There are other causes for constipation because it sounds like you have a healthy diet. Hypothyroidism electrolyte imbalances such as low potassium and high calcium. Pain medication including opioid analgesics. May be idiopathic and medication may be beneficial.Would see m.

Fortet Percentages: Keep it simple, forget percentages, that's no way to live, what you do on a "diet" needs to be done forever, best way is to identify causes of your wt gain in first place, here is list of top 5 causes:
sugary drinks
fast food
fried foods

large portions

cut out 2 of these & wt loss is easy!, note
high carbs & fat top the list!

Your BMI is 23 which  is normal.  At age 16 I would not restrict calories (1900 calories  a day is low) if you have a normal BMI- as you are still growing .  Discuss w/ your pediatrician

Question 5

is this the right diet to get ripped?, im hving 0.5g of fat per pound of bodyweight, 40 to 50g of carbs & 1 to 1.5g of protein per pound of bodyweight

Accepted Answer

Fat is not the Enemy: Sugar is the enemy.  If you want to be ripped you will make your diet composition 60% protein, 20 to 25% percent carbs and the rest the necessary fat calories to sustain life. Carbohydrates are the enemy.

Question 6

how many fats, proteins and carbs should i have in a 1, 250 calorie diet?

Accepted Answer

Diet science: Proteins 65%.
Carbohydrates 25%
fats 15%.

Question 7

advice? would low carb high fat/protein diet clog my arteries?

Accepted Answer

Controversial: Conventional wisdom is "yes" but short term studies of patients on the adkin's diet (low carb, high fat) surprisingly had lower cholesterols. And it's unknown if the long term incidence of disease and death is affected.

Question 8

can you let me know how many grams of fat, carbs and protein would you recommend i have in a 2400 calorie diet?

Accepted Answer

Ratio of foods: Ahhh, the classic answer is 40/30/30. That is 40% carbs, 30% fat, 30% protein. But i disagree. Much more important is to eliminate sweets and starches, getting 100% of carbs from non-starch vegetables and a small amt. Of fruit. The eat a modest amt. Of protein. This way there is no counting, measuring or weighing and weight control is a snap. Just don't be in denial of what you're eating.

Question 9

i am an endomorph and want to bulk up as clean as possible, should i follow a high protein and fat diet with one day of carb loading a week?

Accepted Answer

Bulking up.: Sounds good.  A high protein diet along with resistance exercises or strength training will help you build muscle mass.  Be sure to alternate muscle groups each day to allow for muscle recovery.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

No: That is not true or all vegetarians would be dead.
