What should i do?

Question

Ok, i am thirteen years old and i want to lose weight. I am not obsessed about losing weight, i just cut out a few things. I am not exactly fat but i do have a biggish bum and some clothes are getting too tight, i just want to lose a few pounds. I do lots of sports so i do get enough exercise. I eat a lot of healthy food (rice, fish, vegedables etc) but i feel that i eat too much. How much should i eat daily?

Answer 1

I think the magic number is you have to burn 3500 calories to lose 1 pound of fat. So watching the quality of the food you eat is important.

I'd definitely cut out anything like white rice, spagetti, bread, potatoes - the white stuff like that

If you do want that kind of carb go with a whole grain version and don't eat a whole lot of it late night. You'd be better off eating this kind of food earlier in the day or before a workout to give you energy.

I'd also suggest you eat smaller meals more often throughout the day. And not to eat after 7 pm at night

Hope this helps

It sounds like your body is demanding more food because you are suffering from malnutrition. Your diet of rice, fish, and vegetables, is poor in protein that a growing teen body needs. Your body tries to get more by being hungry and you eat more rice and veggies, becoming fat but not growing properly. Keep getting exercise and eat plenty of meat. Eat more meat than vegetables and you will become healthy and well proportioned.
