You need to eat food to lose weight properly. And how your body stores fat isn't good or bad, it just is. Most everyone has a bit of fat on their lower abdomen. Look up tdee calculator and find out your tdee based on sedentary, subtract 500 to lose 1 lb, 1000 to lose 2 lbs per week. Hit your protein macros, the rest can…

Protein keeps you full. I just started strength training, eating about 180 g of protein per day. I'm eating to maintenance (or more if I'm still…

I'm strength training, and it requires a crazy amount of protein, which I try to make sure I hit my protein goals first, then I fill the rest with what I want (sticking to primarily whole foods, but allowing for a daily treat that fits). I struggled to hit 1800 yesterday just because the protein made me so full. So my…
