Metabolic Rate Questions, help please?
Question by Þëáçé☮: Metabolic Rate Questions, help please?
When people say, “Eat 5-6 small meals a day to increase your metabolism.”, what exactly are they saying? How many calories should these 5-6 small meals contain on a 1,400 calorie diet? (I can not, I repeat, CAN NOT eat over 1,400 calories. All I eat are vegies, fruit and a little bit of junk here and there. It would be impossible for me to eat that much.
Does eating breakfast really help speed up metabolism? I find that if I eat breakfast, I end up pigging out more through-out the day.
Someone has also told me to eat something at least every 3 hours. How will that help boost metabolism?
I drink about a gallon of water/tea a day. I’ve been walking for 3 miles everyday for a long time, but personally I don’t think that’s enough exercise.—So I started walking 5 miles yesterday. I think walking 5 miles a day plus 25 minutes on the stationary bike 3-4 days a week should be enough exercise.
Sorry, I know this question is long, but I really would appreciate your answers!

For the first question:
You exercise throughout the day. By eating many small meals in between, it’s easier for your body to burn them so they don’t turn into stored fat. Just eat the same you would eat with three meals, just in smaller amounts. I’m not sure about the breakfast part.
Like I said before, it will be easier for your body to burn fat. That is probably enough cardio, but don’t forget about the other exercises.

Dec 15 , 2009 :
Weight : 159 $ (I have lost 10.5kg / 22 $) in 3 months with above routine .
Waist size – 37″ (measured 1″ below navel)
Upper abs: 33”(Measured 3 “ above the navel) ; bmi : 26 , fat % – 26 %
My issue :
=>I have not lost a single $ (not even 100 gms) since i reached 159 $ (2 weeks without weight loss)
=> Ugly lower AB bulge
Though I am really happy to have lost 22 $ , my figure looks ugly presently , the reasons being , my upper abs , chest fat have all vanished while flab / bulge on the lower abs in perfectly intact . This appears as if my belly is protruding more than before I lost weight and it also hangs down slightly.
Also , the elliptical / TM shows that i burn much lesser calories nowadays for the same duration
My target :
Target weight : 144 pounds , 32 ” waist (measured 1″ below navel)
My query :
1.Is my present workout routine correct ?
2. Why am i not losing weight any more ?
3. ~*most important*~ How do i get rid of the terrible bulge / flab on the lower ab so that it does not appear ugly ?
4. Should i continue doing my cardio or any changes reqd ?
5. How can i make my belly appear flat ?
6. I get highly fatigued after 30 mins of cardio since past two weeks.. How can i correct the same
I would really really be thankful to friends who could help me here on …
Thanks & Kind regards

P.S. : I maintain a healthy diet with 1400-1600 cal intake/day
