Question:
Answers:
Caesar salad is very fattening! You need to have salads with no cheese or light cheese. Your carbs should be limited. You need to eat a balanced diet. For your height, your weight isn't too far off where it should be. 170 pounds is much too thin for your height. Start going to a gym and add more aerobics to your routine. I would also seek a good diet plan from a nutritionist in order to set realistic goals.
Why? you're a guy, being muscular is a)normal and b) usually desirable.
Not trying to fit into a dress are you?
Take the feta cheese out of your salad, eat a whole grain cereal with fat-free milk instead of the eggs. keep fruits around to snack on and do lots of aerobic exercises
If you lose a lot of weight you will have more muscles visible because there is no longer a layer of fat covering them. The only way to lose fat is to burn more than you eat. It takes 3500 calories to gain or lose 1 pound. Keep a book and write down everything you eat and drink everyday. Your normal activities help you use calories. If you do not lift heavy weights you will not increase the size of your muscles. You can lift light or moderate weights to help tone your muscles, but not increase their size. It would be good to lift 2 days per week. Just do not do heavy weights. Weigh yourself once a week, track your diet, you will lose weight.
