@bpf53 Yep definitely need to eat more protein. Eat high protein and do some strength training and you'll be able to build some muscles that will help with the skinny fat

@corgigal If you're in a plateau and its lasting (one time I thought I was for like a month but was a mix of alcohol and a super heavy period bloat) then you're not in a calorie deficit. If you're tracking food and still not seeing results, might be time for a food scale. I don't weigh out...

@bpf53 Not sure what calculator you are using. I put your stats in at lightly active and you have a TDEE of almost 1800. But if you're going to the gym every day you might be closer to 2000 for your TDEE. You need protein to grow muscles. If you are in a calorie deficit and not eating enough...

@aftergodsheart You also gotta look at long term trends. Yes when I first wake up after I pee completely naked in my bathroom is my lowest weight. That number has been going down. If I weigh myself in the middle of the day, that number is going to be higher than my morning weight. But my...

@marks1mpson Anything could happen in one week. Sometimes I feel like the weather affects my day to day weight. If I ever feel like I'm really stuck I compare month to month weight and that usually is more interesting.

@singbassman Unfortunately with petite people it's a lot of trial and error. You just gotta track your weight, energy and mood levels and see what is working best for you. You might need to eat more to see how that feels. Keep in mind that women on average can only gain 6-12lbs of muscle in a...

@byways4life This subreddit really helped me move away from weight based goals and more towards functional goals. (Like I want to be able to do blank) It definitely has brought more positive energy into my life to stop looking at work outs as "ugh I ate so much pasta I need to burn it off" and...
