I am 5'9 142lb and have hit a plateau. Im around 13% bf, i started running about 15 mile a week since new years now i've upped it to 40 over the last two weeks, but haven't noticed a single change. I eat plant-based no artificial sugar, no more than 20 grams of fat. Should I keep it at 40mpw eating the same as before and will see results, or is there something else to be done? Please be serious.
What kind of a job do you have?
That can make a huge difference in the total calories you burn everyday.
No job, im a sophomore

No more than 20 grams of fat?!? Are you serious? That is a recipe for disaster.
1) Forget about anything you've heard about avoiding fats in your diet. You should be getting AT LEAST 80 grams of fat in your diet each day. Fish oils are the best. After that, generally plant based fats are very good. Try to get a lot of omega 3 fats.
2) No artificial sugar is great. Keep that part going.
3) Do NOT obsess about your own body fat.
4) You did not say much about your running (just MPW). Try to make sure that you vary your running routine (some fartleks, some speed work, etc.). Also, depending on your goals you may want to mix in other athletic activities (soccer, basketball, lifting,...
Good luck
Well im broke af right now so I can't afford anything other than beans,rice and potatoes to live off and I usually get sick if I have too much fat, but ya i do repeats,intervals,long runs, and do the local turkey trots every once in a while
fats are awesome for runners, even if we "look skinny". but 80g might be pushing it for this athlete. that's over 700 calories alone
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
