Questions on boxing diet and training. I'm a 15 year old girl and I hope to one day become a boxer. I won't lie, I am a little overweight, so lately I've been jogging, doing push-ups, and sit-ups everyday. I've also been working on my punching bag and speed bag. I know to stay away from saturated fats, fried/ processed/ and fast foods, but what exactly should I eat (and how much). Can I eat candy. If so what kind?
Plus, if you have any suggestions on some exercises that could help me or anything else, feel free to tell.

Sounds like you've got the exercise part covered, the running is the best part of what you're doing, stick to that and run as far as you can (don't push yourself, you'll know when you've hit your limit) you'll see the weight come off in no time.
Re: Questions on boxing diet and training. Find a gym near you (we may be able to help depending on where you live) and train there, all gyms will put you through cardio as well as boxing (excellent exercise in itself).
If you want to lose weight keep up the running and maybe try swimming as well, you can eat sweets I just wouldn't everyday or in large quantites same for fast food and alcohol.
Re: Questions on boxing diet and training. Boxing is perhaps the most challenging sport of all. A boxer requires a unique blend of speed, strength, and endurance. In addition to these qualities, he must stand up to the punishment inflicted by an equally matched opponent. To withstand the inevitable pain and fatigue, the boxer must possess a mind that is as tough as his body.
Boxing is not just about getting into shape and mastering the tools of the sweet science. An equally important aspect of the fight game is having the mental fortitude to succeed. Boxing is unique from other sports, as a fighter must stand alone inside the ring. Even legendary trainers such as Eddie Futch and Angelo Dundee would exit the ring during rounds.
Regardless of your abilities, the time will come when you must battle fatigue. You may be hurt or injured, yet forced to continue. Boxing is not like other sports where you can look to the referee to call timeout. Instead, you must fight until the bell rings. You have the option to quit, but real fighters never will. Real boxers fight regardless of the adversity faced inside the ring.
A strong mind can help during these difficult times. The mind is a powerful tool that some never learn to control. For example, all boxers understand the importance of running, watching their diet, and training hard in the gym. Why then, are some fighters in amazing shape, while others only mediocre? Why do some fighters have difficulties making weight, while others weigh in perfectly every time? The answers to these questions lie within the mental discipline of the fighter. It is easy to cheat on your diet and easy to skip your roadwork. Unfortunately for many, boxing is not an easy sport.

Re: Questions on boxing diet and training. You need to focus on cardio, go out jogging for 1 1/2 hours 3 days per week. Also go hill sprinting for the other two, sprint up a hill at 80% of your max for 30 secs. Then each time you sprint up go 100%, repeat this 3-4 times. You can increase any of these factors to make it harder. One final progression you could do is if you take a friend with you, you could take some pads n gloves. Once you have finished the sprint and jogged back down, you could do 2 min's of pad work. And keep changing over until you are both knackered.
join a gym if you can. I just did and they started me with 5 min stretching, 10 min of jumprope, 4 (3 min each) rounds of shadow boxing, followed by 4-8 rounds of punching sandbags, 1 round of punching mitts, ab work, pushups, back extensions, curls and 5 min stretching for cooldown. No idea how this compares with a beginner routine in the States since I live in Japan. But its a decent start. GL

Re: Questions on boxing diet and training. You must remember that candy is very high in calories and very low in everything else you need. If you eat candy for a snack instead of fruit, vegetables, or whole grains, you will increase calories only. But piece of candy wont hurt you. Eat anything at moderate level.
Re: Questions on boxing diet and training. But one thing is the calorie intake sounds too low, your the same height as me but a bit heavier and my basal metabolic rate is 1600 calories, below that puts your body in starvation mode. So I wouldn't go below 1700 if I were you and if you want to increase the deficit just up the intensity of your workouts rather than cutting food too drastically. After all if you kill yourself too soon your going to burn yourself out
Also don't worry about not having a punching bag, I think the best thing you can do when training on your own is shadow boxing in front of the mirror. So many times at the gym you see new guys just trying to hit the bag as hard as possible, which stuffs up your technique and gives you minimal benefit. Plus you get to see how you look from your oppositions point of view. Most of all, have fun with it mate, it's a great sport, there is so much info on this site to help your development and fitness.
