Why is my butt getting smaller?

[Anonymous]

I have been losing weight but I don't want my butt to get smaller! I did some squats and lunges the other day and my butt seemed to have gotten smaller:(. I want a body like Rihanna. I also have been doing the special k diet. What can I do at the gym to make it bigger. I wasn't fat to begin with I just wanted to tone up. Should I eat more and then workout more.

"sexyasianboi26" imo is spot-on.

You're losing weight, but you want to lose waterweight and bodyfat, NOT MUSCLE.

Protein shakes are absolutely useful. You can get a 2lb canister (~48 scoops @ ~24g protein per scoop) for less than $15. Drink one scoop mixed with water or milk within 30mins of finishing your workout.

To get your protein through food, you probably already know meat and fish are the best source of protein from actual food.

Also, don't forget cow or soy milk (almond milk has almost no protein btw), cottage cheese, yogurt (greek yogurt has double the protein and a richer flavor), canned/dry beans (one of the cheapest and most nutritional foods in the store), legumes, nuts, and cheese.

Any ?'s for me?

Are protein shakes OK for a 16 year old girl? I do t wanna end up like a bulky weight lifter?

[Prof_Don]

You don't have the hormones to get that buff. For you to be that buff you would have to lift 1.5x your bodyweight and eat 300g of protein to gain that mass lol.

So yes, protein shakes are just fine to have.

The amt of protein you need depends on your height and current and target weight.

What is your height and target weight?

[Asker]

Height-5'11 weight-146 target weight-130

This imo is the most reliable caloric intake calculator (thanks to my university dietician).

Use rarely for your activity level, and use your target weight and your current height...and use that as your guide for caloric intake.

It's recommended to have protein be, for physically active ppl, at 20-40% of your calories.

Protein is 4 calories per gram.

So for 30% protein calories, the formula for the amount of grams is: (calorie intake) * 0.3 / 4

Then you should do a**hole work outs. or butt workouts and eat a lot. you'll still stay skinny.

[Asker]

Mkay thx and any workout suggestions? To do at home and the gym?

[arashmenalagha]

I do this and my a**hole looks great! link You can also lean on something if you don't want to hold yourself up.

[arashmenalagha]

I would reccomend doing them at the gym because you'll feel like you're getting something done. I can focus better.

[sexyasianboi26]

Your doing the right exercises but your probably not taking enough protein.

[Asker]

I never thought of that. I guess that's true all I eat is cereal for breakfast and lunch and whatever is for dinner. Do you recommend protein shakes?

[sexyasianboi26]

Yes but you gotta be careful and which protein shake. They are very effective, that means if you take too much your butt will take half the size of your body ha ha lol.

[Asker]

Lol we don't want that happening

Well in my opinion you're still young so you really have nothing to worry about. Plus some guys find tall petite or fit girls attractive... like me! Plus you'll fill out a little more when you get older.

[Asker]

Well teenage guys my age don't like that. They only seem to go for shorter girls who are "thick in the butt" or shorter girl period

[Opinion Owner]

Well don't change for them was my point. Trust me you'll find someone who will be attracted to you, you're still young with teenage boys who really don't know what they want, plus guys at that age some aren't even full grown, I was only like 5'4" at that age! I'm now average height for a male. You're still young yet, don't worry yourself about it so much.

[Asker]

Alright I'll try it won't be easy tho but thx

[jayzee]

hahaha.

well the skinnier you go. the butt shrinks

why do you want your butt to grow?

[Asker]

My butt was kinda bigger before and I wanna be a bit more curvy but still being skinny. I ultimately wanna fill out my bikini bottoms more lol.

[jayzee]

but that would show your butt cheeks I mean

its sexy. but you sure you wanna flaunt it

[Asker]

Well it stems from self esteem issues and not having a boyfriend before. And also I'm not super curvy but not like a stick. I'm an athlete but I wanna love my body more I guess

[jayzee]

you never had a boyfriend? lol

most guys assume curvy girls had a lot of guys and a lot of sex rofl

[Asker]

Well teenage guys don't seem to like taller girls:( so I guess having a bigger butt would help. I'm like 16

[jayzee]

oh. lol.

how tall are you?.

would you really like a guy grabbing your ass?

[Asker]

I'm 5'11 and I don't know I guess not:(. But ugh it's hard to feel confident when your taller than guys in your class

[jayzee]

so bigger butt will help?

they would proly invite guys to grab your butt lol

and wait for an year or two. you'll find taller guys

[Asker]

That would be weird I guess and yea I know I need to wait but wen your friends are shorter and have bfs you just feel like something is wrong with you

[jayzee]

well I was a tall kid. but my friends werent. but later they grew so much that they are almost of my height

[Asker]

But see your a guy and tall that's perfect! And mostly all guys go to about 6'0 foot but when your a girl you feel abnormal.

[jayzee]

why? most guys like tall girls. they are always good to accompany and good in bed too.

so you should be proud of yourself

[Asker]

Hahahah I always thought it was the opposite because I thought guys didn't feel manly or watever. I felt like throwing a girl over your shoulder or playing chicken in the pool or picking them up would be easier for guys when a girl is shorter.

[jayzee]

shorter girls are good to cuddle.

ever wondered why p*rnstars wearr tall heels. because they want to be tall. so thatthey ca. be good while having sex.

shorter girls are hard to reach lol

[Asker]

Oh wow lol I guess so but I will try too embrace it it won't be easy tho that's kinda why I stray towards older guys I think too at times

[jayzee]

haha.

well When a tall girl is curvy the curves are more prominent

[Asker]

Really?

[jayzee]

yes and their legs looks gorgeous

[Asker]

Wow I should stop looking so much at the negative side of being tall long legs are a good thing

[jayzee]

yess lol

a tall girls always looks good when she strips

[Asker]

Hahaha lol
