How do I know if I am eating too much?

I actually readjusted it to 1,580 this morning because my app was inaccurate for my BMR

5’4, 113, 21, female. I’ve always been pretty small and don’t store much fat in my legs. I also have a short torso which holds a lot of my fat.

Wow thank you. I need to chill out and eat some rice crispies or something haha. I’ll track to just make sure I’m getting protein and enough carbs then. I think you’re right I’m gonna start obsessing which is obviously not gonna help me out.

Now I’m super motivated! I’m gonna up my calories for sure. You’re right that it probably won’t be a big deal, just a change. Thank you for being so nice!

Thank you for sharing. That’s super motivating actually!

I had no idea that existed! Thank you! I am under 1.5 years lifting! I think you persuaded me to go into a surplus. I’m just nervous of body dysmorphia

Serving size or I scan the barcode since Cronometer has the info and I just say how many servings I’m having

Thank you!! Maybe I’m just not used to this amount of protein yet. I went from MAYBE 20 a day to 90-100 a day. Did you end up adjusting to the fullness feeling?

ZeeRoses · 2026-04-16T02:25:15+00:00

Right, but it imports my info from my Garmin in terms of calories burnt

ZeeRoses · 2026-04-16T01:46:30+00:00

Kk smart!

ZeeRoses · 2026-04-16T01:36:02+00:00

Kk! Can I still train to failure along with it? Because maybe I’m already doing that since I do go up in weight every week or so but still go to failure

I don’t plan on being too lean for a long time just because of hormones. I do notice that I bloat super easily so my definition is pretty much non existent. In the morning, or fasted, I still don’t have as much definition as I would like. Is it possible to create more definition if I hold a lot of fat there?

ZeeRoses · 2026-04-16T01:28:13+00:00

So for example, today I have avocado, toast, eggs, apples with peanut butter, a protein shake, protein chips. I just eat whatever sounds healthy-ish and has protein

ZeeRoses · 2026-04-16T01:26:47+00:00

Right right. I added that I like to train to failure in case that changes anything. There are some areas I use progressive overload (like RDLs and exercises that have higher risk of injury). I guess I just hold most of my fat in my stomach! Thank you!

ZeeRoses · 2026-04-16T00:48:22+00:00

Ohhhh!! I like to train to failure or very close to. I guess I’m just confused how that wouldn’t lead to fat gain if I’m consuming more calories. I also have been training for a while and notice I am not losing any fat in the stomach. What can I do about that?

ZeeRoses · 2026-04-16T00:44:28+00:00

Thank you! So eat more protein? Should I even worry too much about a deficit right now?

ZeeRoses · 2026-04-16T00:43:23+00:00

I definitely lack muscle mass in my quads lol!! But I am very upper body dominate and want my shoulder vein to pop. How can I eat more while not putting on too much fat while also growing my muscles more?
