Which means that if you don't eat more calories than you use, you'll loose fat. You just need to find out how many calories you need. Go to the FT nutrition and put in some data.

You can eat 5-7 meals per day, and if you keep it "clean" you can actually lose weight so that the 6-pack can come out (of course, you'll need to couple that with cardio and weight training)! If your goal is to gain muscle mass, you still need to eat a lot, but can consume food with higher calories. It's all about the calories...the general rule is, as Nina pointed out, if you burn more than you consume, you'll lose weight and vice-versa.

I have gained about 9 pounds of mass in 2 months and for the first time in my life can see abs.... -------------- Ischjli "Seven days without exercise makes one weak."

Are you hungry? What are you eating later in the day? I will often run out of steam in the evening too. What i do is cook a load of chicken breasts on Sunday night, and eat those (1 or more) when I am not TOO hungry. Or get some deli meat (turkey or lean beef) and rolls 3-4 slices up with a fat free slice of cheese and a peice of bread. Or, there is always 5 scrambled egg whites.... give some of them a try. -------------- Ischjli "Seven days without exercise makes one weak."

I will also try some of those ideas, Thanks.

I lived much different back then and I didn't at all care about eating right, often, or anything diet related. I commend you for looking into all of this at the age of 15. I would just keep trying to eat, sooner or later your appetite will pick up. However, if you plan on starving yourself regularly to drop weight, then I would get used to this being a re-occuring cyclical problem. There is unfortunately for some, no substitute for good clean food. Just have simple, prepared snacks/food handy... -------------- Ischjli "Seven days without exercise makes one weak."
