I dont want to "diet" i want to lose weight and inches (im already on a workout program) i want to know what i need to do to eat enough to lose weight.
So whats the 40-40-20 (carbs, proteins, fats) how do you calculate it in the run of a day?
I have my calcuations:
Im
Height - 5'4"
Weight - 134.8 lbs
BMR - 2,441.358 (1,415.28 x 1.725 (amount of daily workout)) & i have to -500 cals to lose weight
BMI - 18.5 to 24.9 (Normal weight)
BF% - 26.2 (not where I want it)
So with this info, what can you tell me.
Ive been on my workout (Insanity) for 3 weeks and 3 days to date and no change (however i can keep up with the workout now wihtout having to stop as much to break, and i can do more moves)
I also do not eat junk (soda, chocoate, processed foods, etc.)
