Just eat more protein, and do less cardio. If you must jog frequently, jog SLOW. The slower you move, the more focused your body will be on burning fat, not muscle. When you do cardio, you burn FAT and MUSCLE. With muscle being the higher in a 2:1 ratio. Like for every 2 pounds of muscle you burn, you only burn 1 pound of fat. like that. Do less cardio 1-2 times a week max, and Do weight-lifting 2-3 times a week, never working the same muscles 2 days in a row. You will notice the difference quite quickly.

Edit: as far as sore legs after jogging, are you jogging on pavement? If you jog outside, in a park etc, try to stay on the grass as much as possible, and if you can, running inside a gymnasium is the best option. The only thing is that running indoors in a circle can be pretty boring, but you won't have arthritis when you turn 40.

does that mean jogging every day actually isn't all that healthy?
