@cry030405 i actually do incorporate fasting at a 16:8 schedule. been doing it for the 4 weeks as i havnt done a full day of fasting, not sure i could do that yet.

@pollyjetix this is all great advice. thank you - i learned a lot from everyone’s input!

@dawn16 hello! my current TDEE is based on sedentary activity. i weight train lightly 4-5 times weekly about 3 weeks per month lol. i still consider myself having lots of sedentary time. i think i get enough protein (0.6 to 0.8 per kg), roughly 90 - 115 g daily. my source has been naked whey...

@james6771 thank you. i appreciate your response. yes, when i did my TDEE, i always put sedentary. bc i’m new to working out again lol on/off and i mostly sit all day sigh, being petite and patient both are hard. i guess i’ll give it another 3-4 weeks at 1500, and cont to weigh foods, weigh...

@williamis thank you for your reply. i think i’ll focus on 1250 calories per day with macro split Moderate Carb (30/35/35), and try for 6 weeks and re-evaluate. i’ll keep up moderate intensity workouts. i probably will lose some muscle but it’s okay bc im super eager to get rid of the fat first.

@williamis ahhh great point. i think i’m leaning towards reducing calories further. i’ll start with 1200. when i eventually lose 10-15 lbs, to avoid a plateau, do i have to further reduce calories by 200-300?
