    I would trim out the cheese, and keep the plant fats. If that is not enough, you could lower the amount of plant fats. Fats that you eat absolutely contribute to your body fat. People who eat really low fat, like fruitarians, are some of the skinniest people around. Check out this video from "foodnsport" on youtube.

    I'm beginning to believe your a troll simply because without exception your posts are ridiculously inaccurate. The problem is, innocent people that don't know much about nutrition might take you seriously, stop talking.

    agree

    OP: eat the fat. i'm set at 30% but am often over (highest has been 53% :o). i'm of the opinion that as long as it doesn't affect my protein goal its no biggie.

    i find an earlier poster's advice of 20% ridiculous. as a female, this would affect hormone production - personally, i wouldnt be able to get my required allotment of nutella at that =D

    ETA: your abs look amazing btw

    Thank you :flowerforyou: I also love that I just read this while spooning Nutella into my smoothie...one spoon for the blender, one for me.....

    Thanks everyone for their responses, I really do love this site! Gonna carry on eating my avocados with a smile on my face :happy:

    Ooh now I'm confused! I've been eating far more protein than that, 130 - 150g, but I can't lift heavy because I don't have access to a gym. I do body weight exercises though and squats/lunges/shoulder presses/bicep curls and other bits and bobs with 4 and 5kg dumbells. I would love to do a proper lifting program but its just not possible for me right now :-( I'm starting to feel like I'll never get there :frown:

    If your profile pic is you, I think you're doing fine.

    You can eat that much protein without any issues. I eat 170-200g per day. The more protein and healthy fats you eat, the less carbs you will eat, so it's all good!

    It is me :smile: I have loathed (I'm afraid that is the only word strong enough) my tummy for about 10 years and hidden it away, I wouldn't even wear a bikini on the beach. I've made so much progress since sorting out my diet, I have always been an active person but I either under-ate, or ate the wrong things all the time. Chocolate being the main problem...

    When I saw things start to change I thought "I need to get over my tummy-hating and put it out there" hahaha :laugh:

    Fat doesn’t make you fat. Sugar makes you fat.

    Neither sugar nor fat make you fat. Excess calories makes you fat. Fin

    Fat on your abs???? What???? Is this a joke? You look amazing woman!!!!!!!!:drinker: :drinker: :love:

    Ah thank you :flowerforyou: I've worked really hard but there is a little bit left at the bottom that I would like to shift if I can :smile:

    it's the hardest area to lose on. it will take a lot of time, and very disciplined eating habits.
