New & looking for fitness guru's

dancerv

Hi! I know this might sound silly to some or most of you, but I am 28 years old, 5'5 and weigh about 122/124lbs depending on the day. For the last 2-3 weeks since I've been on this program, I've worked out at least 5 days a week and sometimes twice a day. I stay within my calorie allowance which states 1360 but sometimes go over 100-200 calories, but rarely. My goal is to get down to 119, but most importantly lean up and lose belly fat. I try to eat a lot of protein and veggies. I use to eat a lot of fruits but have cut back a lot on that. Any suggestions? I am at a lost!.... Thank you!!!

Hello!

What does an average day of eating look like for you and what is your current workout regimen?

It sounds like you have the basics down. It's time to start focusing on Macronutrients as opposed to just caloric allowance. I included a couple of links below that should lay it out for you. People that are already at a low body fat and want to tighten up a little further need to focus not only on eating within their calorie allotment but also focus on what types of calories they take in. This helps to maximize fat loss while also maximizing muscle retention. If you have any questions I'd be more than happy to answer them.

2 boiled eggs in the AM with green tea. Snacks are usually carrots, almonds or fruits. Around noon, I'm at the gym or running 3 miles around work. Lunch is usually a spinach salad or fish w/ veggies (pretty boring) or protein shake. Although I'm not perfect and cheat sometimes but it's like a sandwhich or something like that. Dinner is usually the same as lunch and a protein shake post work out.... so yes, pretty boring!
