Can you get lean on maintenance calories?
I was wondering if it's possible to get leaner (i.e. losing inches/pant sizes) without eating at a deficit?

After using MFP for 3-4 weeks, I've tweaked the system for myself in a way that works for me (1350 calories a day, eating back exercise calories, usually exercising 300-900 cals off a day, am down 8+ pounds and 3% body fat) based on my…

Hi everyone! I am looking to lose body fat % and inches, less concerned about weight. I am 5'4 and weigh 171 pounds, but my body fat is in the 40-46% range (online calculators to an omron scale) so very scary.
