Help with diet - meeting caloric goals

Ksee128 Posts: 71 Joined: 2003/06/11	2005/11/08, 11:54 AM I am a 28 year old female - 148 lbs, 5'7" My ideal weight is right around 135 lbs...I am very active - working out with weights 4 or 5 days a week. My cardio includes 3 days of kickboxing along with three other cardio sessions which may include running, using the eliptical machine, or the stair climber. I am attempting to eat approximately 1500 calories per day (45/35/20) in my quest to reduce my body fat and eventually my waistline. However, I am struggling to reach this goal. I have listed my daily food intake for today below. Does this sound like a good plan? 6:30 am 5 Egg whites with broccoli, tomatoes, and spinach 1/2 cup oatmeal 9:30 am 3 oz turkey & an apple 12:30 pm 3 oz salmon ~ spinach salad with broccoli and red peppers 3 oz sweet potato 4:00 pm Protein Shake apple 7:00 pm 3 oz salmon with asparagus and red peppers or 5 Egg whites with broccoli, tomatoes & spinach Any suggestions would be great! -------------- Kasey

A good program that helps in seeing what you are eating is Fitday.com it is free but recommends the pay version. I am finding it hard as well to find the right balance for me to lose as well. I lost a lot of weight by cutting carbs but I want to gain muscle now. I also learned that doing this your body can become carb stricken and now I have to be careful adding carbs back to my diet.
