ok so I am 18 years old, i am 5'4 tall and i weight 109 pounds
ok so i have used the online daily caloric need calculators and all that and it says that my daily caloric need to lose weight is 1800 calories a day... well see i tried doing the whole 1800 calories a day thing, i did lose weight, but i also loss a lot of muscle and it slowed down my metabolism.
just recently i got my metabolism back up to what it used to be, and trust me it took a lot of hard work, i also used to be 105 pounds but now I am 109 since i put on 4 pounds of muscle, however i still have the last remainder of body fat around my stomach.
i run 4 times a week, lift weights 2 times a week and i have a resting day. so i am pretty active I guess. I also only eat healthy, and I enjoy cheat meals now and then so i never feel deprived.
my question is how many calories should I eat to lose body fat? i dont want to mess up my metabolism again, currently its at the fastest its ever been. I also dont want to lose any muscle mass, just body fat. again i have a pretty fast metabolism, and gaining muscle mass really isnt a problem for me, i just want to kill the last remainder of body fat in my stomach.
any tips? should i ditch the whole calorie counting all together and just start eating by portions? I also eat 6 meals a day to keep my metabolism on high gear. and currentlyim eating about 2400-3000 calories a day of healthy food..a and I know I have a fairly quick metabolism because i eat a lot of protein and fiber and I still manager to get hungry every 3 hours, its as if my body just burns everything really quick, specially on the days i run and lift weights.
yes I do realize i am under weight at 109 pounds, so thats why i want to lose only body fat, not weight, if anything i want to gain weight without gaining fat. any tips?
