Sure mine is public!

It all depends on your height, and secondarily on your fat to muscle ratio. 150 lbs and 9% body fat at 5'7"? Sure you could be a size 4. 150 lbs and 27% body fat? No. 27% body fat but 5'11" at 150 lbs? Sure you could be a size 4. I'm a size 2 and I am 111 lbs at 5'9". So if you're my height you could go with 120 at ~20%…

I see myself as slim and I really like how I look. I still want to improve muscle but I am happy. My family now thinks I look too skinny though. Can't please everyone!

Well, there's peanut butter, eggs, and nuts for quick fixes. I know meat generally connotes long cooking time, but fish fillets are really fast and easy. Fish also has great fats in it as well. If you're talking about percentage goals, it'll help you even more to substitute instead of just trying to cram it in. Going for…

Going all-out keto might not be the best idea if you really love sugars. Try reducing sugars and starches in increments. You will only keep off the weight by changing your lifestyle: a month of keto and then back to normal will hardly do much good in the long run.

It won't kill you. I didn't say that. I said eating under your BMR is alright and sometimes necessary if you're excessively obese and likely to die. Very soon. From a heart attack or something.

Depends. If your BMR is say 1200 and TDEE 1800, and you just can't fit the 1800 and manage 1400, that's alright. However if with the same stats you're subsisting on 900 a day, no. You should never net below your BMR unless you're extremely obese and might otherwise die from health complications. Peanut butter is a great…

Maybe 10? It would take about a minute and 20 seconds to do them.

I was really surprised to find out a cup of cooked oatmeal has nearly 200 cals. I would've guessed 150. And sausages! Almost 300 for just one link! Ouch! Now I cut them up into pieces and eat them in soups or salads.

Definitely BMIs don't account for build or %s! I'm 5'9" and 112 lbs but I'm not super skinny because of my build. Others who are same height as me weigh more and still look just as slim - but they are bigger overall with things like thicker wrists and stuff like that!

Well, first of all I suggest that you do your HIIT after weights. Just as a strength building issue. And well I think 1400 is way better. I think you probably had your goal at 1200 because you wanted to lose. Well, doing your HIIT after weights will help you burn more fat. Lifting weights destroys your glycogen stores so…

Ripe bananas + coconut cream! Also, a teaspoon of raisins is great too! I don't like honey because it melts and you can hardly taste it :(

I am 5'9.25" :) wow so many tall women! I started at 135 lbs and have reached my goal weight of 115. In fact now I am 110lbs. I am proud of my achievements but definitely don't want to go any lower! At 135 I was a size 7 and now I am a size 2. You can do it if you really want to!

Haha, guess I was hoping for a shortcut xD

Awesome that is my target!

Well in that case it would be 65 cal per 8oz! even better!

I'm so sorry! I had only a half a glass and so it messed up my calculations :( One glass is actually 80 cals. That being said - still pretty good! the whole recipe then is 240 cals total. Thanks for catching the error :P

To me, it's not the number, but people without muscle tone. I don't think the skinny look works for people without muscle.

I'm no expert, but it is true that one's metabolism will slow down if the fuel being put into it is reduced. Think of it like a car. If you switch to a smaller model it won't need as much fuel! You can help keep your metabolism going by fuelling it up the same but then burning that deficit off instead of just not consuming…

Amen! Is there any option besides coconut oil ? Not around my house!

Two farm eggs fried in coconut oil and lightly salted, tossed in raw spinach and baby kale. A couple figs. Pasta with spinach. Some mean green juice, but less ginger more apple. Basa fillets fried in coconut oil served with a tomato-based sauce including onions, celery, olives and spinach. A few rice noodles with liquid…

Yes I am quite confused now, @reimersma4 .... I did lift today and ate 1570 cals! .... Is that more than I need?

I realize that -_- I am trying to up my caloric intake! I've brought it up from about 800 to 1400-1500. I am 5'9" and I weigh 114 or 115 lbs. I've gained 2 so that's good. I don't know my body fat percentage. I'm not jiggly, that's all haha.

I think she looks great! But she started way more ripped than I am or less fat. Do you think it could be a little different for other people? Like, a pound of muscle?... I've never believed that they burn cals at rest but surely through all the examples I have seen, they must improve insulin sensitivity or something of the…

Sorry man, I'm going to have to go with the visual proof here and put more faith in success stories than just one counterexample.

Fitnessblender is cool. But, I use Hasfit as well. I find fitnessblender is sometimes not motivating enough and Hasfit workouts really get me into the game!

Wow thank you for sharing! I am definitely up for hard work! @cmeirun thanks for sharing as well. Yes, I've been reading everything on body recomposition that I can possibly get my hands on! Good to know that there's counter evidence against the nay sayers.

Hey! Cool idea! I have the games you mentioned :) while DDR2 is entirely cheap with terrible graphics and not related to dancing in the slightest -- BOY does Silver Dream on advanced beat the snot out of you. On the other hand Just Dance is actually somewhat related to dance and it's pretty steady with the cals, although…

Amen! Carob is like the beggar outside the gate of the chocolate king's castle! Honestly there is no substitute. I save up and buy expensive chocolate - the dark raw stuff with only 4 ingredients. It's delicious, I can't overdose because of the $6/bar price and it's not bad for me.

Thank you jester, cmeirun, aly and nunu! Maybe I had a wrong idea of the term skinny fat :/ all I know is I want a lower body fat percentage but not a lower weight. I did use that calculator and it says my TDEE with NEAT (thanks for that definition, cmeirun) is 1648. That's huge! 348 extra calories just by sitting around…
