Skinny fat is alive and well in today's society. You can be thin and still have a lot of body fat. Your body fat percentage has nothing to do with how much you weigh on the scale.
Your total calorie intake per day and your macronutrient ratio of protein, fats and carbs determines whether or not you will make progress during your body transformation program.
Your total calorie intake per day and your macronutrient ratio of protein, fats and carbs determines whether or not you will make progress during your body transformation program.
Your performance during your workouts and your fitness level, directly correlates to how well you followed your nutrition plan that week. If you didn't eat well, don't expect to achieve great things during your workout. If you did eat good, your performance should reflect that.
People usually think they're eating much better than they really are and they usually over or under estimate their macronutrient ratio and calorie intake. That is why food journals do work and are helpful.
99% of the time, if you increase your protein intake, great things will happen.
Nutrition, hormone levels, stress, medications, sleep and water intake all have a tremendous impact on your results. Keep all of these variables in mind because exercise does not equal success alone.
Common issues with the plant based, vegan, or vegetarian diets include total protein intake, complete protein intake, iodine, zinc, selenium, iron, calcium, vitamins A, D, E and K (the fat-soluble vitamins) and B12 levels. If you are following one of these diet plans, make sure you are getting the macro and micro nutrients that you need.
The bottom line is that you need to eat the right amount, of the right foods, at the right times, to support your needs and goals.
