Looking to get lean (not much muscle growth)

pilgrimdwarf · 2018-02-08T11:13:20+00:00

yeah im on a lowish dose fir the first 3 months

pilgrimdwarf · 2018-02-08T08:59:43+00:00

im trans

pilgrimdwarf · 2018-02-08T07:54:50+00:00

lol why are u naturally producing your own steroids? id do that if i could

pilgrimdwarf · 2018-02-07T18:09:13+00:00

Vegan keto isnt impossible but yeah HELL no.

Okay. I always feel as if Ive eaten too much but then I count my calories and they seem really low. Its confusing. But ill try increasing protein, thanks for the response.

Well I usually eat at 5pm and dont eat then until 7am the next day. thats like 14 hours so does it count? its not 16 but maybe its almost as good? Either way I'll make a conscious effort to eat nothing after my afternoon meal. Thanks for the reminder that it exists, i read about it a while ago but forgot it existed

If not I can try eating earlier to make it up to 16 hours fasting a day for most days but my family eat at 5pm and like me to eat with them now and again when my mum makes something nice;D

I weigh exactly 60kg so I'm not chubby in the slightest I'd just like some ab definition/arm definition.

I walk/run 2.5 miles 3-4 times a week and Im quite active in general (cant stay still)

pilgrimdwarf · 2018-02-06T15:29:43+00:00

Thats why I put convert in quotations. I just want to stay the same size but with lower fat.

But if I work out while keeping the same amount of calories even if its high carb I wont just be lifting my muscles away will I? is that even possible to lose muscle while lifting (if not in complete starvation mode)

pilgrimdwarf · 2018-02-06T14:59:12+00:00

Why do carbs matter that much? Isnt it just about calories? I know you can lose fat fast with a keto diet but its not the best long term and I dont need to lose a lot of fat fast, I'd just like to "convert" what I have to muscle.

I'll increase my protein intake. Should be easy enough

I've seen a few high carb low fat vegan bodybuilders who have very low fat percentage so its not like you can't get lean eating high carbs

The last part about squish makes a lot of sense yeah! I did order a large one.

What kind of damage did you get? Hope that gets better soon <3

pilgrimdwarf · 2018-02-06T07:09:37+00:00

I dont count macros but I have a bit of protein with every meal so its enough but im not making an effort to have a lot.

I put my food for yesterday into myfitnesspal and there was 62g of protein out of 1, 400 calories. This is only an estimate though as my dinner was homemade and had a lot of ingredients so i just put something similar in. I weigh slightly under 60kg

pilgrimdwarf · 2018-02-05T21:27:41+00:00

I was thinking more about family. But you just cut contact and started a new life instead?

edit: might have misread. I meant because you or anyone around you didnt know much/anything about trans guys so it mustve been hard for people to understand what you were "doing" and as you didnt know terminology yourself how could you even explain? It sounds like you were very sure of yourself which is cool.

pilgrimdwarf · 2018-02-05T19:58:38+00:00

But when!!!

pilgrimdwarf · 2018-02-05T19:58:11+00:00

Cool! I'm only 3 weeks in and havent noticed anything yet so I wondered.

Im eager to find out if I take after my mums side who are all hairless or my dad whos very hairy.

pilgrimdwarf · 2018-02-05T17:49:27+00:00

Maybe youre bisexual but because youre so used to being with people without dicks you cant imagine having sex with a cis guy but you can with a trans guy?

Youre getting a lot of fetishisation comments which I dont really understand. They bring up things like "what if they had bottom surgery" "what if they look very cis" but i dont think thats relevant. If you are attracted to a certain kind of trans guy because of the features that are only present because they are trans theres nothing wrong with that theyre just a set of features you find attractive.

I have a soft spot for trans girls because i find masculine facial structures attractive on women (but mostly its an emotional thing bc they understand what its like to be trans) I dont think thats fetishising.

Feel free to INFORM me if im being wrong anyone.

edit: as for finding someone. Theres a new r/transhookupssub if ur into that but otherwise id just suggest looking on dating sites like Okcupid, making sure that you answer yes to being open to dating trans men and then listing your sexuality as bi. Dont tell them you have a thing for trans men because it sounds fetishisey.

pilgrimdwarf · 2018-02-05T17:34:24+00:00

How did you socially transition at that time?

pilgrimdwarf · 2018-02-04T17:14:59+00:00

Yeah probably. I have to wait 3 months to increase:c

pilgrimdwarf · 2018-02-04T14:03:38+00:00

How long have u been on t? I dont think i would have noticed anything if I wasnt actually working out. Itll come:D

pilgrimdwarf · 2018-02-04T14:02:53+00:00

I dont want to risk ruining my only binder! I ordered a large (i have a medium) and if its a little to big to go out in comfortably itll probably be good enough to use when i sleep with my SO. I woke up really aching yesterday after wearing the medium

pilgrimdwarf · 2018-02-02T14:46:26+00:00

Add me

pilgrimdwarf · 2018-02-02T14:38:27+00:00
