For protein you could add in salmon, tuna, soy beans and the nuts and seeds have protein too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-work-out-without-losing-weight#post-699186 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 12:34:16 +0000 prettylizy 699186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebittyhouse: I added in flax and chia seeds, and recently hemp harts to increase my protein and fats without taking in dairy. I love sprinkling the hemp harts on my salad, they are basically tasteless but at a little extra oomph. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-work-out-without-losing-weight#post-699177 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 12:31:08 +0000 littlebittyhouse 699177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: OMG. I've been on both ends (wanting to lose and now, wanting to maintain) and honestly, they are both hard! I eat a lot right now and really no junk so the thought of eating more is scary. Although I suppose if I work out I'll be hungrier?</p> <p>@jh524: Thank you for that breakdown! Just what I needed to not be overwhelmed by eating more.</p> <p>Any ideas for healthy fats? I do both olive oil and avocado daily. Not sure what else I can add there. </p> <p>Also - I think I struggle with the protein. I usually have beans and poultry at lunch, a lara bar in the afternoon and pultry/beef for dinner. Are there any other options? Yogurt is out because of the dairy/soy allergy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-work-out-without-losing-weight#post-699139 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 12:20:08 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 699139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>P.S. I wish I had this problem ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-work-out-without-losing-weight#post-699104 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 12:11:06 +0000 jh524 699104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To maintain your current weight: take your current body weight and multiply it by 10, then add 300 calories. That is the base amount of calories you need to eat on days of rest or no exercise. On days you workout, take the number of calories you burned in the workout and split it in two. So if you burned 500calories, add in a pre exercise snack of 250 calories and a post exercise snack of 250. Either way, replenish the calories lost during exercise and you'll maintain your current weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-work-out-without-losing-weight#post-699097 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 12:08:52 +0000 Sammyfab 699097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You wouldn't lose weight unless you're burning more calories than you're taking in. Like @Mrs. High Heels recommended, I'd focus on eating good fats and proteins and increasing your strength training (I.e. building muscle...which weighs more than fat :)). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-work-out-without-losing-weight#post-699091 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 12:07:32 +0000 mrsjyw 699091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>weight training + eat more fruits/veggies/protein! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-work-out-without-losing-weight#post-699084 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 12:04:37 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 699084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would eat more, but healthy foods - what about adding healthy fats into your diet? And instead of cardio, focus on strength training to maintain your muscle tone while maintaining your weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-work-out-without-losing-weight#post-699054 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 11:55:51 +0000 tysonja 699054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i would eat more! Healthy stuff of course (protein, complex carbs, etc!) ... unfortunately I don't have this problem right now, but maybe one day! good for you for working out!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-work-out-without-losing-weight#post-699043 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 11:53:48 +0000 Ginger333 699043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You'd increase your calories to make up for any deficit you'd have created with your cardio. It's important for heart health to exercise, I wouldn't give that up.<br /> So if you burn 300 calories running for 30 minutes, have 300 worth of extra food ... a post workout snack, apple &amp; peanut butter or some trail mix.<br /> HTH :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-work-out-without-losing-weight#post-698494 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 09:07:28 +0000 littlebittyhouse 698494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been dairy and soy free for LO's allergy for a little over 7 months now. I've lost all the baby weight and then some. I want to be able to continue to nurse and not lose much more weight. I'd be ok with losing 5lbs more but nothing more than that.</p> <p>My question is this: how do I work out without losing weight? Eat more? Not do a lot of cardio? I'm lost! </p>
