just got body fat percentage tested...any thoughts???
Hey guys, i just got my body fat percentage tested and my % is 19.3%. Im a 5'5, 178 pound 18 year old. I used a body fat scale obviously, and it came out to 19.3% body fat, and i think it was 34 pounds of fat. Now that u know my BF percentage, maybe u can tell whether or not im doing a good TKD diet or not. My typical day goes like so:
Wake up take protein shake with no carbs
Treadmill for an hour
Total Low-carb protein cereal with soymilk
2-3 hours later: low-carb bagel with peanut butter-low carb jelly
Lunch: Low-carb sandwich bread with turkey-salami-mayo-provolone and a low-carb yogurt...then more treadmill
2-3 hours later: Carbs before workout, maybe nutri grain bar-Hersheys candy
Workout for 45 minutes, cardio for 15 minutes, jacuzzi for 15-20 minutes, then sauna for 5-10 minutes.
Go home and have can of tuna
Dinner: Meat-veggies
Maybe protein shake with glutamine before bed.
All together, my daily intakes are 78g of fat, 94g of carbs, 178g of protein, and 1600 calories. As of now, im 178 pounds, trying to get down to 155, hopefully 150 by September 4th...look good???? (19.3% BF right now)

You stay too much at the treadmill.
1600 is too low.

you should have started your cut at around 2600 cals and began to drop from there.
1600 cals barely provides enough calories to support your BMR...I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

Try Atkins Milk- it has more protein. Have you ever tried Fiber One Cereal, the carbs are higher but if you only go by net carbs it's not bad. Deli meats are full of sodium- try chicken or cook your own meats and then slice them yourself. If you want carbs before your workout go for oatmal- ditch the nutrigrain bar (processed) and the candy.

Good Luck reaching your goals!!!
Only time will tell if it was time well spent!
