cutting weight and energy level

1. Nobody called you an idiot.
2. There is no way your BMR is 1188 if you weigh around 150 pounds like you say you do. That's like a 100 pound woman BMR. Your either using a crap BMR calculator or you got the formula wrong.
3. Where's the experiment?

 

As Virus said nobody is calling you an idiot you have been simply been given poor advice by your trainer.

I weight 4lbs less than you and my BMR using the Harris Benedict equation is 1578, so unless your in your seventies or about 2 feet tall I think you are getting your calculations wrong.

So clearly you are under eating which is why it is not surprising you have lost so much weight in such a short period of time.

 

That made me laugh a lot harder than it probably should have.

 

It's funny, the guy knows he's undereating and thats the issue, but when this fact is pointed out to him he goes on an attention seeking "Whaaaa the Internetz bullies" rant.

Eraser, eat more food, you already know what to do... Coming up to a fight you will be training harder so you will burn more calories than normal. Why anyone would tell you to eat LESS food I don't know, they obviously have no clue.

 

I dont know what your plans are, but you have to be fighting at a weight you can maitain. Competitive amateur boxing isnt like the pros where you have 4 months between fights and a 10wk camp.
You could be fighting Friday and Saturday, and fight several consecutive weeks.
I once had 10 fights in 6 weeks, and had i not been able to maintain weight Id have taken too much out myself to have any energy come fight time. In fact generally I was a kilo or more inside the limit.
In amateur boxing if you have to keep cutting weight to fight your in the wrong weight class.

 

What about thos with slow Metabolism ? I can only eat salads and drop 3 to 4 pounds a week, wich i did. Eggs,vegetables, run like **** and workout my upper body. Lost those 3 pounds something on a maybe a 1000 calorie a day diet and did not lose much weight but i ran out of energy from bad nutrition.

 

You're just going to slow your metabolism down more by dropping to as low as 1000 calories a day. When you're working out more you're going to use up more energy so there is no need to restrict your calories aswell, you're just going to **** yourself up - burn off muscle and lower your metabolism. When you stop exercising you'll become fat and you'll be weak. To increase your metabolism lift weights and supply your body with energy by eating. Your body is always trying to maintain homeostasis, if you're constantly changing what you're supplying it with you're going to confuse it and your body isn't going to look after you.

 

The slow/fast metabolism excuse is bull****.

Get a clue about nutrition, that'll help.

 

If Kostya Tszyu had posted his training routines and diet when he was ruling the jr welterweights, the same posters would have called him a ****ing ******. Especially Virus, who must be a world class athlete or trains world class athletes (or else just parrots the prevailing body 4 life type theories on nutrition and weights). Don't let them get to you , you're head seems pretty well screwed on.

 

Kostya Tszyu was a ****ing ****** with his diet and training, people always say he burnt himself out as an amateur which is why he wasn't as fast and impressive as a pro but I believe the real reason was his ignorance when it came to diet and training. He trained longer and harder than anyone and his stamina was always pretty average if you watched him closely. If it wasn't for his upbringing in the soviet school of boxing nobody would've ever heard of him. If you believe Kostya reached his potential as a pro (which I don't for a second) it was despite his training and diet, not because of it.

 

So you make assumptions that people are going to judge you about your gender and that we don't know what we're all talking about despite you not knowing who we are or our backgrounds?
You're not exactly giving out any respect are you, and why is that?
Because you are a dick.

I'm a sports science student, part of that involves doing nutrition units. My lecturer last semester was a female who works with the institute of sport here aswell as carrying out research and contributing to nutrition journals. So I had a good teacher, I read widely respected text books, read peer reviewed journals and extensively used the foodworks program (food recall examining their nutrient intakes). I managed a high distinction so I know a little bit about nutrition, obviously I'm not an expert but I certainly know enough to give you some up to date, credible advice.

A doctor can only give you general advice, if you really want exact, quality advice see an actual nutritionist, preferably someone who has worked with athletes who need to cut weight.

Since you've got no respect for anyones advice here I guess we won't be seeing you around here again. Won't miss ya :good

 

What's all this about Kostya and his training?:huh

 

i thought you were an olympic power lifting coach?

your just a student?

and arnt you like some kind of pro boxer or something thats forgotten more about boxing then i know about boxing, too?

 

Uh, excuse me, Professor Brainiac, but I worked in a nuclear power plant for ten years, and, uh, I think I know how a proton accelerator works.
