    Also please don't worry about getting bulky. As a female, this cannot happen to you accidentally. You would have to make a great, deliberate effort both nutritionally and exercise-wise over a long period of time to force your body to bulk up.

    You will NOT bulk up.
    You will NOT bulk up.
    You will NOT bulk up!!!!!!

    You lose weight with a calorie deficit.
    You bulk up with a calorie surplus.

    Eating under your BMR will not help you "tone up." If you're looking to change your body composition, focus on eating the right amount of calories, getting in proper nutrition and macros, and consider adding in a heavy lifting routine.
