time I took my bf% (about 3-4wks ago) it was 23%. I am trying to decrease my bf% mainly through diet. I eat 6 times a day - a personal trainer gave me this eating plan. It may not suit you, but I have a very sensitive somach..and many foods I am unable to eat..so here goes:
post workout (meal 1):
soy low-carb protein shake
1 apple
1 orange
M2:
tuna
steamed pumpkin
M3:
chicken breast
steamed green vegetables ( zucchini/brocolli etc)
M4:
Egg white omellete (1 yolk)
salad
M5:
Grilled fish
steamed green vegetables
M6: low-carb, low-fat yoghurt.
Now I think this last meal is stupid! I prefer to have a small serve of low-fat cottage cheese, which is high in protein and low in carbs and fat. Seems to make more sense to me.
What do you think of it?
Its not always easy to eat like this especially if you work, or out etc. But there are always substitutes - just make sure you get protein with every meal.
Educate yourself on the protein-carb-fat ratio in foods you want to eat - makes a busy life easier.
