Hi Myra, sounds like you are making some good choices, but it doesn't seem like a lot of food. Do you know about how many calories you are eating? Are you a not-so-big person to begin with, and how close are you to your goal weight? Also, I don't know if it's the case or not for you, but sometimes being post-menopausal will make the weight slow to come off. Those are just some reasons I can think of. Also, if you have been doing the same exercises for the same time period at the same intensity for a while, your body may have adapted and you might want to think about ways to change it up a little bit.

Yeah, I'm going to go along with cj on this one, it doesn't seem like a lot of food and although not low protein, not high either. I don't eat the same things everyday, but here's a typical day:
Breakfast: sandwich Banana (pre workout) Slimwich 3 thin slices of turkey 1 ounce reduced fat cheese 1 cup of skim milk 1 scoop of protein powder 2 cups of coffee (the milk and protein powder go into the coffee) Morning Snack: Apple Lunch: Taco Salad 4 oz chicken breast 3-4 cups of lettuce 1 medium tomato diced 1/2 cup salsa 1/4 cup fat free sour cream 1 oz reduced fat cheese (optional) Afternoon Snack: 1/2 cup Greek yogurt 3/4 cup blueberries Dinner: 6 oz tilapia fillet 1 cup green beans 1 cup diced cooked carrots 1/2 cup cook spinach This is around 1,350-1,500 calories and close to 40/40/20 give or take. |
