This is how usually are going my days. I'm trying to be 50-51kg. Or maybe maintain... Do you think I should add something more? And please don't be rude, I know it's not the best thing to go under calories, that's why I'm looking for advices. I want to be average around 50-53 kg.

    I'd say eating a little more might be good for you, because your net should really be above 1200.

    I think you need more protein.

    My opinion:

    You should increase your calories and try to add in more fat and protein.

    Thank you, guys. Any suggestions how I can add more protein? And calories? Because I'm not hungry and I don't want to over eat, but it would be good to recommend food with high on calories but little quantity

    Also, eating two apples a day - is this okay? Because I'm very close to my limit with carbs and I'm worried.

    I think you need more food in general.

    Protien sources = meat, eggs, fish, seafood, milk, yogurt esp greek.

    I choose nonfat greek yogurt and skim milk to save calories for later...egg whites + 1 whole egg

    Being "hungry" is not a good indicator of nutrional needs.

    For breakfast I eat bacon and eggs or 2 servings of cereal with skim milk and toast
    Lunch is typically sandwich or leftovers
    Dinner is a big serving of lean protien with veggies and a starch (sometimes)

    Calories are easy to add...try icecream...or snickers.

    Thank you. I eat low fat greek yogurt it's like 0.1%, do you think its healthy? Because everytime I try to find something about it, people say different things... one that it's good/ other that it's not even a yogurt etc.

    I'd say add another protein source to your breakfasts and maybe cut out the crackers if you're worried about your carbs total - could be another egg or meat or nuts

    similarly for lunch you could add a protein source to your rice and veg

    snacks - nuts are calorie dense have good fats and protein and they're tasty :)

    here's some tips based on what my trainer recommended for me:


    Breakfast consume about 30g of protein in the form of eggs, meats and nuts combined. Have this with broccoli or some other dark green vegetable source, spinach works well if you're not a morning person.

    snacks need to be high in good fats like avocado, nuts or lean cuts of protein.

    lunch try to prepare meals at the weekend, avoid carbohydrates at all costs at this time. stick to lots of vegetables and big protein sources like chicken, beef, fish etc

    pre workout try to have something like a banana with a tablespoon of peanut butter, combining good complex carbs with good fats is excellent before training sessions.

    I'd add more calories overall and a lot more protein.

    Need more calories, more fat, and more protein. Try incorporating significant protein and fat sources at every meal.
