Hai! I stopped by your log and am intrigued... Mostly because your stats nearly identical to my stats 2 years ago. Your eating habits are nearly identical too. Actually my bf% was a bit higher I think. But my goals where the same and my "issues" were/are the same. I too, am not an "eater". I still am not. I had to work really hard on getting my calories up and still work on keeping them up. I used to eat right around 1400 cals a day and do a boatload of cardio. Today, I eat around 2400 cals a day and do no planned cardio. Big difference! I used to eat no fats and today I eat at least 50g a day in fats. The changes that everyone is recommending will be key to you being succesful in losing bf% and gaining LBM. (At your weight I would recommend that you focus on a bulk before going after the bf% but that is just my opinion)
One other thing I want to offer here for you is to absolutely have NO faith whatsoever on the bf% that your scale is offering to you as you go on this path. It will do nothing but discourage you because it is so inaccurate. All of them (even the calipers) add bogus percentages in for your age, sex and weight.
You have to learn to trust your eye and clothing fit if you want to do recomp.

Hello kfisherx. It's good to hear from someone who went exactly what I am going through and you're right, it is tough to get enough calories in when I am not a big eater to begin with. The only way I can get enough of everything is if I eat something little that's packed with cals, fat and protein (ie. protein shakes that they offer at the gym). But I did manage to eat a PB&J for a snack today which does beat fruit. The body fat percentage was not from the scale, but instead from me putting my stat's into a formula so I am sure the numbers are off just like you said!. Right now I am focusing more on the bulking up part to gain muscle, but didn't know which was the best way to go-bulk up or lose fat first. So I appreciate your feedback along with everyone else's! One thing I can tell you is that I do notice a big difference in my clothes, I have went down almost 2 sizes since I started working out in mid-may. I also notice a big difference in the shape of my legs/arms/stomach...as I become more fit the more I workout

Today was a light day at the gym (As far as lifting goes).
Bicep Curls w/cable 3x12x40lbs
Wide Grip Lat Pull Down 3x10x60lbs
Underhand Lat Pull Down 1x10x60, 2x8x75lbs

NO LEGS WHATSOEVER...unless you count cardio
1 mile run (finished in 8:15) followed by 1 mile walk@incline
30 minutes on Stairmaster
So I managed to increase my calorie intake for today (which many of y'all have been recomending...and yes, I said Y'all...I am after all from the SOUTH The numbers I am going to list are from daily plate and DO NOT include the fries I had which I couldn't find online so therefor I am only estimating the nutritional value for them (red will include the fries)
Without the fries today's breakdown equals to-47%carb, 33.7%protein and 19.2%fat. And including the fries...?? I'm actually not sure how to calculate it by myself
__________________ "Create like a God, Command like a King, and Work like a Slave"-Constantin Brancusi
I did it! I know I have said that I am not a big eater, over and over...but today I've actually stuck to my calorie goal of 1200 and did it. Lately I have been way under my goal...so here is today (not including some kind of snack later in the evening):
**Another thing I'm finding interesting is that when I went back and looked at my calorie break-down on dailyplate.com for the past week it was pretty darn close! Even though I am not on a specific diet (40c/40f/30p or anything like that) I still manage to have very similar macros day to day.
Fri 7/31-43.6/21.5/34.8
Thurs 7/30-47/19.2/33.7
Wed 7/29-53.2/14.8/31.9
Tue 7/28-31.1/20.3/48.4<--very low carb and high protein day for me
Mon 7.27-38.6/18.6/42.6
(So that makes an average of 42.7carb/18.9fat/38.3protein)

Hardly a work out today. I think my hectic work schedule and lack of sleep is catching up to me. Barely had any energy to run .5 mile today and then called it quits. Taking a rest day tomorrow (Well not much of one since I have to work...)
Leg Press
2x10x180 1x10x195
Bench Step Up w/20lbs
3x10
Wide Grip Lat Pull Down
3x15x50
Underhand Lat Pull Down
3x12x65
Calories: 915
Fat:37g
Protein: only 51g
Carbs:106g
I've been feeling tired, nauseous, out of it ALL day long, with little desire to eat so I probably won't eat anything else before today is over....I seriously need to catch up on my ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ's!!!

If you ride regularly your butt gets used to it. Regular riders have pretty hard bike seats compared to most seats at the gym.
Amen, the harder & the narrower the better.
Key thing to learn is to not SIT on it too much but keep your weight distributed over the pedals, the bar & the seat.. actually I've had spinning sessions where I didn't sit at all & spent most of the time out of the saddle. This was however because I've got a custom-fit bicycle and had it re-fitted so that the cranks are @ 150mm which is a very harsh difference from the usual 170mm cranks that give me bad bad bad knee issues nowadays .. so that was the end of spinning classes
Otherwise it's an awesome type of cardio.
Oh.. and hi.. checked out your log & saw with some horror how low your calories & fats were! Same with isolation exercises.
Good that missjane corrected you here and also pointed you towards higher fats & NROLW. I've only got NROL myself, so no real knowledge of NROLW that seemed to be a bit too high in reps for my liking.. funny since I'd do 20-40 reps w/o a problem for years on end. Mind you HEAVY wts for those reps, but still way too high!
To finish off.. my you've got a great body! So typical of girls with a perfect body to be even more perfectionist..
Now off to read that article on calcium.. am not really getting in enough calcium either...
Cripes... and I thought you were aiming to gain muscle? It doesn't come out of thin air. Mind you.. when you are really like Karla it looks like you are going to need (home-made or ready-bought) weight gainer if your appetite is so abysmally low.
That's going to be tough but not undoable for someone who doesn't do dairy (or do you just lave a lactose-intolerance?)
The other similarity would be that you're going to discover your actual maintenance will go up & up & up once you do start feeding yourself properly, so you might just maintain around 2000 kcal/day.. at least that's my expectation. To gain muscle you'd still eat to eat more than that.. but for now, just progress slowly and increase calories steadily by adding say 100kcal more every week 1400-1500 etc. and see where that brings you.
Maybe also switch to NROL & do the Hypertrophy programs instead? Or another real strength program?
I wouldn't have any energy with those teeny tiny calorie amounts, either! Girl, you need to EAT!
Surprisingly I am fine as long as I get a decent amount of sleep...which has not been happening lately. 4 hours a night for a whole week doesn't quite cut it..

Thank You Bytsi. Like I told MissJane, I think it all has to do with me being sleep deprived..can't think of anything else (well I could...but lets not go there and think of the one big thing people think of when someone has been feeling nauseous!) lol

I really have been enjoying the classes. I am just now getting the hang of distributing my weight properly because last time I wasn't really sore at all! We normally do 60minutes but lately the instructor has been doing 90 minutes once or twice a month...how long is yours??

The past whole week has been hectic so I haven't had the time or desire to eat. Today was a little better, carb overload I'd say compared to other days, but definitely better I think I had some waffles for breakfast with lite syrup and cooked a big dinner (and other things in between those two of course).

NO work out today
I have FINALLY figured out how to muli-quote in the same response.YAY!

I think someone else said it before, but considering your daily caloric intake and especially the amount of protein you want/need, a meal-replacement powder is most likely in order. The trick is finding one that doesn't taste like lukewarm ass, but a lot of people around here have preferences for product and vendor whenever you're ready to go that route. I used to rely on them all the time (and may return to them depending on how this new job treats me), and I always keep small-ish tubs of both protein-only and protein+carb powders around just in case.

Hi Phaedrus49er! There is a protein shot I like that is sold at Wal-Mart, made by Body Fortress and taste pretty good too- fruit punch. And you're right, it is hard to find one that taste somewhat decent...I've tried so many and wanted to gag after most of them! I usually buy them in bulk (sets of 6 vials) but ran out 2 days ago and haven't had a chance to pop in and buy some more. I do rely on them too in order to get my goal amount of protein so that's why my protein has been coming up short in the past few days! Besides that, I'm not big on making protein shakes, but still do now and then, I have some Chocolate flavored Whey Protein from GNC that I mix with some yogurt and fruit which taste pretty good also.
p.s. Is it just me or are you tired of this rain and nasty thunderstorms here in Charlotte too???? Where is the freakin' sun? LOL

I had only 1100 kcal yesterday (a very low kcal day) but yet a bit over 100g of protein. That was even w/o dairy or protein powder.. seems like you need to shift your thinking from eating protein first and fill in the rest later.
What about pre-planning your eats?
... seems like you need to shift your thinking from eating protein first and fill in the rest later.

Agreed. Most of the time, the only way I get in decent meals on a daily basis is to plan. I usually spend a few minutes on Friday or Saturday deciding what I'll eat for lunch and dinner the following week, and then I get the necessary ingredients on Sunday, and devote about 2 hours to prepping and cooking. My menus are far from elaborate, too. I usually stick to things like meatloaf, roast chicken and protein pancakes.
Thanks to you both. I have to agree...I always eat on the go (hardly ever fast food though) so most of the time I don't plan my meals, but definitely should! I have a few good cook books with many recipes for quick meals under 30mins or less...and they are sitting on the book shelf collecting dust :-/

Meant 'shift to' not 'from' but you got what I meant.
I'm sure that in the years I was a (semi-)vegetarian, I must barely have eaten 50g on a given day, but that only goes on to show it can be done to hike up protein really high while calories stay low if you put your mind to it.
Even now that still takes either pre-planning or following rather rigid meal plans I can repeat like forever.
It has become a game to only know the macros/calories a day in advance and still hit them as close as possible.
Oh.. and on the cook books, don't feel compelled to follow recipes, that used to hold me back in the past from cooking meals for myself. Don't be afraid to fail.
