I've been a lurker for a while and am finally posting.
For the past 2 weeks, I have been on a 1300-1500 calorie diet and doing kickboxing 5x a week. Not cardio kickboxing, the real kickboxing! It is a form of HIIT, so my trainers say I should keep burning even after class is over. Each session lasts 45 minutes.
I am currently 170, with a mini goal of being 150 by the end of May. However, I have not lost any weight on the scale for the past 2 weeks! What am I doing wrong? FYI, it is not a plateau, I just started my healthier lifestyle 3 weeks ago.
Here is a sample of what I ate yesterday from my fatsecret profile - about 1440 calories:
Calorie Breakdown:
Carbohydrate (42%)
Fat (35%)
Protein (23%)
I make sure to add some MUFAs (mono unsaturated fat) for my snacks, and I think that ends up being most of my fats. I eat a lean cuisine breakfast and lunch, and I have no starches for dinner, only veggies and protein. I eat every 2 to 3 hours (set an alarm on my phone). I take fish oil supplements every day/ My kickboxing classes are at night, around 7-9pm. I usually get about 5 hours of sleep. I know that I need to step up my water intake and amount of sleep, but work a high stress job that takes up most of my day.
What should I alter? Am I not eating enough?
