[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 634367, member: 41816"] Have you worked out what proportions of protein fat and carbs he is eating? You may be surprised. Have you heard of Myfitnesspal (online or an app). It allows you to enter how much you eat and tells you the calories, and balance of nutrients. When I entered my eating for a couple of weeks, I learned A LOT! It turned out that I wasn't eating as much protein as I thought, and that my carbs were coming from unexpected places. Often, people on low cal diets end up losing muscle mass, rather than fat, because they've cut the protein too low. Then there is the nutrition calculator found in the 'food' section of bloodsugar 101 website (see the link in my sig). That was a revelation too! You simply enter age, weight, height, activity level, and tell it the carbs you are eating (which you learned from myfitnesspal). And voila! The calculator tells you what amount of protein and fat you need to add to make up for the carb reduction. It will even tell you what proportions will give weight loss or stable weight. [/QUOTE]
