if i eat just breakfast like a bagel in the morning and eat like a little bag of chips 150 calories and come home and go running for like 30 mintues, would that make me lose weight faster since i didnt eat that much and am probably burning more than i ate that day?

Then about four or five hours later I'd go to bed. So about around 6pm I'd eat then go to bed around 10pm-11pm. I'd get up about 5am, stretch and I'd run five miles BEFORE breakfast. I'd let my body decided how much I should eat. By the end of the five miles I'd be extremely hungry. Once again I ate a well balanced breakfast but I ran a lot and I did eat a lot too. You calorie intake will be higher if you are working out compared to someone who is just sitting around. Also to, if you don't eat enough, you'll feel lagged and extremely tired, thus making you want to quit and give up. I have no clue to as what your intake should be but a personal trainer should be able to answer that.
I wish you luck!

I had to come back and enter more information.
My point is, you should let your body decide what it needs, that's why I suggest eating after you workout, not before. It may take a bit longer to loose but it will be more of a longer lasting thing. [ ChevyIINova's advice column | Ask ChevyIINova A Question ]
