Answers:
It looks like you are taking in roughly 1500 calories a day!. Based on your profession, construction, and the amount of additional exercise you get in you should be taking in around 2800-3200 calories!. With the amount of activity you have, this number of calories, provided that the total fat content is around 20%, should help you to lose weight!. If you continue to eat too few calories, you will not lose weight!. Your metabolism will slow down and make it impossible for you to make any progress!. I know it sounds counterintuitive but in your case you need to eat more to lose weight!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
