Sport Need a diet opinion

Sport Fitness
Hello,

As mentioned in my introduction post, I am a 26 year old female that wants to go back into clean eating and working out hard. I hit a plateau and have not been able to shake it for a year even with change ups and such. Now that I'm preparing mentally again for this battle to get toned, I just wanted to share 2 diets I was on with you to just ascertain your opinion. I am just curious. Thank you. I am not on a diet right now. My goal is to peel down to a body fat % of 10-12%. I really want to lean down. My body fat % now probably is between mid to upper 20s. I weigh 148, i rather get down to low thirties. But I also want to be strong. I am 5'5.

I dropped 15 pounds on this diet paired with 4 weight training sessions with a trainer and 6 days of 30-40 minute low intensity cardio (stairs). I never got toned though so I got a new diet which wasnt that different from the first except I got to eat a little more but it didn't make much difference. I went more intense in my training sessions and cardio but to no avail. No change in body fat %, strength or toning.

Diet 2:

Preworkout: Lipo 6, tsp of carnitine, half green apple

Breakfast:

5 egg whites
1/2 cup oatmeal
water
1 cup of fruit

Protein shake with water
1 small green apple
chromium
greens +

5 oz. grilled chicken breast/salmon
3 oz. brown rice
small salad with lemon and balsamic vinegar
water
Lipo 6
lecithin

Snack 2:

Protein shake with water
chromium
no sugar light/fit dannon yogurt

Dinner:

5 oz. grilled chicken breast/salmon
3. oz brown rice
1 cup of vegetables
water
lecithin

With this diet I simply repeated the same diet Mon-Sun as opposed to the first that had me eating pure protein on the weekends.

With both diets, I'd work out in the morning.

firstly, thats loads of supplements, u sure u need them all? it would be better if you got more from food and less from pills. also, do u know kcal /day, coz u would get more replies if u included that as well as macronutrient breakdown (g fat, protein, carbs)

10-12% body fat for a woman is extremely low -- basically at the "essential fat" range (or below "essential fat" according to some tables). Anything under 20% for a woman is considered to be the "athlete" range.

Thanks Josh. No i don't know the calories, this diet was given to me by a trainer who used it for people training for body building shows. But I will figure it out and update, thank you. The pills were pretty worthless, I have to say. Didn't help, didn't hurt. Didn't do much at all.

I guess I was looking at a bogus scale because what you said makes sense, thank you.
