Im new to this forum but have been working out for years and have some questions. Let me give some stats first:
Height: 5'10
Weight: 155 (morning)
BF%: 4 (using the palm tanita, and I had to put the height to 5'8 just to get the 4.0 otherwise it shows up as E4)
I eat constantly having 8 to 10 meals a day, and 3 to 4 protein shakes a day. (day being 24 hours not just when Im awake)
I saw a nutritionist the other day and he said my metabolism was the highest he's ever seen before. My strength is above par IMO, and I feel great. My concern is my bf% being as low as it is. A friend of mine who is a nutritionist and in studies I have read say it's risky to be at that level (at a constant I mean.) Im not into competitive BB, and my bf% has for the most part always been around the same. What are some things I can do to raise it to a healthy level? What are some of the negatives that come with such a low bf% other than me getting cold or overheating super easy? Should I be doing something different with my diet maybe? I stick to chicken, seafood, def. watch my fat intake but only when it comes to trans and saturated, not completely staying away because I know the importance of fat, my carb intake is high, eating mostly complex but sticking to simple before workouts or any heightened activity. I eat about 200 to 225 grams of protein a day, about triple that in carbs and roughy about 150 grams of fat. I stay active throughout the day.
