It ususally takes one hour before the breakfast you ate is absorbed into energy. Try allowing more time. Another option is eat/drink carbs (source of energy) that are more easily digestible; such as a fruit smoothie or energy drink.

Forget about being on a diet. Try to eat more healthfully. Try to cut out in-between snacks. Make a habit of logging your food. Once you learn about how many calories you eat it becomes easier to cut out the bad foods.

You are relying too much on what the scale reads. For your height and weight (115 lbs) your BMI is 19.2%. At 110 lbs its 18.9%. don't sweat it!

I use Cytosport Whey protein from Costco. It has 3 carbs, 3 fats and 27 proteins in each scoop. Sometimes I mix with chocolate milk or orange juice. Try Greek yogurt. Fage brand has 9 carbs, 0 fat, 23 protein per cup. I eat with fresh fruit.

I wake up every morning at 5:00 to work out. I get to the gym at 5:30 and work out until 6:45. Home at 7:00. I used to have to shower, eat breakfast and be out by 8:00 to get to the office by 8:30. In October I started working from home. I'm no longer rushed to shower and eat breakfast and save 30 minutes of commute time.…

Reading this post sounded very familiar so I looked at your profile. We're neighbors!

These are all great tips for before and during the race. Here's a tip I find critical to my performance. Make sure to get extra sleep two nights before the race. If the race is Sunday, I will try and get 10 hours or more sleep on Friday and do very little on Saturday. I will not sleep very well on Saturday night because of…

Go outside and exercise. Find a track at your neighborhood high school. Start with an easy jog for one mile. Then sprint the straight part of the track. Finish and do push ups. Do walking lunges, squats, standing jumps or some other plyo leg exercise around the curve of the track. Finish and do sit ups. Sprint the straight…

The amount of calories you burn is dependent on time and energy expended. I can cycle with my 10 year old son at 10 mph for 60 minutes and burn 300 calories. If I cycle with my cycle club at 17 - 18 mph I will burn 900 calories in the same time. If you want to increase the calories burned increase time or effort
-
If you want to increase your distance you have to run longer. Try reducing you runs during the week to 2 - 2.5 miles for each outing. Designate one day as a "long" day where you will gradually run longer. I would suggest at least 0.5 mile increases (shouldn't add more than 8 minutes each week if you are 16 min. per mile…

I have been eating cheerios with fruit for many years. I use raisins, banana, strawberries, dried cherries, peaches (not together). I tell the kids it's 'fruit loops!"

Five things that don't make the shopping list 'cause they're committed to memory. 1. Eggs 2. Milk 3. Mozzarella cheese 4. spinach 5. Fage greek yogurt

I love Fage! I also think it tastes like sour cream. I mix it with berries, bananas, plain with honey, cucumbers and lemon juice. Someday soon I will put it on a potato with chives.

Swim however you like. On my first triathlon I swam free style (crawl), breast stroke, back stoke, elementary back stroke (sort of an upside down breast stroke) and maybe a little doggy paddle. In time I swam less and less of the "other" strokes and now swim free style the entire time.

I eat any time with no effect on sleep or weight. Somedays if I'm short on calories before I go to sleep I will have some Greek yogurt with fruit or a bowl of cereal with milk. I wouldn't eat the leftover spicy chili before bed. I dont know whether it would effect my sleep but it doesn't seem like a smart idea.

Great ideas. I make chicken tacos but leave out the tortilla and put it all on a bed of lettuce and spinach with black beans and rice. Try chicken kabobs with peppers, mushroom, potatoes (boil potatoes about 75% done). Make it Hawaiian but adding teriyaki sauce and pineapple instead of potatoes. I make a pizza with flat…

I started paying more attention my Total Daily Energy Expenditure which calculates the amount of calories you need in a day. It is similar to BMR which measures calories you need to survive. TDEE includes the amount of calories you burn in exercise. There are a few mathematical formulas you can use to calculate both…
