You need to reevaluate your nutrition. Either somethings gotta go or your missing things. 1100 cals is bad, you workout? 1600 healthy cals is your best bet to start losing fat. Losing inches is a lot of water weight too.0

ok -so with me working out at night, this goes against everything i've ever been told. So what is good food that i can eat at night -after 11 pm, that would go against me?0

You don't have to eat at nigh, estimate what you think you will burn and divide those calories up throughout the day.0 -
This is absolutely true. Which is why as a consumer, it is important to question the certification of a prospective trainer. A trainer with a quality cert (NCCA accredited is a good place to start), will have been taught the basics of good nutrition, AS WELL as been fully instructed about the danger of breaching scope of practice. Be wary of a trainer who gives too much advice in an area in which they aren't qualified.Remember 99% of trainers out there are not nutritionists. Eat more, your body needs food to fuel your workouts, without proper nutrition fuel your body cannot function properly and will also burn muscle instead of fat to use for energy, which is not a good thing.
What he said.
Ditto!!!0 -
OH! ok that makes sense! 0

Yes muscle weighs more than fat. When people say muscle weighs more than fat they are implying "in equal volumes muscle weighs more than fat" no need to argue that and that is what they mean. what you are saying is that you weigh the same as me because 1 lb of you weighs the same as 1 pound of me, which makes no sense.
ya i was thinking the same thing
. what weighs more a lbs of feathers or a lbs of rocks! 0 -
Hello Cici,
I understand what you are going through. I to went through what you are going through. What I can say is you may just be eating wronge. What are you eating and are you really eating enough?. Are you Logging your Food and are you Logging EVERY-THING?
My sister is a coach with a company that everyone is on a program that eating 950 to 1400 cal. a day and everyone looks to lose 2-5 pounds per week. My own parents are on the system. My mom has lost 42 pounds and my dad now 38.5 pounds. They started using the system August 2010. My sister has now lost 53 pounds and she has been using the system from March 2010. Now I know my sister and parents don't spend ours workingout in the gym. They walk about 45 min. a day and not quite sure if they even pick up a weight if they do it would be light weights in the home style workouts.
CiCi, you may want to give my sister a call. She knows what she is doing with her coaching. The Coaching is free, but the program is about $ 50 to $60 a week in food. Much of the food is food you already eat. So give her a call.

Not a program I would invest in! 1400 for a man would be too low and 950 for anyone is too low. Stay away Cici, follow MFP the program is set up the way it is for a reason, and it works.0 -

My body goes into starvation mode very quickly if I am not eating enough nutritious calories. 1100 for is not enough. I eat about 1400 and day and do 45 min of cardio 4 times a week. And of course water, water and more water.0

I pay enuff as it is buying healthy food and going to the gym and my protein shakes I will not be investing more $$$ to put food on the table just for me. It doesn't cost $$ to lose weight. You just have to commit to it. 0

But I thank you for taking the time to tell me about it 0 -
Definitely NOT eating enough !!0

Eating your exercise calories? You should be eating 1200 NET calories (1200 + exercise calories) per day or risk slowing your metabolism, thus halting weight loss.
THIS! You are putting yourself in starvation mode when you go under 1200.0 -
I strongly encourage you to remember that while 99% of trainers are not nutritionists, nor are MFPers. I might even add a .99% to that statistic. And because you're receiving this information over the internet, I'd also take all of it—even my own—with a grain of ... rice, since you're off the salt.
Everyone's body is different. If you're a particularly small woman then 1100 calories may be an allowable diet. I certainly wouldn't go lower than that, but the idea of how many calories your organs need to function is based off of their weight.
Now, regarding eating your exercise calories, this is rather hotly debated. You should eat back at least some of them, but personally I wouldn't eat them back one to one. I would probably eat back 80% of the calories you burn. But that's my opinion.
From what I've read on your side, it sounds as though you're not drinking much water. You need to get several glasses a day. Eight is a general guideline (although in reality a doctor just threw that out there and people latched onto it ... it's a go-to guideline, like 1200 calorie minimums), but it won't hurt you to take in more. It will help to drop any of that extra water-weight.
You're only going to be doing this diet for a short time longer, it sounds, so when you re-evaluate your diet plan, you may want to seek the advice of a nutritionist.0 -

ok, that answers the question I had. . tho the day I spent 2 hrs shoveling snow, there just was no way I was goign to be able to eat THAT many extra calories (3100 total calories for the day, I hit 2100, but went way over my sodium intake for the day!)0 -
yes this is article explains the process very well0
-
Help please!!
I am in the same boat!
I train with a trainer twice a week, and I do Cardio 5x times a week. I am maintaining my weight, even after cutting back to only 1100 calories a day.
It is frustrating because I am working hard. Do I increase my calories daily?0 -
Correction:
1lb of MUSCLE vs. 1lb of FAT still weighs 1lb. MUSCLE simply takes up less space than FAT.0 -
Ask your trainer if she knows what BMR and TDEE are - if she doesn't you need a new trainer!0

If you know you're going to the gym "tonight" and weight lifting for 30 minutes, you can log your excercise that morning and MFP will tell how many calories you have "earned" from excercise. Eat those.0 -
Are you sure you are eating 1100 a day because it does not look like you are logging on MFP. Maybe you are logging somewhere else? I was in your same boat. I was only eating 1200 calories a day and not eating back my exercise calories. I learned a lot from reading the message boards. Started making sure I was netting 1200 a day. So I was actually eating 1500-1700 when eating my workout cals back. Then the weight started to come off. I think you are eating too little.0
-
I eat the same thing every single night because I know what the calorie count is. I drink 100 oz mim of Water a day.
I never go over the amount of 1100, and I never fully log in at the end of each day, I need to start.
I eat almost the same thing everyday!0 -
Yes, you need to be eating at least 1100 net calories. Food Calories minus Exercise Calories. So if you are supposed to be eating 1100 calories, then find out how much you typically burn off at the gym (lets just make up a number of 400) and eat those extra calories (you can eat them anytime, you don't have to wait until night). So you'd have 1500 Food Calories Minus 400 Exercise= 1100 calories. Most people need at least 1200 calories per day just for their bodies to function or they go into starvation mode (which is when your body doesn't burn those calories, so you end up not losing or perhaps even gaining ).0
-
It sounds like you're not eating enough. I have has similar struggles in the past. My doctor, my trainer and a couple of my nutritionist friends have all recommended that I eat at least 1,400 - 1,600 calories a day when I'm working out 4-5 days a week. Have you checked with your doctor or a nutritionist to see if there's another reason why you might not be losing?0
-
Your body may be coming toned. Your body may have substituted muscle for fat, that's a good thing!0
-
You have to remember muscle weighs,so although you have not lost pounds i bet you have lost inches. the pounds will show up,just wait you'll see;)0
-
Though you have a 1100 calorie diet is it a balanced diet? Many times we eat whatever for those 1100 calories and yet our body is missing the healthy things we need to have a balance intake. A few years ago I worked out 3 times a week with my trainer and lost 20lbs. But when I quit working out the weight slowly came back on! I found a health plan that has taught me how to eat! I lost 27lbs (and counting) and now I know how to maintain my weight loss and stay on track by healthy eating.0
