Athena Lee's first Muay Thai Fight !!

[athena-lee]

Hi everyone,

I am 22 yrs old, 167 cm tall, 55.5 kg, Body fat % 24.5. I train Muay Thai (kick boxing) and have my first fight in 4 weeks time. So basically I have 1 month to train extra hard and get fitter and most importantly DROP WEIGHT !! I need to get down to 53 kg.

This sounds like it isn’t much weight that I need to lose but the thing is I am putting on a lot of muscle. Before I started fight training I was 52 - 53kg. But I have put on weight since then, my muscles are a lot bigger (I have lost fat) but I look bigger because of the more muscle mass I have now. So basically I am aiming to lose muscle and fat to drop weight. By 5th November (that’s my weigh in night).

This is my training & eating schedule between tomorrow and now... I am starting tomorrow because today (6th Oct) is my birthday and I’m going out for dinner tonight and then tomorrow it’s GAME ON !!!

Mon: AM - 30 min Cardio / PM – 2 hr Muay Thai (Interval training)

If anyone can give me any tips on the food side please do!! The only meat I eat is steak, fish, and tuna. The training on the other hand is what my trainer sets for me so I have to comply. Although do you think I am over doing it with the morning sessions? Thank you all so much for you help and support !!! I will post photos soon to when I learn how to do it....

Diet is sadly lacking in protein.

No I don't think you're over doing the morning sessions, I don't know much about Muay Thai but it looks like a decent program, though I would still have thought you do some kind of conditioning work with weights even if it was just to build endurance.

As for your diet as Maureen said, not enough protein.

I think you're over exagerating a bit on the sooo much muscle. The body can only gain so much muscle in a certain amount of time. We're talking 1/2 pound-1 pound of muscle gain a month.
