Well yeah pretty simple. I'm 5'6" I believe and 135. I'm also 15 so don't worry, I still have a small muscle frame (which explains why I'm so light.) anyways, I'm trying to hit 130lb. for future tournaments this summer to go against kids my size. My last tournament I came in at 135 in a 130-150 division. After I take a small tourney break I'm gunna try and hit 150lb. For some reason I like going against guys taller than me. Anyways, I don't know anything about this whole nutrition thing. What things should I be eating and how much and how far apart? Also what time should I stop eating after? I still have a bit of tummy and light chest fat by the way so don't think I'm starving to death over here or something! ;D

When and how often you eat actually has been shown to not matter. I'll post citation if I can dig it up, I think I posted it on YA a few times on the diet board. Carbohydrate intake before bed has also shown to not matter in terms of gaining weight, however, weight loss was greater for test subjects who did not consume carbs prior to bed.
You really shouldn't worry about weight classes at your age, nor worry too much about weight management (especially since you are at a healthy weight, just on the light side). Also, I don't quite follow why you want to drop to 130, which is the minimum for your weight class, when you want to fight in the class above yours.

Actually, looking at a weight/height ratio scale, Yes.. I'm on the light side when it comes to an adult, but looking at the teen version I'm considered average. Which is true, I still have a little belly fat, and sorry the true weight class was 131-150. I want to hit 130 for 111-130. I used to be 165lb. After training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu/MMA I dropped the weight naturally without trying, and the reason I want to hit 130 is because I want to against guys my size for once in a tournament. All the guys in my gym are grown ass men in their prime I haven't had the chance to go against someone with my attributes Lol. I still got 2nd place in the tournament, but I could just imagine going against kids MY size and weight being a whole lot easier. After I take a break I'm gunna try and hit 150lb. Honestly, my instructor is 5'3" and god damn 180lb. I believe! I don't only want to lose the weight for tournaments too but to just look good in general. For Christ's sake I have an 18 hear old girlfriend! I gotta stay in shape!! You gotta help me dude.  |
