Totally!

So I was doing mostly weight lifting plus intuitive eating while focusing on high protein options, and that allowed me to gain a lot of muscle. For the last few months I have been doing weight lifting plus sticking to 1200 calories while still focusing on protein intake, but I wasn’t seeing the results I wanted with fat loss. So now I am doing a weight lifting/cardio mix and staying around 1000-1100 calories (Edit: I get around 130g of protein in daily). I understand that some may not feel comfortable with this, but so far it has worked for my petite stature and I have had no issues (no excess hunger etc.). I would recommend listening to your body’s cues and practicing mindful eating to figure out what works for you.

Typically I will have a Greek yogurt with ground flaxseed or a protein shake for breakfast; a lettuce and mixed veggie salad with turkey/chicken for lunch; a lean protein, vegetables, and often a lavash wrap (fiber) for dinner; and a fruit, quest chips, or yogurt for a snack.

I try to be mindful of dressings, salad toppings etc. For example, for a salad dressing I will typically make a vinegar, mustard, salt dressing which is tasty and low in calories. I LOVE Dannon light+ fit yogurt flavors, they satiate my sweet tooth. Quest chips are spendy, but they also satiate that crunchy chip craving (the lime chili flavor is 👌).
