    Since you have previously stated that you suffer from anorexia and binge restrict cycles have you talked with your treatment team about your current plan. Low calories and exercise 5/6 times a week and a goal weight that is at the bottom of health bmi could be excessive and unhealthy for you.

    Yup. This is a recipe for disaster and relapse. Http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/comment/40115334

    Love, a small bone structure has no influence on the weight you should be on. Lets look at it that way. The density of bone is approximately 1600 kg/m3. now one cubicmeter bone is a massive amount. The whole skeleton is a tiny fraction of that. Lets cut those numbers down to something more useful. 1.6 grams/cm3 looks more useful. The average bones in a human body are about 15% of body weight. In your case about 8.95kg. Slightly wider shoulders, hips and other major body parts don't account for much, a wider rib cage even for less. So lets be very generous and say an additional 50cm3 of bone. That's 80 grams more weight due to heavy bones. No, this makes clear that your weight doesn't need to be lower because you have a small frame.

    If you mean you look flabby then you should be looking at a progressive weightlifting programme. Think about it: you want to become leaner. Eating less calories than your body needs doesn't only burn fat, but also muscles. Muscles are easy to lose, but very difficult to gain, especially for a woman and even more so on a calorie deficit. So you lose your desired 9km. A substantial amount on such a bit deficit as you want to run will be muscles. You lose the weight, you'll look more flabby as as your weight not fat but lack of muscles makes you look flabby.

    You are not overweight but don't like how you like. I can understand that. Since you have such a small bone structure and normal weight, I would start resistance/weight training.
    I'm sure your skin and overall tone would be "better" ;)

    I don't know if you just want this to be a "challenge" or if you want lasting results, but consider this:

    You're already at a normal weight for your height, and your goal weight is just inside the normal BMI range (less than a kilo away from the border to underweight).

    Good nutrition means getting in a wide variety of foods. Your meal plan looks very restrictive and not very balanced.

    We can do anything for a while, but what matters in the long run is what we do over time.

    Boring and restrictive eating invariably leads to overindulgence.

    I totally get what you are saying!
    This is something like a challenge and then from there on I plan to be a bit less strict on myself.

    I understand your concerns about my weight.
    However I have a super small bone structure and feel less energetic than before. This doesn't just feel right for me.
    And food wise, I spent a long time on a balanced plan and nutrition. However carbs are just not for me. They increase my hunger, never keep me full and I feel sluggish all day long. Proteins on the other hand just work perfectly fine for me.

    Look into recomposition, instead of aggressive weight loss. Aggressive weight loss helps you lose fat+lean muscle mass.

    Instead concentrate on lowering your body fat %. Eat at a very slight deficit and focus on progressive lifting, not so much cardio. Strength training will shape your body.

    Eating "clean" whatever your definition is, is not necessary. Should we eat better? Should we eat less junk? Yes of course. But attempting to eat "perfectly" for a brief time isn't a forever fix.
