Am I losing weight too fast? Im around 19% bf rn. Im 18 yrs old and 5’6. Ive been using what mpf gave me for my daily calorie intake. I’m also in a high protein low carb diet so im not exactly sure if all the weight loss is fat. Should i up my calories? xlp0ntq3qqop.png

    No.

    Low carb means you're not retaining as much water as you used to.

    Most of this weight lost probably isn't even fat, just water.

    Agreed. If this is your first month, that's fine. If you continue losing more than 1 lb per week on average, then yes you should eat a little more.
