If I'm trying to lose weight how many grams of fat and carbs should I eat a day?
Question:
People say 20 for carbs, but is that a day or a meal or wat. Becuz if a day, a cranola bar already has like 20 carbs. I'm very confused. I'm on a low carb, low fat , low calorie diet and need help.
Answers:
It's 20 grams of fat, not 20 carbs. Also for a girl your age I would stick to about 1,000 calories a day.
Instead of counting calories though, maybe you could just start eating healthier stuff and going for walks. Exercise is the best way. Don't eat any junk food, and if you must, try eating sugar free chocolate pudding or something better for you. There's a big difference between saturated fats and healthy fats. You do need some fat but not from processed foods and empty calories.
What are empty calories? Donuts, chips, any pastries are very bad, all that stuff.
Try eating several small meals a day which consist of 1 protein and 1 vegetable and you will lose a lot of weight. Also try lifting very light weights and doing high reps for 10 minutes a day. OR -- if you're up for it and want even faster results, for 3 minutes a day do sprints! That will burn up the calories faster than you can imagine and you will have a killer body. GOOD LUCK with your fitness goals, it's good that you see you have a problem and you're doing something to change it.
I'm sorry nut i can't help you. Cause I'm 12 and I'm overwieght to so idk. But 20 grams sounds CRAZY!!
