I really have been struggling with this for a long time. Before I found your program, I was riding my bike at least 7 miles a day every other day and doing hill sprints. I have been working out fairly steadily for at least 5 years now. I just can’t get this off. As a matter of fact, in those 5 years, I really haven’t varied in my weight at all, nor in the size of my clothes. I have just gotten a lot more muscle and a lot stronger.

Your nutrition is pretty good. I would drop the orange juice, it does nothing for you. You should also eat a lot more vegetables. You barely eat any at all.

Have you not lost any fat on that routine? Unless the binges are more frequent than you state, you should be losing fat.

For lunch, I usually have cottage cheese, 1 cup and some hot sauce on it. Many times for dinner I will have 6 egg whites and some avacado, sun dried tomatoes with some garlic pwdr and cayenne pepper. (I like hot stuff).

I will also often have a protein drink with a coup of blueberries, and apple, a carrot, 1T of cocoa pwdr in it and some green tea. I always drink at least 2 c of green tea a day.

That is about it. Except when I binge. I have a weakness for chocolate but that usually only happens about once every two weeks. But I have to tell you, sometimes it is two big size candy bars in one day.

Also, what body fat percentage should I aim for? I want to be really lean. I want to do the local triathalon this summer and I do not want to carry this extra weight around.
Thanks much,
C

I generally eat really good. Sometimes I will binge. However, I have often gone on a 1300 cal a day diet and won’t lose any weight.

I am 5′10″ though and think maybe I was not eating enough?

I am at a total loss of what to do. I was going to try to go to about 1700 cals a day and see if that would work. I read this and am now wondering if this would be worth a try. I need help!
