I’m trying to lose roughly 5 lbs or 2% body fat but it doesn’t seem that most weight loss plans work for me?

I’m an athlete- I race mountain bikes and do triathlons. I’m also a vegetarian. I’ve found it difficult not only to maintain proper nutrition while training, but I would really like to lose some weight but have found that most weight loss plans don’t take into consideration the phsyical demands of a competitive vegetarian athlete. Any suggestions?

Lose weight by modifying your meals

Many people find that eating a couple of small snacks throughout the day helps them to make healthy choices at meals. A fattening breakfastof bacon and eggs or a pastry can be replaced with yogurt, oatmeal, high-fiber,low-sugar cereals; or fresh fruit or fruit smoothies. Look forhealthy, delicious meals online or in your cookbooks, and create amenu for the week. Make sure that your meal plan reduces your totalcalorie intake: you’re not going to lose weight if you consume thesame amount of calories by eating different foods. Make a list ofwhat you’ll need for these meals, and — except for a few snacks,of course — don’t stray from your list when you get to the market.

Exercise moderately

   A lot will depend on how much fat you are consuming. As a veg, your body will hold onto a good amount of fat because it doesn’t feel you are getting enough through your diet. it sounds weird, but you need to consider finding foods with more fat, and as long as you are watching your calories, your body will be willing to loose more fat.
