whats going on???
Ok,I’m 5′2, weigh about 100 pounds, and I look a mess. I dont seem to be gaining any muscle, I feel shit, tired all day long as well, and despite training my body looks awful, skinny arms, boney bits, yet a flabby tummy. I want a fitness model figure but I dunno what to do, I eat around 1800 calories a day, weight train 3 times a week, and do 3 cardio classes a week, sometimes I eat an extra yogurt if Im doing cardio.
heres my current diet :
8AM - muesli and milk with dried raisens
10AM - small flapjack
12PM- chicken sandwich, salad, cottage cheese, yogurt
3PM - chocolate bar or large yogurt
5PM - warm meal, often beans, chcicken and salad, when i do cardio i have crackers and cheese with salad, followed by yogurt and fruit
9PM - either small protein shake and milk, or a yogurt
i need nutrition and training advice please as im going stir crazy!

You may be burning more than you’re taking in.. Also, your protein is kinda low for lean muscle gains..

When you do lots of cardio, you are using energy to run rather than allowing your body to build muscle. Think of it this way, in order to LOSE weight, we do cardio to burn more calories than we take in. In order to GAIN muscle, we need to take in more calories than we burn.
