So here's my stats so you can help me out...I don't know enough on the topic myself to make my own judgement on my dietary program. I thought that I could trust freetrainers but that seems to be untrue. I weight 108. 5 foot 3. I am trying to lose FAT (not weight) and gain muscle. Right now I seem to have very little muscle but lots of fat. I am following the home excercise curriculum here which is 5 times a week. it consists of push-ups, crunches, can curls, squats, dips behind the back, side laterals, and calf raises. All of them are done in 4 sets with reps or 15, 15, 12 then 10. I also try to do just a little cardio each day, I've been rollerblading or doing a walk/run combo for about 15-20 minutes each day. According to this website, I am supposed to eat 1439 calories a day. 216 grams carbs, 108 grams proteins, and 17.6 grams of fat. So what, if any, modifications to my program would you suggest?

You don't have to do cardio every day; 2-4x per week should be sufficient. As far as you diet, the 1439 cals is a guide. See where you are in a couple of weeks. You can always adjust up or down 250 cals as necessary. Good luck! -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever!
