Cathe,
Hi! I'm looking for advice on what I should be eating to really tone up and lose fat. I've started adding more protein to my diet and eating between 20-30 grams of fat per day. What I really need is some good advice regarding protein and daily calorie requirements for me. I'm barely 5ft. and weigh about 97 lbs. I want to look fit, but don't really need to lose weight (just a little extra fat here and there). How many calories do you suggest I consume per day, and what ratios of carbs, protein, and fat? Oh, I do work out five days per week alternating cardio videos(2x's per week) with aerobic weight training videos (3x's per week). Thanks in advance.

. But what I do recommend to you is to look up a registered dietician and/or qualified nutritionist in your local yellow pages and talk to one of them about your concerns. They can work with you and set up a personalized food plan that incorporates all of your specific needs. Good Luck!
