Yesterday............

Yesterday I walked for 50 mins on 6.0 incline at a moderate paste (3.7) and then I ran for 12 mins additionally at 4.5 paste. I burned a total of 810 calories yesterday and I only ate 800 calories. Do any one know if I should up my intake on the days I burned close to 800 calories? I'm trying to figure out why I can't break this stall. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

You are starving yourself and therewith ruining your metabolism. Yes, you need to increase your intake, on ALL days.

Thanks Elizabeth.

I am upping my water intake.  I think thats part of my problem.  I was consumed by eating and not drinking.  I have forgotten to drink.


Wait...you "ran for 12 mins"?  Impressive  I can not run for 2 mins with a gun pointing at me back.

You go girl.  It's will start moving soon.  I promise/hope.

Yes girl I ran for 12 mins I could not believe it... I was shocked too. I hope you are right. I'm not working out any more this week in hopes of the scale will move again at the end of the week.

My understanding is that you need to eat your exercise calories.  You are barely eating,
good exercise day though.

I did eat my exercise calories of 800. so I'm really confuse!

You should be eating more.  Check with your NUT.  Your body probably thinks its starving.

ok "eating your exercise calories" means you should eat enough food to burn your exercise  calories and also have enough for your body to live on.

That means you have to EAT more calories than you burn up in exercise.

You ate 800 calories and burned up 810 calories. You burned up more than you had to work with. That leaves nothing for your body to work on. Yes,I know we have plenty of fat to work with and burn but it doesn't work exactly that way.

If you burn up all the protein calories you eat,your body is gonna start breaking itself down to get the protein it needs. Muscles are protein,your heart,lungs,kidneys and well muscles are PROTEIN.

That is why we r supposed to eat a high protein diet so the body has enough protein to work with while burning off our fat stores. You truly are starving your body if you ate 800 calories and burned off 810.

Hope this has helped your confusion. My suggestion,eat all the high protein foods you can eat,stay away from carbs and fruit drink and drink some more.
Good luck,
Holly

Kim,

Thank you so much. Because that makes a lot of sense of what you saying. I think I'm starving myself. I'm going to try and up my intake a little bit of course get more protein in. I get in about 70 grams now and aobut 100 oz of water. Your help has been greatly appreciated.....

Thanks,
