How do u count carbs?
Question:
How much fat a day?
Please answer my questions, I'm 13, 140 lb and want to lose weight. I'm on a 1200 calorie diet, but eat about 800 a day.
Answers:
whoa...800 calories?!! you aren't going to lose weight, your body will go into starvation mode, where it hangs onto every single calorie. You will be tired and sluggish because you arent eating enough. Eat more.1200 cal is ok to lose weight.
you dont count carbs.you can have 6-7 servings of carbs a day...that is recommended, like 1 slice of bread is a serving. Half a muffin is a serving.its even better if you can make the carb whole wheat instea of white.
Same thing with fat..you should have between 2-3 servings of fat a day. Of course, its best to get these servings from healthy sources like nuts etc.
Seriously though.my advice to you is eat more, if you eat healthy and eat small portions every 2-3 hours.your body will speed up metabolism (as opposed to starvation mode). And if you work out...cardio and weights.even better.
