Yogurt with fruit on the bottom.. without the fruit?
Hi everyone. I really enjoy yogurt but sometimes I'll pick up the kind with fruit on the bottom and 0% fat when I'm in a rush. I know a lot of the sugar comes from the fruit on the bottom, so I was wondering how many calories the yogurt would be without the fruit? It's 120 I believe with everything included. I was planning…

Quick question about TDEE deficit %
Hi all, just a quick question I was hoping I could get some guidance on. I am beginning the TDEE method today, and I'm unsure of whether to cut at -20%, -15%, or -10%. 19, Female 5' 3" 105lbs Small-framed and "apple" shaped I do not have a lot of fat to cut because of my size, but my bf% estimation is somewhere around 24%,…

I think I may have messed up..
I've been working out consistently now for 5 weeks. For the past 4 weeks I was doing 30 minutes of cardio 5 days a week and alternating days of upper/lower body weight training 6 days a week. This past week I have only been doing cardio twice a week for 50 minutes/session. I have also been trying to eat more. These two…

On having a "boyish" shape;
Some of us ladies just aren't lucky enough to have lovely curves! Myself included. I never developed hips and my body is quite boyish. My fat is distributed into my thighs and tummy rather than hips or chest. Any other girls with small frames like this? How do you stay positive with all the images in our media currently of…

Bloating!
It happens to me after I eat anything and for the rest of the day and night, I have this *big* pouch from bloating. It gets even worse when I'm PMS-ing, during which my entire body (legs, face, *kitten*) will feel huge. My frame is small so it looks pretty out of place. Included in the link below is a photo of myself. It's…

Buccal fat removal?
Does anyone here have any experience with the cosmetic procedure of buccal fat removal? I am considering it and I just figured I'd ask! EDIT: Here are some photos for reference. http://imgur.com/a/HxdX3#0 As you can see I have a very, uh, distinctly-shaped face. Nothing that makeup will hide. I am generally fine with the…

Receiving mixed signals.
People tell me that, in order to gain muscle mass, I should not be eating at a deficit. People tell me that, in order to obtain a flat stomach and lose body fat in general, I need to eat at a deficit. I am attempting to accomplish both of these things with my diet/exercise regimen. I am eating at a deficit currently…

How many calories should I be eating if...?
I am 5' 3", about 104 pounds (I was 102 before I began working out, so I believe this gain is due to muscle being heavier than fat). So I am quite small to begin with. My question is how many calories should I be eating if I am working out 6 days a week, for roughly an hour each day. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I do Zumba,…

New to the gym and gaining weight
Hi everyone. First time forum poster here. Upon transferring to my new school last month, I decided to take initiative and begin working out. Now, I am naturally small. I never exercised routinely (though I spend a lot of time walking ad riding my bike when the weather is warm), never did sports, never really dieted. I am…
