I'm losing fat but staying the same weight, and I don't even lift. I'm just dieting. What the fuck is happening?
My measurements are getting lower, so I know my body composition is changing. But my weight is at a standstill.
I do IF 20/4 and eat 1500 calories a day. 5'6 @ 165 pounds. Thinking about going down to 1200 a day.

>and I don't even lift
get out.
Do you weigh yourself at the same time every time you weigh yourself? Weigh yourself in the mornings before you eat anything and after taking a shit, then report back.

who shits every day!?

I just started IF a week and a half ago. Weighed myself then and then yesterday.

This is /fit/, not /lift/. Dieting is fitness-related as much as lifting is.

Only weighed myself twice with a week in-between.
I am eating under my TDEE, so I /have/ to be losing weight, right? That's the thing everyone says, your body doesn't defy the laws of thermodynamics, eat less than your body needs and you lose weight. I have been on the border of obsessive about counting calories so I know I'm not miscounting.

I shit every morning and every night. Isn't that normal?

>I am eating under my TDEE
apparently not
but don't go lower, you dumb fuck. add exercise instead and make your diet healthier with lots of fiber, etc.

Go look up my TDEE. It's around 2000.
I know for a fact I'm not eating a third more calories than I think I am, daily.

it doesn't matter what the calculator says. your metabolism is slower, your body is used to starvation.
you could actually start slowly adding calories and exercise and losing weight, fast.
