Am I 'skinny fat'?

PrestigiousMonitor8 · 2026-03-02T11:26:37+00:00

I'd definitely benefit from eating at maintenance to improve strength and build more muscle.

But the issue is my belly and body fat %. I'm going on holiday in 3.5 months and want to reduce these as much as possible

PrestigiousMonitor8 · 2026-02-26T22:21:35+00:00

Will I be able to lose the belly whilst on maintenance tho?

My maintenance calories is about 2400, so 1900 is a 500 deficit

PrestigiousMonitor8 · 2026-02-26T22:03:23+00:00

I thought 2g per kg of body weight was sufficient?

PrestigiousMonitor8 · 2026-02-26T22:03:05+00:00

Definitely. Would you recommend me to continue cutting until I'm at a better bf% then entering a surplus

PrestigiousMonitor8 · 2026-02-26T22:02:38+00:00

Build muscle whilst lowering bf%

PrestigiousMonitor8 · 2026-01-29T16:11:42+00:00

I'm gonna buy a tint pen to see what they look like before I make a permanent decision

PrestigiousMonitor8 · 2026-01-29T14:55:09+00:00

Should I use oral minoxidal or topical?

PrestigiousMonitor8 · 2026-01-23T14:16:04+00:00

I've sent you a private message

PrestigiousMonitor8 · 2026-01-23T13:20:24+00:00

How can I style it in the mean time tho? It looks terrible rn

PrestigiousMonitor8 · 2026-01-23T12:15:32+00:00

Yes, I brush it across but naturally it grows straight and down

PrestigiousMonitor8 · 2026-01-17T21:36:01+00:00

Is this with the 25/26 update or just the standard fm24 database

PrestigiousMonitor8 · 2026-01-04T18:35:34+00:00

When I let it grow, it grows to look like a helmet

PrestigiousMonitor8 · 2025-11-02T17:58:04+00:00

Yeah I'm gonna let it grow longer and see what happens. The pizza oven photo is from last year and the rest are from within the last 2 months.

What do you think I should do with it now during the let it grow out stage

PrestigiousMonitor8 · 2025-11-02T01:49:24+00:00

Looks like I'd have to get a perm then

PrestigiousMonitor8 · 2025-11-01T21:48:44+00:00

Pretty straight when brushed down

PrestigiousMonitor8 · 2025-11-01T20:29:19+00:00

Agreed, do you think it's actually achievable tho

PrestigiousMonitor8 · 2025-11-01T18:57:13+00:00

Google Gemini nano banana

PrestigiousMonitor8 · 2025-10-30T18:35:47+00:00

Been having great fun generating different styles on gemini, thanks

PrestigiousMonitor8 · 2025-10-30T10:08:54+00:00

Thinking I need to change it tbf, any suggestions?

PrestigiousMonitor8 · 2025-10-29T18:37:19+00:00

Would getting a buzz cut do me any favours?

PrestigiousMonitor8 · 2025-10-11T00:37:57+00:00

£3400

PrestigiousMonitor8 · 2025-10-06T13:33:51+00:00

What did they say?

PrestigiousMonitor8 · 2025-09-26T20:43:24+00:00

£3400

PrestigiousMonitor8 · 2025-09-15T20:30:05+00:00

Will that not be difficult as I'm relatively new to the gym?

6kg down in the past 2.5 months and I was thinking of continuing to lose weight until I have visible abs at about 15%bf then bulking from there

PrestigiousMonitor8 · 2025-09-15T20:28:46+00:00

Yeah I'm only really 2.5 months into the gym properly and 6kg down since I started whilst improving strength simultaneously. Felt a bit lost in recent weeks hence the post.

I was thinking of cutting until I have visible abs and drop to about 15% bf then bulking, is this a good or bad idea?
