You might be able to gain muscle ans lose fat if you're overweight and maybe less than 30. Its a debate that goes on and on. If you want to lose fat you need to cut. If you want gains you need to look at being in atleast a 10% calorie surpless and lifting heavy, if you continue to be under calories you'll look back over 6…

Seriously. Just get calipers, there're not exactly rocket science to use..... Or of course waste your money on a DEXA scan which is a bit extreme.

Calipers are best, the BF scales are usually about 4% over.

100g boiled lentils - 9g Protein shake - 30g 100g Tofu - 8g 2tsp Spirulina - 8g 15g Chia Seeds - 2.9g Lentil snacks - There is a cheap brand in the UK here and a 22g bag provides around 9g protein 175g Pea pasta - 18.4g Thats approx 81g of protein before adding leafy greens.

I do If for the actual health benefits, not so much the weight loss thing. It actually makes me understand the difference between wanting food and needing it. I do 18:6 or 20:4 regularly but I also do strength training 5x per week and I'd urge you to keep cardiovascular work to 0% while fasting and start a strength program…

I wouldn't bother with cardio. Get yourself on StrongLifts 5x5, maintain your weight and bulk on training days. I only aim to put some weight on so I'm starting at 2400 calories and work from there.

Have you worked out how many calories you need to maintain/lose weight? I'm not sure about your stats but if you eat to fewer calories you will lose muscle and not fat. https://authoritynutrition.com/how-many-calories-per-day/

Looks good but shopping for grazing stuff works out cheaper from Aldi or Lidl

That's a good help. My calorie goal is 1560 and thought about upping my protein without raising my calories too much as dinner for me is always the most important i tend to eat most of my calories then.

I tend to eat around 1000 cals per day which is pretty bad as its too low. I know that if you starv yourself (not eating enough calories fat carbs etc.) you'll find it harder to shift the weight and possibly make you feel crap.
