Hi Sunni, You should probably find out what your daily calorie intake would be to just maintain your current body weight. Then simply start of slowly by subtracking a small amount of calories per day from your maintain level. No more than, probably around 100 or so, and the slowly increase to around 300 max.

Drink plenty of water and stay away from diet soda's.. eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, with lean white meat, chicken. tuna or turkey are ideal. as the previous poster said.. break you meals into 6 small means per day..

Regarding muscle fat ratio.. if you took 1 lb of muscle and 1 lb of fat and put them beside each other, the fat would occupy 2/3 the space of the muscle or look 2/3 larger than the muscle...although they both weight the same.

In essence if you took two women, same height, weight and bone structure.. only one was 15% BF and the other was 30%BF... the one with 15%BF would look much smaller,
even though they both weight the same...
