Fact I learned: When your stomach growls, you do NOT always need to eat. A growling stomach doesn't just mean you are hungry. Stomach growling occurs when your small intestine and stomach are digesting food. The noise is just air bubbles (gas) showing that its all done digesting. Eating quiets it because you are giving it more to digest even though it doesn't need it.

It looks like you're doing fine. Just be sure you're eating enough, and working out. When it comes down to it, you just have to burn more than you eat. :]
I would calculate your BMR (how many calories your body burns doing absolutely nothing for a full day) and then aim to eat that many calories and then burn 500 calories extra a day with exercise. Martial arts is a serious workout.
Hope that helps. :]

i went to my campus nutritionist today and it was great. she was saying how if i keep exercising the way i am i need to consume about 1300 calories a day for my goal.i can go as low as 1100 cals/day.but to even out i should aim for 1200cal/day.and she gave me a list of foods that are 400cal or less.Since my school only allows 3 meals then 400*3=1200 even. So ill either hit 1200 or below which is fine.im excited.pics to come soon.i took then before i started but im having trouble loading them.
