    21 F , needs help with protein intake and workout

    @lwr70 Yeah, my doctor recommended I cut back on dairy. Skipping breakfast really takes a toll on my energy levels, I've noticed. I'm not intentionally skipping meals, though. As I mentioned, I usually only eat twice a day, so I end up around 1300 calories. My TDEE is around 1400 calories since...

    21 F , needs help with protein intake and workout

    @amberdawn007 I've got a bit of belly fat (mostly in the lower abdomen) and some fat spread across my body, mostly due to my medical condition. Right now, though, loosing fat isn't my main focus. I'm focused on making healthier choices to feel good and energetic, which indirectly addresses it...

    21 F , needs help with protein intake and workout

    @amberdawn007 Nah, I'm not doing it on purpose. I usually just have two meals a day, barely hitting 1300 calories, maybe up to 1500 at most. My TDEE is around 1400 calories since I hardly ever work out and I'm naturally petite because of my genes ;(

    21 F , needs help with protein intake and workout

    @lwr70 Hey, no eggs for me, and I'm not planning to start eating them. I avoid dairy because of PCOS—it's what most dietitians recommend these days. I'm seriously considering joining a gym because getting strong at home is tough, like you said. Some people say yoga and Pilates might help, but...

    21 F , needs help with protein intake and workout

    @grandma2 So, what should I do now? My weight is already pretty low, and I want to maintain it. But my arms look really flabby from all this fat buildup. Not sure if it's because of my height. Also, dealing with a bit of fat around my lower abdomen and sides.

    @grandma2 I'm hardly working out these days. Dn you think the total calories would be too much then? My TDEE is only around 1400 calories.

    @grandma2 Hey, nope, I'm not lactose intolerant. I've mostly cut back on dairy because of PCOS, though I still enjoy curd and paneer occasionally. Soy's okay in moderation as advised. So yeah, getting enough protein is a real struggle, especially since I'm a vegetarian. I'm on the hunt for a...

    @rich4u2 Oh, my hair's been falling out(like they grow lengthwise, but there's no new hair growth from the scalp itself) because of a lack of vitamin D, and I was supposed to take vitamin D3 tablets for it. But I stopped because I noticed they were making me gain weight.

    21 F , needs help with protein intake and workout

    @rich4u2 Hey, no, I haven't indulged in either of those activities. Lately, I just haven't felt like eating, which has caused me to lose weight over the past few months. Back in 2020, I was at my heaviest at 56 kg. Then, I dropped to 47 kg, gained back to 50 kg, and unintentionally lost weight...

    @bukola Hey, thanks a bunch for the advice! I'm definitely going to stick to cutting down on dairy for now. I've been hearing about Cosmix protein powder, but the reviews on Reddit are all over the place—some say it tastes chalky and doesn't really do much for health improvements, so I'm feeling...

    @gingerine Hey, thanks a bunch for taking the time to respond to all my questions! I'll start with a health checkup and then focus on boosting my strength with a clean bulk. As for protein, I'm considering plant-based protein powder or adding some soy in mod, since I'm avoiding dairy rn. Since...
