for further reference, this is how I look at 165ish pounds (more or less how i look currently). i wouldn't call myself fat, but my ideal weight range is 150-155, which would probably still be too high for a lot of 5'7 women

It depends! I'm 5'7 and for me, anything below 155ish is healthy and looks good on my body. The lowest I ever got was 146 and I was getting pretty bony, so I wouldn't want to go much lower than that. With my frame/how muscular I am, I can't imagine ever going under 140 pounds and not being underweight. For reference, I…

I maintain my lowest (goal) weight on 1800/2000 calories without exercise and I can maintain my current weight (20 pounds over goal) at around 2200 without exercise!

My goal is 2000 but I try to hit 1800 when I don't exercise. Add me if you like

I weigh and count my fruits and veggies

I hate panty lines too but I tried wearing thongs to the gym and it's just so uncomfortable to me, so now I just wear looser /seamless panties and try not to think about panty lines too much. And I'd never go commando for a workout, gosh, I can't even imagine how sweaty and gross things would get . . . I don't know how…

my go-to breakfast is pretty much i take 1/2 or a whole avocado, mash it up, add a little lemon or lime juice and some salt and pepper, spread that on toast or crumpets. sometimes i add sliced veggies and peppers on top too. i have that and a small pot of coffee with added soy/almond/dairy milk (depends on my mood and what…

I buy and eat both non fat and full fat, actually! I prefer full fat, but sometimes the non-fat fits my remaining calories/macros better so i go with that on those days.

yeah, squarewhiteplate.tumblr.com is my current one but i'm not very consistent with posting because it's a side blog. it's a mix of text posts about my weight loss and recovery from binge eating/ EDNOS, pics of my food, reblogs of fitness gifs and recipes, that sort of thing

Doctors basically get zero meaningful nutrition training. I think there's only one required basic nutrition class in med school and that's the extent of it unless you specialize - at least that's how things were up until a few years ago. Just because someone has a medical degree doesn't mean that they're educated about…

Pretty sure "bodies and cells" mainly run on glucose, actually.

This gives me second-hand embarrassment

I mean, I don't have an official one, but some days I go higher calorie and then make up for it by going a little lower the other days. I really only look at my weekly averages. For example, my goal is 1850, and today I ate 2100. That's a higher than usual day for me, but if I stick to 1850-1900 the rest of the days, I'll…

Soulful, intelligent eyes. And muscular arms.

Sending you a request :)

If you search "strength training" in the box that comes up when you click "add exercise" under the Cardiovascular tab, that'll give you calories burned

As often as you like if it fits your macros and allows you to keep to your calorie deficit

If your maintenance is 2290 (without exercise? I am not sure if you mentioned how active you are - if that's your TDEE without exercise you can make it a lot higher if you start working out ), and you're having trouble sticking to 1600, my suggestion is to up your calories and take the slightly slower weight loss. It's not…

No. No. No. No. Some things I buy regularly: plain Fage greek yogurt, organic milk, organic eggs, spinach, zucchini, mushrooms, bell peppers, mixed greens, kale, cucumbers, baby carrots, frozen veggie burgers, olives, different kinds of cheese, bread (i like dave's killer bread brand), hummus, soymilk, almond milk, both…

black cherry ice cream Edit: Sorry, that was meant for Phoenix_Rising! The next person would be a strawberry wafer

You can add me if you like. I want to lose 15-20 pounds as well

I'm in, July goal for me is 40 miles

I cook with coconut oil most of the time and I really like it. I've tried it in coffee and it's pretty good, but not really my thing. Just use it in place of whatever cooking oil you use if you're trying to get more of it into your diet

Exactly. I use the phrase "cheat day" because it's easier for other people to get what I mean, but I don't think of overeating one day as a "cheat" because I try not to think of food that way. I'm not really "cheating" if my calories come out to an overall deficit, I'm just choosing to spend more calories on certain days…

Wow . . . get off your high horse.

barbell squats.

The Total/full fat version is pretty hard to find, and I'm sure this person is suggesting 2% as an alternative to the non-fat kind (which is what most people who are dieting tend to go for).

I don't know, I mean I do have a higher calorie day or two every week, but I go by weekly averages, so I don't really care if I go higher one day as long as my average at the end of the week comes out to under my TDEE. I usually aim to average 2000 calories. So usually I'll have one 3,000 calorie day and then maybe 1800…

Me? Nah, I'm 152ish in the pic :) For you I'd guess 115?

@j4nash 215?
