A few months ago, I started dieting after getting into kickboxing, and Muay Thai, after I lost around 20 pounds from the previous year via circuit weight training. I started having protein shakes in the morning, and started to follow a strict non-snacking diet that requires me to not eat between meals - meaning that I eat every 5-6 hours, three times a day, and I make sure that when i go to bed, It's at least 3 hours after dinner. I started out with 3 times a week of classes, 2 kickboxing classes and 1 heavy boot-camp class, which is pretty much an intense cardio workout with much aerobic and anaerobic interval mash-ups. However, after a while i decided to increase the amount of time I do my work. I now workout 5 times a week. 1 day of a kickboxing class, 1 day of just the boot-camp, an extra long class that consists of 1 hour of kickboxing, and 1 hour of Muay Thai, and 2 days that have the boot-camp and then a kickboxing class following after it.
Because of my no-snacking rule, my mother has constantly been trying to force me to snack whenever she can - as soon as I get back from school, she lectures me and tries to convince me to eat. Don't get me wrong ; I don't have an eating disorder of any kind. I eat a good breakfast consisting of a protein shake, a bowl of oatmeal worth exactly 240 calories, with some jam on top - all adding to a total of 555 calories to start the day. At lunch, I usually have 2 cookies, which is worth 120 each, and a cup of fruit. I sometimes mash it up, with one cookie and a homemade cinnamon bun, or something else to get some actually carbs and sugar from. Anyway, after school I hurry off to my workout classes, where I workout, and go home to enjoy a nice dinner with the family. I am 15, and apparently need around 2200 calories to maintain my weight, and 1800 to loose weight based on my height, gender, and activity level. I am currently trying to loose weight, however I know for a fact that my metabolism is slower than the average person, so I sometimes try to mix up my diet, eating sometimes as high as 2000, and as low as 1400. I think this is correct for myself, however, I am asking and posting this online so I can get advice from someone who actually knows what they are talking about (I am well aware that the internet is a huge place, and that someone can simply say they know something when they might not, blah blah blah).
Here is some actual information about me in technical terms...
height : 5 ft 5 in
Sex : Female
Age : 15
Weight : 153 (I'm overweight
)
Activity level : You know it from the first paragraph.
Please inform me if I am doing anything wrong with my diet. I think it's important that I get as many views as possible, as I rarely ever tell anyone about how I eat ; I have not even told my coach about my diet yet, though he was the one who got me to stop snacking.
