Keeping body fat low during injury?

Heres a good website for fat loss!

RicF, nice work, nice medals!

...think i'd rather have my 1/2 inch lard jelly covered six pack and visible muscles though... fnar!

Cheers guys.

Though a bit sneaky of me having those up my sleeve.

My lad who's 16 with a BMI of 15/16 and full six-pack jokingly calls me a fat ba....rd.

I think he's joking

BMI of 15/16?!  jesus!

I'm really struggling to get down to 23 bmi, when I have an extra glass of water on top of my meal of water and thin air I put on weight! lol

Same here L.

I've posted on another thread how I went on holiday for 17 days and returned weighing 17lb's heavier.

BMI 21.6 at the moment. Training 90 mins/day average.

Maintain weight on 1600kcal/day when not training.

Older brother has a BMI of 38! 

I'm currently at my lowest weight since I was 16, last week I was at my lowest since 9! But I put back on 2.5lb

Yes I was over 11st at 9 years old. Though in my defence I was also about 5' 4"

Regardless of how far I run per day, roughly 1 hr a day on average (over 5 days), I'm trying to stick to 2000 kcals a day, hard...

L,

A natural survivors metabolism.

In the past; in some societies, an ability to stack on weight and keep it there like yours would have resulted in you being made the King!

Pmsl! Yes I know about the survival theory and passing genes on that retain weight, keeping you alive during the long winters, and it's no doubt true, some of us could easilly feed ourselves up enough in the spring and summer to last on water all winter.

As for being made king, I had a vision of myself portrayed as King Julien XIII Lord of the Lemurs in Madagascar!

 And why does my ultra-running 100 miles a week friend avoid all carbs except sweet potato and brown rice, whereas Mo Farah eats loads of pasta?

Confused! 

Mo Farah is not an ultra runner!

Loads of ultra runners I know follow modified paleo and/or Atkins type diets going on the theory that depriving the body of carbs adapts it to better burn fat - i.e. stores of bodyfat - for fuel on long runs. Other ultra runners I know think it's a load of tosh and eat high carb diets and fuel their 100 mile runs with jelly babies and full fat Coke! I think the longer distances you go the more it becomes trial and error on an individual basis.

As this article points out, a lot of the top notch ultra runners appear to have clinical eating disorders. LOL!  http://www.irunfar.com/2013/02/food.html

I'm 17. Yep, I see your point. Sadly parents disagree. And no they definitely wouldn't pay for it, never mind allow me to spend my own earnt money to do so. Looking forward to being 18.

I've spent nearly £300 on Physio and Sports massage and 10 months later I'm still no closer to getting a diagnosis or getting running again. 3 miles on the bike is enough to put me in pain for a week.

How weird, I don't do any crunches, planks or situps. Can you see your ribs? This is starting to sound gay! lol
