KickChick Posted October 23, 2001 Posted October 23, 2001 A skin-fold thickness measurements, or the underwater weighing which is most accurate will measure your body fat. The body-mass index (BMI), a mathematical formula that includes height and weight, to estimate body composition. The BMI is calculated using weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. This number is of limited value in competitive athletes who will have increased muscle mass, but it is useful for the general population and much more widely used than body fat measurements. Do a search online for a Body Mass Indicator/Index. I don't feel this is as accurate but it will shock you!
KickChick Posted October 23, 2001 Posted October 23, 2001 OK ... since we are all sharing what we ate today (and I told you all that I would start adding more protein to my diet) I had 1/2 bagel w/peanut butter and coffee (qty. 2 very needed cups!) and a protein bar for lunch with 24 grams of protein!!!!! woo hoo....!!! And it tasted like mummified chocolate poo poo!!! One thing about those protein snack bars.... theyre not really that scrumptious! ) ... Had 32 oz. of water so far today....whoops gotta go...
Kickbutt Posted October 23, 2001 Posted October 23, 2001 I'll bet you're on your way to the ladies room, Deby with all that water you're drinking!!!! I know I practically live there myself, although it has gotten better with time. I remember when I first started to drink serious amounts of water and thought I could never leave the bathroom... Lori If you think something small cannot make a difference - try going to sleep with a mosquito in the room.-Unknown-
Jack Posted October 23, 2001 Posted October 23, 2001 Hey Kickchick... height in meters SQUARED? Isn't that a tad impossible? I need some more snack form of high protein, so far I'm relying on dinner and that can vary greatly JackCurrently 'off' from formal MA trainingKarateForums.com

KickChick Posted October 24, 2001 Posted October 24, 2001 OK guys....you are both getting us hungry! Why don't you just keep us posted on your efforts. Really no need to tell us when and what you are eating! ... what may help is keep a notebook to write it down for yourself! As far as snacking...it is not a bad thing in your case as you are trying to increase mass. Think snacking as a helper to remind your body to keep your metabolism going and, in effect, burn more fat! The term "snacking" has become associated with chips, popcorn, or any high-carbohydrate snack. Not an intelligent snack. Think of it like this: Carbs are the body's immediate source of energy. So, when you eat a lot of them, the body uses them right away to fuel all activities. Now, what happens to carbs if the body does't need them right away, like at nighttime when you sleep? It stores them! And what does it store them as? Fat! Get the picture! Snacking Foods..... 1. Cottage Cheese - High in Protein, low in carbs. Eat lowfat or nonfat to cut the calories. 2. Beef Jerky - (Slim Jums) Just check the labels to make sure it isn't fat-filled. A little fat is okay, but some are really bad. Makes a great snack in between meals! 3. Eggs whites - perfect protein. Having a 5 egg white + 1 full egg omelett for a snack once in a while is definately a good thing. 4. Tuna - Again, high in protein and low in carbs - A great formula. Make sure you get it in water, not oil. 5. Turkey - Turkey is an excellent, lean meat. Stick to the white meat in order to stay away from excess amount of fat. That's it. The five wonderful miracle foods that make wonder high protein, low carb. snacks and meals. Happy eating! _________________ 1st Deg.
