Low energy on cardio today might need more carbs?

tim, i'd try to get some more protein in your diet. what is your daily calorie intake? it looks like you are starving yourself.

After posting I had shrimp yesterday also. fried
I'd say 1500 calories now that I look at it. Damn it seems Like I am eating a lot. I'll try to bump up to 2000.

i still think you could add more protein and even some carbs. good carbs though...like oatmeal, brown rice, or sweet potato. the diet looks better though/
one other thing. you went 6.5 hours before eating your last meal. you could have ate one at 6 & one at 9, then done. dont know what your schedule is like though. good luck

Yea, that's 6 and a half hours at my second job. I try my best not to think about eating while I am there cause it could be disasterous(sp?). That job is Pizza Hut. I do pick up a peice of pepperoni, cheese or a milk here and there though, not enough to log on to the diet though.
Also I am eating as low carb as possible because I have 50 lbs of ugly fat to lose(and I don't want to chop off my head to do it). So I will have oats in the morning once and a while but I really need to load down on protein. I will keep a shake in my truck at work also. then if I do get hungry then no pizza will be ate.
Thanks for pointing the LOW CAL problem Rock. When I ran to 2.5 miles last night I had more energy. Now what do I do to get rid of this kansas wind and humidity?

also, try doing your cardio in the morning on an empty stomach. i've heard that you burn more fat that way. i believe its because you body turns to fat stores for energy.

I heard that also and did a little this morning. I'm trying to get used to it but mornings are hard to get into the groove. I'll get there though.

Started taking phentermine today.
Weight plato has been that way a long time and phentermine helps me a lot.
