Hey! I'm 5'8 and weigh 137. I've very thin but I still have a bit of a stomach. If i lose at least 7 or 10 more pounds of fat, is there a high chance i can lose the little pudge I have left? Any tips would be great!

    If you're thin otherwise, you probably shouldn't lose anY more weight. Your best bet is to work on body recomposition to get your body fat percentage down.

    Try weight lifting or other heavy strength training.

    Slight calorie deficit (150-250 under your TDEE) and lift some weights.

    You're a woman! A little bit of tummy is a beautiful thing. Be happy that you're healthy. By the time you're my age, you'll know that wasn't really a tummy at all. Just a curve.

    ONLY 500 calories a day? No. Not a good idea. Enter a half pound a week as a goal. Eat that amount.

    I sincerely hope that's not all the calories for the entire day It would cause both my sister and I to faint from the lack. With so little to lose, weight lifting and strength training will be your hope, not a significant calorie deficit. Eat a healthy about for your activity level, and weight loss. The site is decent at figuring out what that is. And then work on changing how your body is composed via strength training.

    Eating so little is a surefire way to KEEP stomach fat. As, you'll be losing muscle along the way and seeing no measurement improvement.

    I honestly think you should eat a maintenance level or a slight deficit. You want fat loss right? Not just scale loss!

    Lift heavy! Free weights are your fwiend
