Okay girls I need some advice. So I’ve always had legs that were on the thicker side. I started running more frequently thinking it would help with this issue. Well not only did my legs get thinner but I lost my butt. Now I am trying to find the best exercises to help me work on that. Any advice on diet and exercise for this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

    Thanks!!! I already started trying to take in more calories each day. Hoping that I start to see results I like soon.

    Eat in a small surplus to build muscle (gain up to 0.5lbs per week to keep fat gains at bay), you can also eat at maintenance and recomp depending on your stats and leanness (it is typically very slow, and results will not be as significant.. especially for booty gains) if that is you in your photo I would definitely go for the bulk.

    Also super important, follow a progressive lifting program focusing on the glutes (Strong Curves)

    Thank you for your advice!! And yes that’s me in the pic. I am trying to intake more calories and bulk just not sure how much I should actually be intaking to get the correct results.

    You should be aiming to gain 0.5lb per week to minimise fat gains

    Enter your stats into MFP to gain 0.5lb per week (keep in mind it doesn't include exercise calories so you will have to add and eat those back). Or you can use another calorie calculator (IIFYM, Scoobys etc) that uses your maintenance/TDEE or total daily calories... add 250 per day and set that as your goal on here.
