I don't know if anyone else cares but I figure this is what this particular forum is for. So here goes.
Height: 180cm
Age 26
Male
I only have the most recent information on me so here are the changes for the past month or so:
2005.07.17 2005.08.21
Weight 87.5kg 83kg
Muscle Weight 70.6kg 69.7kg
Water 51.6L 50.9L
Bone Mass: 3.8kg 3.8kg
Body Fat Weight 13.1kg 9.5kg
Body Fat% 15% 11.4%
BMI 27.0 25.6
Calories/day 3002 2899
Despite eating mostly protein [fish, tofu and chicken] and drinking a protein supplement 2-3 times a day I still lost some muscle mass. But I feel it is acceptable compared to the fat loss. The chart on this printout I have shows I have 120% of the typical muscle weight for someone my height, but I certainly don't have 120% of the power. Anyway I feel I was not drinking enough water and possibly because of that I was not able to regain enough muscle, so as of today I am drinking more water and oolong tea.
The trainer at the gym told me many people who exercise regularly are around 15% body fat so I feel I am finally making progress. This came from a guy who slimmed down to 4.3% body fat for a competition. My goal is not so much to lose weight but to reduce body fat to 7-8% so water weight gain is acceptable. Hopefully I can achieve that in another month. I want to see a six pack, right now I got a keg with a faint line partway down the center.
One question if someone is still reading, I do a lot of cross trainer so my legs are pretty lean. Despite moving my arms as much as the machine requires in the cross trainer, I am having a much harder time losing fat from my arms and upper body, I have twice as much fat on my arms as on my legs. This makes my appearance unbalanced I suppose. Any suggestions? Thank you.
