Weight loss

[evander1972]

I have a female friend that wants to loose some fat. I have said I will work out a diet for her to follow. The diet bits the easy part, What I need help with is her BMR and TDDE. She goes to the gym twice a week doing cardio. She is 5'10" 26 145lbs, Im not sure on bf, If she was a guy Id say 18 - 20%. Cheers

145 on a 5'10" is anything but fat

5'10" and 145?!

Does she really think she's too large or just too mushy?

145 on 5'10.. wouldnt be fat.. if she even has a little bit then regular meat i would wonder if she is lying about her weight.. sorry

If her activity is cardio 2x/week & maybe just a normal 3 meals / day diet, more than likely not enough protein, too many carbs? Whatever her bodyfat is, it is more likely from lack of muscle and not too much fat. She wants to "get toned"?

Like they said -- can you post up her diet or get her to post up her diet so we can make some comments. Or at least print out a typical day's meal off the "Shadow's Project" thread to give her an idea of an optimized diet.

And same w/ training - cardio doesn't do much to build muscle -- does she do any resistance training? Need 2 things: protein to build muscle, activity to build muscle.

A suggestion for her would be to stop focusing on her scale weight.... 145 on a 5'10" person really is not fat or large..... Are her clothes tight?? Does she want to add muscle??

Plus, as you know from your thread in the Diet Forum, bf% can be subjective depending on the method used..... a lot of those online calculators are not accurate....
