I'm 5'8 155 and have been running 60-70 mpw for almost a month now and I have not shed a single pound. I want to be down to 145 for XC season but cant drop anything. I eat extremely healthy. Grilled chicken and vegetables mostly. Is it possible my body just isn't capable of dropping any more weight? How come I can't lose this weight?
Losing weight itself is more fundamentally about QUANTITY than quality, although quality certainly helps with body composition.
It is a simple physics problem. You are taking in too many calories. You are not burning enough. This should be obvious.
You could easily gain weight on just chicken breast and rice, just like you could easily lose weight on candy bars and ice cream. It all matters HOW MUCH you're eating.
Short answer: You are still consuming too many calories.
You are taking in more calories than you are burning. End of thread.
Quit worrying about weight and just train hard, you skinny little b!tch. Seriously, 155 is a perfectly healthy weight, and dropping 10 lbs isn't going to be worth the effort in terms of race times. As long as you aren't getting fat, you need to quit b!tching about the pounds. We don't need another anorexic in this world.
