Does this sound like a good plan to follow?

Question

I will be jogging/bike rinding every morning for 30 mins to 1 hour, also everyday i will be doing 500 crunches, 500 squats, 500 leg lifts, and 100 push ups and a few free wights but im not good at them so i dont count them, i will also be doing a ballet class, a freestyle class and rollerskating one day a week

I will be eating one meal a day up to 400 calories (eg a baked potato or some pasta or a chicken breast) and some ice polls though out the day because they are cheap n last a long time n are only like 50 calories at the most, i may also have a cerial bar (one of the 70 cal ones) on the days when i do extra exercises

What do you think, does it sound ok?

Answer 1

No that's bad. You would need more calories than 400. 1000-1500 would be accetable with all that work you're doing. Also 500 of each is too much everyday. You wouldn't even have time to rest your muscles. Cut back some and possbly do it every other day. You also need more than one meal  a day. Usually 5-6 smalls meals is good with lots of protein and vegetables. Just make sure to keep an eye on your daily calorie intake.

Answer 2

You are going to need more food. One meal a day is not a good idea.

You'll probably pass out.

You need three, they don't have to be big. And snacks like apples, or fruit smoothies, in between to keep up your energy. And *healthy* carbs, carbs are not bad, as long as we don't go over board on them and stay active our bodies will convert them to energy and not fat.

Talk to your doctor or nurse about how many calories you need, and things like 5 servings of fruits and vegies every day, serving sizes etc.

The serving sizes of recommended daily amounts are actually much smaller than what the average person actually eats. You may need to add a little more protien, or something with all that exercise, but you definitely need to talk to a professional who can help you sort out a *HEALTHY* eating plan.

Answer 3

You haven't got a clue please take some time to learn how nutrition and exercise affects the body all that would do is cause exhaustion and damage the internal organs

Answer 4

why don't you use a meal planner and a calorie planner? I use those from http://www.projectweightloss.com/index.p... It's a great weight loss site and it's free too.

Answer 5

Its a bit too much for EVERY day all week.....you need to have rest days and you need to eat WAY more because when you exercise your body needs more energy to carry on and build muscle.

Answer 6

that sounds good in theory, but i don't know if you'd be able to keep it up for very long.  Also the food your eating isn't enough or good enough.

You'd be better off eating smaller portions throughout the day:

This what i do:

Breakfast: Porridge

Snack: Apple

Lunch: Tuna/Chicken/Turkey/(Lean)Pig Salad or Cous Cous with lots of greens.

Snack: Pear

Dinner: Salad, Chicken Pieces (or w/e)

Snack: Orange

Also Ice Poles are far less than 50 cals, theyre like at the very most 1cal.

Answer 7

Exercise is fine but you need fuel for it! 400 calories a day is way too little, you should be having a 1000 more than that as an adult woman! Try to introduce some good fats into your diet - lean meat, oily fish, avacado, pulses - carbs are not just found in pasta and potatoes (and a can of say, chick peas is about 48p and you get two servings from that.) and I am sure if you eat your very limited diet you'll get bored quickly and suffer cravings.

You run the risk of burning muscle and not fat on your diet, fainting and perhaps even developing an eating disorder.  Just remember, everything in moderation and vary your diet so you'l enjoy it.
