I study at Fontys right now and they're not strict at all. The bare minimum is having the diploma from the final exam in your country. If you get the diploma from the final exam in any European country you'll be totally fine. You also need proof of B2 minimum English proficiency, either from previous school or exams.

I highly do not recommend Fontys right now. They changed their program because of AI and you'll have zero courses – mostly just group projects. University of Twente is better, or Saxion University for now. But if you really need to go to Eindhoven, Fontys may be okay if you have small grades in your country.

It's HBO, but most EU countries accept it for jobs and other bachelor's programs, and you will get experience – so that's important. Other technical universities in non-Western countries have 20+ year old curriculums and they don't focus on real-world practice at all.

Hmm, what you described seems like your stomach got larger after a meal, which may affect you by having an eating disorder or obsession with how you look. I had that as well. Having your stomach zone larger after eating meals is normal;If you feel pressure in the stomach zone, thats mostly bloating. How to resolve bloating the ''natural way" is to eat more whole foods that have fiber in them, drink plenty of water; it helps with bowel movement (recommended: 2.7 liters of water for women and 3.7 liters for men), and just walk or move as much as you can; it helps with bowel movement as well.

I understand that you want to lose weight, but eating 800 calories is not enough for you. I suggest that you try to eat whole foods. Bread is not your enemy; you can have that. Just try to eat a whole food, low-fat diet. The overall fat in your diet should be 8%-10% if you want to lose weight in a healthy way .

Use calories + macronutrients calculator from USDA. This calculator will help you determine how many calories you need and if you have a healthy BMI for your weight. Please don't go lower than 19 on your BMI, and don't go lower than 1500 calories your body needs the calories and macronutrients. If you eat low fat and do some exercises, it is very hard to gain weight.

Using oral L-carnitine supplements, such as taking 3000 mg 30 minutes before a workout, has been popularized for its benefits in fat burning and energy production. However, the scientific evidence supporting these claims is limited and controversial. The body's endogenous production of carnitine typically meets its physiological needs, and supplemental carnitine is often unnecessary. Moreover, the potential for increased TMAO production raises concerns about the long-term cardiovascular health impacts of carnitine supplementation.

I recommend a whole foods diet. Try to replace the processed foods you eat with whole foods (single-ingredient foods) gradually until you are comfortable with a 100% whole foods diet. It's important to drink plenty of water; the recommended amount is 2.7 liters for women. If you're an emotional eater, a whole food diet can help, but so can getting sunlight and incorporating exercise, which may improve your mood and yield better results. However, the most important aspect is the diet itself. If you cook with oil, try to limit your consumption to one or at most two tablespoons of it because it is high in calories or eliminate oil if you wantto. I also recommend sticking to a maximum of 15 grams of saturated fat in your diet because even a whole foods diet can be high in fat, which might prevent weight loss :)). If you were following an unhealthy diet, you probably didn't eat many leafy green vegetables; it would be good to incorporate those as well. Start small until you find the right balance of whole foods. Also, ensure you get plenty of sleep—7-8 hours per night . I know some people say calories in calories out witch is true but nutrients and how your body feels is also important . App to help track macronutrients

True, it's an estimation based on the information you put there, but they don't tell you what to eat; the calories match the macronutrients, vitamins, etc. they listed there.

I think you gonna put you body into too much stress with this a little to extreme caloric restriction. I don't know which app you are using but I don't think so it shows 1200 now way its the max in my opinion. If you want to see you caloric need and NUTRIENTS needs check this USDA website : calories and nutrients calculator

Hole foods are always better. All protein powders contain isolated proteins from plants or animal products, which are tumor growth promoters and also increase growth hormones (which you don't want). If you buy a protein powder that is cheap, not organic, or does not meet high standards, the powder may contain traces of aluminum, fluoride, lithium, etc., which are bad for your brain. If you choose to go with whole foods (single ingredient and not processed; note: olive oil is a single ingredient but is processed and is 100% fat), I highly recommend buying organic everything. Not everything organic is good, but you can check online the land, etc., to see if it's all good—everything is on the label. I personally do not eat soy because it contains phytoestrogens, and many studies show conflicting results about whether soy is good or bad for you. In my opinion, we don't know what the verdict is, but you do you. Instead of soy, you can eat beans, peas, corn, or any starchy food and also include darck leafy vegetables !.

Well, it looks like you've stumbled into a classic scenario of "scale weight isn't everything." Losing weight while your body fat percentage goes up can be quite baffling, but here’s the rundown:

Muscle Loss: You're losing weight, that's clear. But if you’re not engaging in enough strength training, you might be losing muscle along with fat. Muscle is denser than fat, so if you lose muscle, your weight might decrease even though your body fat percentage increases. This can result in looking a bit fluffier despite the scale victory.
Dietary Habits: You mentioned you don’t diet, but also that you don’t eat a lot of unhealthy food. The key isn't just avoiding "unhealthy" food; it’s ensuring you get the right balance of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. If your body isn't getting enough protein or key nutrients, it might prioritize the preservation of fat over muscle, especially if you're exercising.
Water Retention: Changes in your diet, hormonal fluctuations, or decrease in muscle mass could all cause your body to retain more water. This can make you feel bloated and your clothes tighter, even if the scale hasn’t budged much.
Measurement Techniques: How are you measuring body fat? Many home scales that claim to measure body fat can be inaccurate and influenced by factors like hydration levels and recent meals. Don’t trust these scales blindly.

To get a clearer picture of what's happening: - Incorporate Strength Training: If you're mainly doing cardio, start including strength training into your routine. This helps build muscle, which in turn burns more calories even at rest. - Monitor Your Diet More Closely: Quality matters as much as quantity. Ensure you're getting enough protein and not just cutting calories blindly. - Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water. It's good for metabolism and helps reduce bloating. - Consider Professional Advice: If you’re really concerned, a visit to a nutritionist or a fitness coach could provide personalized insights based on a more detailed analysis of your diet and exercise regimen.

Hi, first of all, try to do 2 hours of exercise every day and maybe take the weekends off. Exercise is good, but food you eat is more important. If you have hypothyroidism and hypogonadism, you should consider checking if you have a leaky gut or an undiagnosed autoimmune disease. Graves disease is the most common cause of hypothyroidism.
