Hey bodybuilders,
I am totally lost when it comes to how many calories I need to consume to lose weight, how much protein I should consume to sculpt and all the bits and bobs in between.
Stats about me:
Weight 52kg
Gender: Female
Age: 25
Height: 160cm
Target weight: 47kg
In a day I consume 2 meals, a strong breakfast and a significantly lighter evening meal. In between I could eat something snacky such as a Walkers bag of crisp 25g, a salami stick the length of a high heel and typical bread stick thickness 22.5g and 40g chocolate and some days ice cream Magnum 79g. Somedays it could be 1 of the 3 or 2 of the 3, it's not always a daily full house.
Though I am planning to alter my current breakfast and evening meals to transition to breakfast and lunch instead and for the evening just a fruit or two, how does that sound?
Also the last 2 years honestly I haven't had a proper work out apart from the shopping walks and the recent 5km daily walks within the last month, but only because it's summer now. However I have worked out before and do have muscles underneath my excess weight so I am not a total beginner to exercising.
I saw a youtube video where a woman who followed Chloe Ting's 2 Week Abs program reduced her belly in 2 weeks. How do people do it, surely it's not just exercising alone?!
The whole problem for me to gain excess weight is not solely based on the snacks but rather a combination of the great deal of inactivity and food consumption. I haven't had any fries, or fast food of any kind, no fizzy drinks, no jelly sweets like Harribos for a whole year now, only chocolate in small amounts such as 10 blocks maximum. For example Galaxy bar portrait, a row for the day.
My metabolism is also broken.
So my goals are to lose weight and sculpt at the same time.
Areas I need to lose weight on:
- Belly (high priority)
- Butt
- The area just above the buttocks but below the waist, those bits at the side we find difficult tucking in when getting on our jeans
- The waist itself
- The sticky out bits on the outer thighs below the buttocks.
Areas I want to sculpt (please see attachments below):

Side note: The purpose of the attachments is to illustrate the results I want to gain and to what extent so I can then maintain it.
- Have a nice toned belly, the toned phase just before the six pack, I want to have 2 vertical lines (see attachments)
- Sculpt a peach like butt (or brazillian however they call it) or lifted butt
- Toned thighs (inner, outter, and sides)
- Toned legs but not very muscular, just visibly tight
- As a bonus second priority, tone my arms to get rid of the floppy part
My timeframe goal for achieving the above is June/July 2021.
I can't afford dieting combos due to tight budget as well as lack of time. However I have read that protein shakes (with whey scoops) can also do the trick as whey protein has many benefits.
I have also heard that calorie in-take can in fact end up working against your favour if you don't manage to burn the required daily calorie amount? (I am not sure if I've remembered it correctly.) I.e it can be just as disadvantageous as it can be advantageous.
So I found this article : https://www.coachmag.co.uk/nutrition/1099/protein-shake-recipes which of them do I need to consume every day (alongside my daily workouts) with protein shakes. Do I consume all of them listed in 1 day OR just the breakfast, pre-workout and recovery protein shakes?
Do you know any other protein shakes?
Workout equipment I already have :
- A workout mat
- 2kg dumbbells
- And will soon have resistance bands (currently researching which ones to get)
So I need help with the following:
- Advice on my daily food intake but without the classic diet as I am relying on the shakes for the time being
- Workout videos (I am happy to workout 7 days a week), or whatever the recommended number of days a week is.
- Protein shakes, how many per day, + whey protein scoops, recipes etc.
- What my daily calorie intake should be and;
- How can I fix my metabolism
Thank you for your time and I am looking forward to your input.
