Help W8lifter

[fgarcez]

Hi W8, I was wondering if you could give me a hand to help a good friend of mine. She has a great body, she is quite strong, but she wants to lose some mesurements holding on her muscle mass. She is eating something like 900 calories a day. I think she is exagerating, because she trains real hard and she is always on the go with her job.
How can I help her manage with her diet?

Thanks

Garza

for one she needs to increase calories.

how much does she weigh?
what is she currently eating? sample of daily diet?


(I think that those are the initial questions w8lifter will ask.)

She is around 66 kilos.
Her diet looks like this:

6 egg whites with two spoons of oats

1 chicken Filet with salad and olive oil

1 apple

1 scoop of Designer

1 scoop of Designer

1 chicken with salad and olive oil or
6 egg whites with one yolk

66kilos = 145lbs correct?

she is not eating enough and that diet is horrible.

is she on a "low carb" diet?

she eats no veggies?

I will let w8lifter finish this, she's the diet expert.

Okay Prince, I appreciate your thoughts...

 

[w8lifter]

Basically what prince said...she's not eating nearly enough calories...that diet is bad...she's got no carbs, no fat, no veggies, and not enough food.

She won't lose fat that way, but she'll definitely lose that muscle she's trying to hold on to.

Best I can do w/o her being here is suggest you print out some of the initial posts in the sticky thread

She needs more balance....get her to add some slow burning carbs and healthy fats to the protein she's eating now.

Meal one, start with 1/3 cup of Oats, Meals 2 and 4 add some cream 2 T or 2 Tsp of flax. meal 3 make it a 4 0z of SP, butter or dressing, meal 5 add oil based dressing

FIRST AND FOREMOST...make those changes and adapt to those portions gradually.....That is a lot more food than she is use to.....take at least a week to 10 days, even two weeks to GET THERE...K?

Second...make sure she drinks 5-6 L a/day of water to deal with the ncreased protein intake!
