While I do believe people can fall under the categories of body type, I don't believe we need to eat differently for each. Case for me is even at my smallest(in adulthood) I was about a 31" waist. My bones essentially stopped me from going smaller, but I'm not tall, I'm 5'10. Other individuals that are 5'10 can easily get…

fair enough.

Ya sorry 12% is pretty radical, though I was more just trying to relate my later statement about the fact that at 140@12% you'd be 125lbs lean and how much protein that would require...I agree for women a higher % is completely normal...even for men 12% is athlete level.

If your trainer told you to eat 160g of protein when your goal weight is 140, then you need to tell him/her to go to a nutrition class. For athletes it's 0.7-1.0g/lb of LEAN bodyweight. If your goal is 140 pounds @ maybe 12%bf, that means around 120-125g/lb at the MAX. For normal individuals it's closer to 0.5-0.8/lb of…

Actually the issue here is that MFP is highly inaccurate for exercise. With food you can be almost 100% sure what macros you are getting with what you eat, but not for work outs. You could eat back all these fake calories and never lose weight. I do agree with seeing what your results are and adjusting, but the calories…

I'd suggest upping the protein % if you are looking to build muscle. Now retaining it still might make you want to up the percent too. It's really hard to say though. There are quite a few vegan bodybuilders or strength trainers and they probably only get around 80g of protein in their diets without supplements max. The…

I understand the frustration but it's almost impossible to tell. I usually track using the MFP number, however if I do 60 minutes on a machine i edit the number to be half what it tells me anyhow. Each person is different, i don't know how the MFP app calculates the burnt calories. At least at the gym you can enter your…

I'd say go with about 1/2 what any of them say if you are planning on eating those calories back. If not, then it really doesn't matter anyhow.

500g 2-4% Greek Yogurt + 140g of mixed berries or other fruit...I'm assuming by vegetarian you didn't mind yogurt. 400-450 calories and will keep you full for a long *kitten* time. As long as you have a fridge to keep it cool.

How much sleep are you getting? Is it mental fatigue or physical? I only get about 5 hours sleep so I usually get mentally fatigued around 5pm so I have a 20-30 nap and I'm back to normal. My body is not what is tired in my case.

Certainly

sorry you won't look fat, that's stupid...anyone at 115 and 5'3 isn't going to look fat, but you won't look toned as you might expect. Sorry...

If your BMR is 1700, and you exercise daily, then you should be eating 1700 and count your exercise as your deficit. Even then, it's not a great way to do it. You have to understand that eating below your BMR while only having 16lbs to go, your body will start eating your muscle(I'm sure it already has) to sustain itself.…

I keep it around my belly and chest/back unfortunately. I'd say my legs and arms are a good 10% less bf than my torso, it's great. I wish it was more even all over, but that's the genetic lottery.

Feel free to add me as well, and anyone else. I try to stay active and provide help/motivation

Respect that donkey

No formulae is perfect for everyone, but MFP also tells you how much to eat depending on how much weight you want to lose per week. What you could do is take your goal weight, * by 12 and 14 and that would be closer to your calories per day that you'd need, again on the hi-end first. This way you should still lose weight.…

Just keep with it, make sure you are drinking enough fluid, it will pass.
