thats simply not enough calories.
Nor is it enought protein.
What is your age, height, weight?
And what are you goals?
If you cut your calories too much you will just be counter-productive.
Starving your body just causes fat to be stored, and gives you high chances of binging on junk. Not to mention your putting your muscles through hell (they don't deserve that do they?) ...after all, they do play a huge role in burning calories.
Not only these reasons, but with such low food intake, you wont be able to recieve a healthy amount of vitamins and minerals (this will also hinder you progress).
- Eat 5-6 meals a day.
- Make your biggest one breakfast. (Have Protein, Carbs and fats present)
- Include protein in EVERY meal.
- Eat majority of carbs during the day and post workout (if your working out)
- Cut out carbs after 8pm (eat things like chicken,tuna,nuts,eggs,cottage cheese, protein shakes ect)
- Get a weightlifting routine along with a cardio routine.
- Eat whole foods... nothing refined or with alot of preservitives
(things like chicken,fish,oatmeal,nuts, wholegrain bread, natural peanut butter, cottage cheese, brown rice, very lean steaks, sweet potatoes/yams, salads, veggies, eggs ect)
- INFORM yourself!
These are some simple guidelines to help you start off on the right foot.
Research how your body burns calories and how to burn fat. Avoid 'trend' diets. Bodybuilder/weightlifting sites have usefull tips and advice for this topic that are usually BS free. Good luck
They're awesome and so good for you .. dont steam them too long b/c the longer you steam them the more the nutrients escape ... and i use spray butter all over them when i'm done ... low cal goodness!
