Skinny fat to fit? Is recomp real?

[Anonymous]

Considered skinny-fat?

I am trying to lean out and gain muscle at the same time. I know that you can’t gain muscle and lose fat at the same time, or so they say. Is recomp real? Am I good candidate for it? Should I be cutting, bulking or eating at almost maintenance? I do 1 hitt workout a week and lift 3-4 days a week with a couple CrossFit’s in between. Currently weight at 110, eating at 1400 and taking 125-140 grams of protein.

I'd begin eating at maintenance and focus on building. For when you get lean later you will not just look skinny.

I also want to add that looking at this photo you already have a decently low body fat ratio and there really isn't much more to lose if you don't want to look skinny.

I think you look great already honestly but if you want to improve then I'd focus on building first. Also please do some upper body exercises too. You won't become like a guy but it will give you better proportions. Just training legs and stomach that many girls do is just boring. You can enhance more than just legs, butt and stomach.

You can gain muscle and loose fat at the same time. You are probably a beginner so you shouldn't bulk. Bulking is really ownly for fit people who want to get bigger. All you have to do is burn more calories than you take in and eat lots of protein.

You should also definitely do lots of legs because that burns more calories and makes it easier to build other muscles. Make sure you are doing mostly compound movements and you should be fine. Be careful with crossfit because lots of people get injured doing it.

Should I continue to be a small deficit?

[nathanp97]

Ya, you can slowly decrease it more over time, but I wouldn't do anything extreme right away.

"I know that you can’t gain muscle and lose fat at the same time,"
Absolute nonsense if what you want is toning and you aren't some huge body builder that needs to bulk again to get even bigger. Work out enough and make sure you get enough protein.

You look really good! And it's definitely possible to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time.
I'm not sure what recomp means but just keep doing what you're doing!

You don't need to show us yourself barely naked to ask this question... i prefer that you wear a bra 1st and put something on you downthere, unless you wanna be cheap.

By the way you body is good as it is now

[Asker]

Omg it’s no worse then a swimsuit! I’m wearing a sports bra and fully covered underwear. Sorry.

[TonyMetal86]

Miss you ain't on a beach and these are no swimsuits, these are underwears, your nipples are seen below the top and for your undies, your pus*y can be seen underneath, such parts are only for your man or future husband to be seen by...

Your body is precious, don't make it cheap, but it's your decision after all.

[Asker]

I said no worse then a swimsuit.. jeez uptight much. Face is hidden, nipples a bit shown on a very flat chest (hardly sexual) no boobage, and no cleavedge to speak of. You have nipples too, what’s the big deal about them. And my pussy is not shown, the shape maybe and we all know what one looks like and no skin is shown beneath. big deal.

[TonyMetal86]

Flat chest or big chest, your a WOMAN, your boobs are a sexual part, mine are different, i'm a man not a woman...

Also from below, yes we all know how does a vagina looks but you don't need to show, because it's a sexual part too... it's a big deal because these parts are important and sexual and are reserved for the one you love only...

I agree with you that your face is hidden, that's a good thing but such things will encourage to make women's bodies look cheap and will boost the presence or weird perverts on this site.

You don't need to argue with me, it's just my opinion and your free, i just wanted to tell you that i care about your body to be precious but if you don't care, you appear naked too... your free!

Have a nice night or day!

[Asker]

Ok tony. I see you and know who you are. Creative hippy

[TonyMetal86]

You don't know who i am and you haven't seen me, also i'm not a hippy, i'm a real man...

You can still say that i'm someone who have morals and values.

You look good, you're paying attention to what your doing , you're way ahead of most.

[BulletproofNY]

If I were you I’d do yoga and some cardio, you already have a nice hace it’s just matter of toning and losing a bit of far

[thebigc]

You look spectacular, no offense but I think that's a lovely size.

[Sweatyotterr]
