Guest guest Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 Hi! I'm 23, 5'8 " and 167/166lbs... I'm loosely following BFL, I lift weights, run and kickbox. My eating varies from grazing to 5/6 meals a day. Only problem is, I'm stuck... I've been the same scale weight for MONTHS (since November) and I haven't gotten any smaller. Can you guys please give me a little help here? It was suggested that I eat fewer " processed carbs " of which I eat wholemeal bread!! Right, week's activity Monday, 30ish minute jog, 1hr kickboxing (teaching), 30mins upper body weights Tuesday, 1hr kickboxing Wednesday, 30ish minute jog, 30mins UBW Thursday, 2hr kickboxing Friday, 30mins LBW Saturday, 30ish minutes jog Sunday, rest I've been doing this exercise plan since new year, I've added the Monday kickboxing and the (longer) jogs to what I was doing last year. A typical day's food is Breakfast: cottage cheese on 1 sl wholemeal bread OR scrambled eggs (1 whole, 2 whites) on 1 sl wholemeal bread, cornflakes with protein shake (not usual) OR some kind of omlette. Snack: apple and peanuts and raisins Lunch: bacon " medallions " (no fat at all) on 1sl wholemeal bread OR 2 whole scrambled eggs with oat cakes OR cottage cheese on a baked white potato (I've tried to cut these out in the past 2 weeks) Snack: apple or carrot sticks and cottage cheese, OR yoghurt OR oat cakes and cottage cheese OR 5 cubic inches of chicken breast " Dinner " : Usually (on kickboxing days) a protein shake made with half (UK)pint skimmed milk and half pint water, 2 scoops of powder OR pork medallions and corn and veg OR chicken and veg stir fry with 1/4C (dry) brown rice OR protein pancake. Typical calories (average over a week) 1600kcals a day, I try to Zig Zag and include my free day in the average. Typical ratio (average) P25%, F25%, C50% (my free day buggers up the average %) a usual " non " free day is P40%, F20%, C40%. Oh and YES I do journal EVERYTHING I eat! ( Hussman you're wrong about me! LOL) Okay, so sorry this is so long, but I'm at my wit's end! GAH! Anyone shed any light on this?? Do I have to be patient and wait it out (more)? Do I just throw the damn scales out and rely on my tape measure (which has moved approx 1/2 " in the past 3 weeks)? Should I cut down on the bread? (I average less than 2 slices a day) If I cut down on bread what do I eat instead?? Help! Thank you guys and gals, you fountain of knowledge! Quote
