Hi all

Im currantly trying to loose weight (fat) i weigh 85kg at 18%bf. My calorie intake is 2900 to maintain my body weight. Im currantly eating around 2400 and doinng 40mins cardio 4x a week. My breakfast contains;

125g porage oats 150kal

250ml semi milk 250kal

protein powder 2 scoops 200kal

total = 600kal

Ive been eating this every moring for around 2 weeks. I havent seen any differance in weight for these two weeks i think this is the culprit. I know that your breakfast should have more cals in than your last meal but is this too much?

I doubt any single meal each day is going to prevent fat loss.  And 600 kcal for breakfast isn't excessive.  I'd suggest you try calorie cycling.  See my post on that: http://worldfitnessnetwork.com…..same-time/ .

Either way, if you are eating x calories a day (or 7x a week) and are not losing, then you are burning less than 7x calories a week.  Basic law.  I've never – I mean never – known anyone accurately measuring their calories.  Everyone makes mistakes – for example, did you know that food manufacturers are not required to be 100% accurate on their labels?  Right there you can have a 10% variation.  The only time it's accurate is in a highly controlled lab setting.  Then, trying to measure calories burned is nearly impossible.  So, it's fine to count calories because it provides a basis; but it's just the starting point.  You have to dial things up and down until you start seeing results.

Stick with it, keep experimenting, and you'll get it !
