I would start by putting it all into fitday.com to see what you are eating. Just quick reviewing, you are doing more than an hour of cardio in the morning? What time do you do this & how soon to your next meal?? I'm freekin ravenous after I wake up & get maybe 20 min of cardio in before my stomach starts threatening to trade me in for a new owner. So you are eating 1/2 scoop protein mix? Damn - I eat 2 scoops at least. And also no complex carbs until your 10 am meal? Again I'd be freekin ravenous by then. I also see a lot of this soybutter stuff but not a lot of real food. Start with what you are currently eating cal & maro nutrient wise & see what needs to be added. And also review what is listed in the Shadow's Project & compare with your schedule.

Are you taking any fat burners or stimulants? I think it might help with your hunger. Sassy is right - you need some more complex carbs.

You're doing a lot of cardio, and may need some more calories. Why don't you try doing HIIT cardio ony 3 times a week. It should last only 20 - 30 minutes, tops.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, from my previous HELP post. I know it's not a million but typing a million, I would probably get a few finger cramps & today is supposed to be my day off. Alright, that was cheesier. Truely, I can't thank you enough. I will go to fit day & start plugging in the 411 & I will take a look at my cardio sessions & re-adjust. I have forgotten what I have read on the Shadow's project post. Time to re-read & re-do my stuff. I will still post, in hopes my diet & training show improvement. You girls are so inspiring!!! In an ARNOLD VOICE " I'll be back!"
Keep up the good work & the positive inspiration!!

Hey Toots,

Hang in there girl. Fitday is Great. I'm lazy about inputing my info, but I make sure to do a glance at least once a week so I can see what I got going into me. I barely change my meals so at least I have a general idea. I also try to become in sync with my body, and listen to what it needs. In the beginning I was putting in way to many carbs and felt all bloated and yucky at the end of the day. Yes, I was eating healthier but there were still no need for all those carbs, especially on days that I did absolutely no exercise. Stick around, these gals and Shadow will help you. They've helped me tremendously!

Thanks Necia! Yes, I will be pluggin' away tonight or tomorrow, to see what the heck I've got going on or should I say, not going on. I will probably do the same and just try to be consistant in what I'm eating on a daily basis, that way I can get a good idea.. YUP! You gals & Shadow too are pretty incredible, to be so giving of yourselfs & your knowledge. I could never say thank you enough, but I will learn and do my best.

No kidding you're hungry I would be hungry too, if I was eating what you're eating!

What time to you wake up? Like Shortone and Sassy said get those complex carbs in there. Don't be afraid of them! You really aren't eating much at all, and you're doing all that cardio.

Cut those detour bars out, and get some real food in there.

Try to get in 5 to 6 meals a day, every 3 hours, and your meals should either be protein and fat, or protein and carbs.

Can you remind me what your goal is here? You said you have an 11.6% bf -- that's pretty low for something to maintain unless that is just how you are built (very lean). Normally I wouldn't recommend to anyone to go below 12% unless they are in contest prep for a near future competition. Where are you looking to go with your diet & training?
