I am sixteen.. 166cm tall and weigh around55kg.I am very athletic doing an hour of sports (eg.netball or kickboxing.) daily and other activities.I am pretty lean.
I recently lost around 17kg.. then found I was unable to sustain my weight turned unhealthy foods.
I have not gained more than 1kg but I recently had blood tests which revealed that I have high cholesterol (of the bad kind.. something like nine, I think.Dont know what that means)And I was shocked since I am only sixteen!
I found out though that my nan produced her own cholesterol all her life and had to take pills so that could have been passed on to me.
I was wondering what sort of nutritional needs do I have.
I want to lower my cholesterol if possible and I also would like to know what sorts of food I should be eating.
For example I am not sure if my body needs 2-3 serves of dairy two serves protien aswell as five veges two fruits daily.And because I do a lot of exercise does this mean I need a lot of extra carbs to sustain my body?
Also I suffer from stress and do meditation to help.. I was wondering can any supplements help with stress?
Do I even need them?
Also is it possible to estimate how many kj I need to aim for in a day.. because I really want to make sure I dont lose more weight right now.. my doctor has already suggested a low-fat diet.. which could easily stick to but I am afraid I might lose more weight.
Can you help?
