  • I have reviewed the advice multiple times though. People suggested I focus on recomp: which I have already tried for a span of 3 months prior to any of these discussions, but for some reason my body would not get rid of the fat covering the muscles I gained. I like muscle, but not at the expense of looking a lot fatter…
  • For everyone thinking I ignored the last discussions: I haven't. I have already tried everything they suggested and it didn't work. For about 3 months I lifted, did body weight and strength building exercises while eating more protein and hitting my macros. I built muscle during that process but didn't lose any fat, just…
  • Thank you for the advice. I'm not really looking to recomp right now though, last time I tried I went up a few dress sizes because the muscle grew without getting rid of any fat (even though I was dieting and hitting correct macros in hopes of getting rid of the fat) so I just looked bigger overall. I'm trying to fit in…
  • I don't think that's the issue...I already weigh and measure my food. For example, today I ate a small bowl of cereal with almond milk, a small sandwich with lettuce, tomatoes and sliced turkey, and exactly half an avocado. There is no way that measures to more than 1200 calories.
  • Ok, I will try eating a little bit more. I am just concerned because the last time I tried raising my calories after dieting, I just gained weight. I guess what I'm really confused about is why I haven't lost any weight eating at less than 1200.
  • I do. However there are some days I take the liberty not to because I am positive I am eating below 1200. For example, yesterday if I just ate 2 eggs, a small sandwich, and an apple I don't see the point of logging it because intuitively I know I am eating at a deficit.
