iKirst

I’d have thought the endorphins would give me bounce, but currently they are being surpassed with tiredness and fatigue.
I joined the gym on the 6th, and finally succeeded in passing my 2 week flake-out hurdle, but because I have a bit of time up my sleeve, I went one step further..

I saw a Nutritionist last week.. out of pure curiosity, and somehow managed to sign myself up to his suggested diet
He hooked me up to a biostat machine to get all my reading things.

Unashamedly, I’ll let you in on them..
The ‘Normal Range’ is based on my height (and I presume, sex) – which, as you see below, I fall right in the ranges, but want to change which end of the ranges I sit..
Height ~165cm
Weight ~ 56kg (Normal Range: 54 – 60kg)
Body Lean ~ 41.4kg (Normal Range: 42 – 45kg) <–that’s muscle
Body Water ~ 53.4% (Normal Range – 50 – 60%)

Basic Metabolic Rate / Rest ~ 1442kcal/day (exactly what it should be)
Average Daily Calories Req ~ 2276kcal/day

Here’s the clincher in both weight and percent
Body Fat ~ 14.9kg (Normal Range: 12 – 15kg)
Body Fat ~ 26.6% (Normal Range: 21 – 27kg)

Was I happy with that body fat? Nooo!

My nutritionist, Dave, has set goals for me, and written a meal plan. And believe it or not, I am following them. I’ll write why soon..

Oh, the 6 week goal

Lose 5.7kg of Body Fat – 950grams/w
Increase 2.5kilos of muscle – 400grams/w
Basically, he want’s my bodyfat down to 17%

Eep
