daily nutrition

So today I went 5 a personal trainer at my gym. He made this triangle for me at the point was cardio, in the middle was nutrition and and the bottom was resistance training. He told me I need fats in the morning and at night. Protein all throughout the day and to keep carbs in the middle for lunch or snacks. Can anyone help me out and give me healthy ideas of foods that would go along in each category? If it makes a difference I am 107 lbs 4 feet 10 inches tall and with a bmi of 30% my goal is to get that bmi cut nearly in half. And I exercise 3-4 times a week. Thank you to anyone that helps out!!!

    Just eat macros at whatever time. It doesn't matter.

    Yup. No need for the complication.

    Timing is irrelevant.
    Protein: Greek yogurt, meat, eggs, cheese, milk, beans.
    Fats: Avocado, nuts, oils.
    Carbs: cheesecake :smiley:

    A couple things - do you mean body fat is 30% and you want 15%? Your BMI is at 22 with is healthy. To get to 15 would put you at 85 lbs and severely underweight. Also, unless your personal trainer has nutrition training (which many don't), I would question taking advice from him, especially given what you were told. You need fat, protein and carbs, but it doesn't matter when you eat them throughout the day. The only one would be to get some protein within a couple hours after strength training.

    no - your bmi is not very high. your body fat is not very high, either. you are only looking to lose 7 lbs.

    There is no link between age and BMI, I think you're personal trainer might be FOS.

    Go to this website & put in your stats to see for yourself. No one should have a BMI of 15. For your height 95lbs - 115lbs is within a healthy BMI range.

    FOS fo sho
    for a 4'10'' at 107 on the U.S. Department of Health and Services website, it says you have a 22.4 BMI. WELL within the ranges of a healthy woman. I don't know your age, but He is definitely FOS, and wants to sound smart and important.
