With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

I also really want to lose fat, ot sure what my exact % is, but I'm pretty chubby and fat los is very slow, although i feel fitter than ever. This site reccomends that i have no more than 1758 kcals a day. When i start to do karate, assuming i am still too chubby for my liking, should i try to maintain that number of kcals, or should i increase it to cope with the extra activity? Also, will i be overtraining? If so, what exactly would i have to cut back on? Thanx! Katie -------------- My body only feels good when it burns! Little voice telling you to quit?

You are the only one who can know if you'll be over training and if you are too hungry, well then eat!! Stop counting calories and simply try to follow your body..... If you feel like you are doing too much then use the Karate as cardio. -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.
