If you fall into the category of weight loss, then I ask (again); what exactly are you trying to accomplish? There are countless instances where health-grinding starvation diets are definitely accomplishing weight loss, but at what cost? As a martial artist who is training for peak performance, the weight you carry must be as functional as possible. In other words, adding 25 pounds of muscle does more to add power, speed, and agility then does 25 pounds of fat. Therefore, a starvation diet which results in a loss of both fat and muscle accomplishes weight loss, however, at the price of the power, speed, and agility that are crucial in your abilities as a martial artist. Male athletes should target a bodyfat percentage of between 10 and 15 percent whereby female athletes should target between 20 and 25 percent. There are certainly cases of lower percentages among athletes, however, this could have other implications on your health so check with your doctor before going for those real lean numbers. So before you cut that meal in half and buy a new scale, consider investing in a body composition test and feeding your body the nutrients it requires to meet your training goals.
