Is that all you're eating for a meal?

**GO_Deep27** · 10-11-2007, 01:59 PM

Depends what else is in the meal, and what the rest of your day looks like.

Oh wow... that is not a lot of food at all...

What do you weigh?

It's very possible that the amount of calories you're eating is too low and you're slowing your metabolism down, and losing muscle. I'd add at least 2 more meals... do you drink a post workout shake? Ditch the honey for breakfast, more egg whites at breakfast.

Jesus christ dude you need to eat more... you're probably losing a ton of muscle. Look at the threads at the top of the diet forum. Search google for "BMR calculator" and plug in your numbers to find out your maintenance calories. Subtract 500 from that, and that is what you should eat every day. Are you lifting?

**GO_Deep27** · 10-11-2007, 02:43 PM

no i am not lifting ive been more worried about my bf% than muscle is that i am about to graduate from dive school as a diver medic and i dont want to be shut down cause of my size i use to wrestle in high school i am 21yrs old and i am not fat fat my waist size is 38 and my chest is like 51 or 52 i went to the taylors yesterday for a tux but i just want to slim down
