Before I post the link I must warn you that it may seem a bit over whelming.... Yes it requires actually weighing your food with a digital scale (a couple grams can make a BIG difference and knowing how much goes into your body is KEY) but I can promise you that you will see results!

There is soooo much more to weight loss than staying under a calorie limit. Protein, carbs, and healthy fats in the RIGHT amount are VERY important. So bust out your calculator, read the article and figure out exactly what your body needs and how much.
This woman knows her sh*** and she has been a great help in my weight loss journey when it comes to seeking advice.

here it is.............. the key to all your struggles (weight loss anyway) now it's up to you to use that key

good luck!

    you need to convert you KG to LBS

    IMPORTANT INFORMATION>>>>>>>>

    Fats:

    General guides:

    Average or lean: 1 - 2g fat/ kg body weight [between 0.45 - 1g total weight/ pounds]

    High bodyfat: 1-2g fat/ LEAN weight [between 0.45 - 1g LEAN weight/ pounds]

    IF low calorie dieting - you can decrease further, but as a minimum, I would not suggest LESS than about 0.35g/ pound.



    Carbs: VERY important for athletes, HIGHLY ACTIVE individuals, or those trying to GAIN MASS - Carbs help with workout intensity, health, and satiety (and sanity). But there are no specific 'requirements' for your body. Carbs are basically used by most as 'the extra stuff'.

    If you are an athlete - I would actually suggest you CALCULATE a requirement for these:

    moderately active: 4.5 - 6.5 g/ kg (about 2 - 3g/ pound)
    highly active: 6.5 - 9 g/ kg (about 3 - 4g/ pound)

    But for 'general folk' to calculate your carbs you just calculate it from the calories left over from fats/ protein:

    carb calories = Total calorie needs - ([protein grams as above x 4] + [fat grams as above x 9])]
    carbs in grams = above total/ 4

    you need to convert it from KG to LBS.... I totally missed that one at first.... just skip straight to fats & carbs..... and as far as the protein I say just consume at least 1 gram per lb of body weight

    my numbers were 150 grams of protein (want to build muscle so need more protein)
    75 grams of carbs and 35 grams of fat

    Listen people, it's either suck it up and figure it out ONE time and measure your food till you know exactly what is going into your body and why or don't even attempt it... keep yo yo dieting.... get results for a couple weeks than plateau... because I can promise you the person who figures out what their body needs is going to reach their goals longggggggggg before the woman who is just counting calories and making sure shes under her limit.

    Sorry if this is a thick question but when she says 'LEAN MASS' is that simply my non fat percentage of my weight? So if my body fat is 34.5 %, my lean mass would be 65.5% of my total weight?
