What I like about working out with a trainer is that they push you to do things that you know you wouldn't try on your own.

I'm actually thinking that 40% protein would make a person gain weight because the extra protein not needed for synthesis would be sent through the metabolism pathways for conversion to triglycerides. unless the reduction in CHO accounts for the weight loss.<br /><br />anyway, looks like a super hard workout! i think i would definitely have a hard time, too. i've been mostly running and lifting very little. hope your muscles aren't too sore!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02758932883732204080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287299798491768678.post-63455911510984811882010-03-27T11:09:20.808-04:002010-03-27T11:09:20.808-04:00your assessment and workout looked like fun!

That makes no sense. Weight loss is primarily about calories.<br /><br />And as an RD you should know that percentages are meaningless. 40% of 1500 calories is a lot different than 40% of 2500 calories. It is grams of the macros that are what is important.<br /><br />Macro intake is very personal of course, some do better with more of this or that but the comment that 40% would make the rest of your diet be unbalanced is totally unfounded.Larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13088267798782196121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287299798491768678.post-39415284498894836332010-03-26T20:27:31.432-04:002010-03-26T20:27:31.432-04:00I love that you posted this on your website!

Since your are an RD I have tremendous respect & appreciation for your knowledge, but nutrition for sport & fitness varies from the standard healthy diet. Clearly a marathon runner needs to eat differently than a football player, etc. <br /><br />Maybe you didn't mean to come off this way, but how you discuss the not-so-preposterous idea of being at 40% protein suggests being closed minded. Many people operate better and have more energy with a lower carb, higher protein diet. And as you know, loosing weight would have to do with the amount of calories from protein, not just from eating more protein vs. carbs or fat.<br /><br />What bothered me the most though was your statement about your body fat %. The way you suggest that 11% is unhealthy, I believe, is sending the wrong, perhaps irresponsible, message. There is a big difference between being anorexic at 11% and being healthy at 11%, which is very possible. That is actually around what I am, and I am very healthy & energetic, and in no way excessively skinny.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287299798491768678.post-11133629716319340942010-03-26T12:49:06.052-04:002010-03-26T12:49:06.052-04:00I would have laughed to if he said up protein to 4...I would have laughed to if he said up protein to 40%. Does he know you are a dietitian, hmm. That would exceed the AMDR and make the rest of the diet pretty unbalanced. Interesting that he thinks eating more protein will make you "grow" muscles. <br /><br />I agree about cold stone, although I used to really like it. We had a marble slab creamery near us it was way better. I would get a small and it could last 2-4 days depending. I love to do banana ice cream with PB and choc chips in it. But it is best to make it at home. I just love to do the mashing up of the ice cream. Heck yes to playing with my food.MelindaRDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523272874667790035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287299798491768678.post-39876548876332206082010-03-26T11:10:09.857-04:002010-03-26T11:10:09.857-04:00haha, "I found out I have some cleavage."...haha, "I found out I have some cleavage." You are too funny. You look so fit and healthy in all the pics. I'm really inspired by your goal to tone and strengthen, I'm always hoping to build more muscle because I just want to feel stronger overall! <br />I've been to a personal trainer once, but I'd love to do it again. I think being taught the proper form and technique is so important. It is also a motivator to break out of fitness ruts and routines.

I'm surprised he was so specific in recommending you up your protein intake to 40%. I can honestly say that I never make recommendations like that. I may suggest a food log for a few days, or a check list of fruits, veggies, proteins, water, fats for the day. If they are overly concerned with diet or numbers I recommend a body gem assessment or appt w/ an RD. <br /><br />Looks like you had a fun session!
