    I'm pretty slim and cut (don't know exact body fat but probably between 8-9%), 5'7 and 146 pounds. How many calories should I consume a day for fat loss while training regularly

    178g of protein?
    That's a lot more than I thought it'd be

    i have a different problem

    when i work out
    lifting weights and normal cardio

    i lose weight and a reason for this is
    i can eat healthy etc

    but boxing actually makes me put on weight

    here is the reason why

    boxing training is usually late in the evening
    and i work hard when there

    so i am done training
    my body wants to eat a lot

    because i am dead tried and hungary

    so i eat,

    the next day i feel i am in better shape
    but guess
    i am heavier lol


    anyone else have this kind of problem????????

    You don't gain weight because you eat after boxing (or before sleeping) but because your overall calorie intake is too high. It's normal to eat after hard work, the signals your body gives you are there for a reason. Not giving in to them will impair recovery.

    Noodles? what kind of noodles? Like pasta or those horrible ramen/2minute packet noodles?

    Noodles are generally pretty calorie dense whilst being fairly devoid of nutrients. If you want something you can eat a lot of without gaining weight, then pick something that's nutrient dense and relatively low in calories, like leafy greens/salad.

    like the dried water noodle's not like pot noodle's though, plain, no flavouring, i can just eat loads, what about fruit smoothies?

    i did a week of vegitable soup and smoothies, and lost a fair bit of wieght without fell drained all the time, the thing is, I can't always afford lots of fruit, any other suggestions?

    how active are you?
    i'm asking because trying to lose weight without sweating is pretty much the same thing as watching those late night 'lose weight without exercising' gimmicks on TV.

    if you don't exercise and have a healthy diet then you're cutting corners, and that's when (generalising here) weights fluctuate. it has to be a lifestyle you're comfortable with.

    if you're not active, try going for a long walk in the morning and start running at night (example). the more active you are, the better you'll feel, and the easier you'll find it to eat right.

    for someone overweight they still need to eat the right things in the evening though especially. if someone exercises in the evening then eats a burger and fries after they aren't moving forward because you don't want heavy foods sitting in your stomach when you sleep.
