Putting on too much bodyfat, not nearly enough muscle...
For reference, I'm a 5'7" 133-136 (fluctuating) lb female, 21 years old. Been eating 1,530+ calories as opposed to my regular 13-1400, adjusted my macros to what my trainer specified, and I am pretty sure I am just getting fat. My body feels softer, my face looks fuller, my boobs got bigger (a sure sign!) and my clothes…

Muscle effecting Body Fat%? Please Help!

getting out of starvation mode without gaining weight?
I started out my diet eating 1200 calories a day, and I lost weight gradually and in a healthy way. As this proceeded, I started eating less and less to 800, 600 and now this week, I've been eating 400-500 calories a day. (and I've lost weight) My body is probably in starvation mode and I want to eat more, but would that…

Just need someone to talk to.
Here's my story. Just looking for someone to listen and maybe give some advice. Back in Nov. of 2013 I looked in the mirror and realized I wasn't happy. That my first few months of college allowed me to put on the freshman 15. I was currently 5'5'' and 127 pounds. This may not seem like a lot, but back in june I weighed in…

I seem to have lost weight?
Argh, after weeks of doing well with my increased calorie consumption and hardly doing any exercise at all I appear to have lost weight rather than gain it like I want to. Not lost much thankfully but I have been eating more and working out less so I am not a happy bunny right now, the last few weeks have been a struggle…

Now jump to Friday, I tried warming up squats with 5lb dumdbells but the pain was sharp this…

Should I run still?
I've posted before. Long story short-- I lost my period about 9 months ago due to my unhealthy lifestyle. I wasn't eating and I was exercising 3+ hours a day. I'm 5'5'' and 110 lbs right now. My lowest was 107. I am advised that I need to be eating 2000-2500 calories a day from my doctor. I am aiming for 2000 and this is…

To run or not to run
Okay here's the deal. I ran varsity track and cross country every year that I was in school. I just enjoy it.

I decided to lose weight…

Recomp technique
Hey guys, I keep hitting on this, and I know questions have been answered in other forums saying it is basically impossible but I came across the recomp technique and I was wondering if it is applicable for people with sub 12% body fat? It seems the primary people using this are people that claim to be in the 20-30% body…

Bulking without being lean?
Not at the bulking stage just yet just want to do my research before I get there. I have read in many places that you shouldn't bulk till you are sub 15% bf or you will gain a higher ratio of fat to lbm, but how much of a difference does it make? The reason i ask for me to be sub 15% bf I would roughly have to get to 150lb…

Weight Gain Idea - Good or Bad?
I have been worried about my weight for a long time, as I've been underweight for as long as I can remember. A while ago, I heard that starvation is one of the worst ways to lose weight because your body goes into starvation mode and stores everything as fat when you begin to eat again. Which can often lead to a greater…

Pros and Cons of logging for ED recovery?
I'm trying to overcome ED But i find that logging my intake just gets me obsessed with meeting calorie requirements - or worse, trying to eat "under" just coz I can. For example, my stupid brain prefers to eat only 700 on some days because even the idea of shooting above 1000 is too "high." At the same time, logging to…

Wish I had his weight problem
My husband is 51 years old. He's 6'2" and 143 lbs. He has ADHD, and an injured spine. The man can eat sweets like there's no tomorrow and not gain an ounce. He's been pretty sedentary for the last 2 years because of his injuries, yet still doesn't gain weight. I'm really worried about him. He's a very picky eater, too.…
