   You may be at a plateau. Try some circuit or interval training to boost your calorie burn. If you do the same workout over and over again, your body will get used to it and stop working as hard. You have to mix it up a little.

   As healthy as fruit may be, fructose the sugar in most fruit is the most lipogenic carb. Fructose converts to triglycerides in the liver & triglycerides "trap" fat in fat cells.

   The body won’t release fat stores while insulin dominates the blood stream. Lower carbs to <9g per hour to minimize insulin.

   your meals may be healthy, but are they low calorie? youre biggest thing is to figure out your caloric intake to stay at the weight you are at now, then subtract 500 calories from your diet a day. also, it is a common misconception that you should eat 3 big meals a day and snack in between, this is what your real meals should look like (though the servings will be off because i dont know your weight)

   say you wake up at 8 am ok

   8 am : 15-20 min cardio then a recovery shake.. something to put back electrolytes. also take your multivitamin in the morning

   9 am : fruit, dairy, protein ex) egg whites only and milk bananas are higher than most fruits in calories so try berries

   11:30 am : snack, this should be a small snack like string cheese or yogurt something like that

   2:00 pm : protein veggie dressing so maybe, chicken salad with light dressing

   5:00 pm: snack, again something small to curb your hunger it can be a fruit or veggie celery and pb make a good snack and give you a serving of veggie and protein

   8:00 pm: carb veggie protein fat ex) you could have like chicken tacos; corn tortillas chicken veggies- also when i say fat you do need some fat in your diet. stay away from saturated fat and trans fat, you need monounsaturated and polyunsaturated those are good fats.

   its up to you when you take in your carbs, some people say its better to take them in the morning so you are able to burn the calories through out the day. it really depends on when you do your second workout if youre looking to maximize fat loss, you should exercise 2 times a day cardio in the morning and then specific area in the evening like abs one day upper body the next legs and butt the next.. always switch it up.. dont overdo one area with out giving it time to recover..its like beating a dead horse.

   you want to make sure youre taking in sufficient amount of fiber, this will regulate your digestive system.. as gross as it sounds the average person carries an extra 4-8lbs of body weight in stool because they are not eliminating regularly (at least once a day)
   be sure to take in foods that are antioxidants.. if you notice you feel sluggish and tired even though youve gotten plenty of sleep (8-10hrs) then chances are youre not gettin the antioxidants you need

   some ex of antioxidant drinks:
   apple juice
   cider
   tomato juice
   green tea, black tea, plain tea
   red wine
   and beer.. yuck haha

   dried fruit has high levels of antioxidants

   some ex of high fiber foods:
   whole wheat bread, bagels, pasta
   muffins, granola, brown rice
   brocolli,corn, beans,carrots,peas

   hope i helped a little.. your biggest things right now is needing to figure out your current caloric intake and what it needs to be, its best to track your calories so you know what youre taking in.. taking in too little can also have a reverse effect on your body causing it to go into to starvation mode, thus causing your metabolism to plummet and your body to store fat. and remember 6 or 7 small meals a day and try not to eat after 8 if you go to bed at 10.. there should be a 2 - 2.5 hr window from your last meal and bed time

   First, you should not run, you should walk/jog. Running is for athletes in track teams trying to achieve speed and having to buy 2 pairs of expensive shoes every 3 months. Running is also for light people who don’t have to worry about putting too much pressure on their joints. If you have fat reserves to lose, you’re probably not light, so don’t run.

   Use walking to warm up and get up to your THR zone (Target Heart Rate zone, preferably the fat burning aerobic one), use walking to stay in your zone (above the Aerobic Zone is the Anaerobic Zone when fat burning shuts down so you need to walk to get back down) and to cool down. Use a heart monitor if you’re clueless.

   Second, if you want to use your fat reserves, you should walk/jog for more than 20 minutes, as your body starts using a percentage of fat reserves only after 20 minutes, the lower the intensity, the higher the percentage of fat reserves used. Doing just 15 minutes of exercising and all you do is depleting your blood glucose and your body gets hungry because you need to replenish, so you want to eat more…no wonder you eat 5 times a day.

   3 meals and 2 snacks? Don’t be like those people eating 5 times a day and expecting to use fat reserves while exercising!?!

   You should eat enough calories to cover your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) or your body will adapt to a low caloric intake and lower your metabolism, making it very hard for you to use your fat reserves. And then, as soon as you would eventually start eating normally again, you would make fat reserves very easily, because you would have a lower metabolism and therefore regain all the weight you lost and keep going up, unless you exercise A LOT.

   Women’s Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR):
   655 + (4.35 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in inches) - minus (4.7 x age in years)

   Eat a good meal (high carbs) then 2 hours later, have a good workout (like 2 hours…not 15 minutes) then it’s time for your second meal. And that’s it. No snacks or third meal as you don’t need them if your goal is to use your fat reserves when exercising. But pretty soon you’ll be fit and will be able to eat more to get more energy to exercise.
