ANSWER: Supriya,
I don't think you are getting enough protein in your diet, which will make it hard for your body to build/ repair the muscle that you are working out for. It looks as though you are a vegetarian, but adding more beans, nuts, and whole grains into your diet will help to boost your protein levels.

Now, you are within what is considered a healthy weight- so it may be that with more protein your muscles will firm up and you will feel better about your body.

Hope this helps,

QUESTION: Hello Lela,

can you please give answer of my previos question that is , is it good it eat nuts before workout.

Please please help me.

Thanks

Answer
I do Nutritional coaching- so I don't set up meal plans, instead I help people determine the best diet for themselves. I would eat something that is more quick energy before your workout- fruit or something like that, then eat the nuts after when your muscles need the protein for repair.

Hope that helps,
Lela Simon
