For some reason, people are obsessed with what I eat and weigh and I get a lot of messages that say things like How do you stay so thin?" or How can you eat all that amazing food and stay in shape?" It's not really something that I'm all that concerned about and not something I pay all that much attention to. And as much as I'd like to, I don't start the day gorging on platters of croissants, then spend the rest of day wolfing down cakes, pastries, and chocolates. And most importantly, gaining muscle and losing fat can sometimes make the number on the scale go up, but this doesn't mean you aren't getting healthier, looking leaner or achieving great results. Taking progress photos, using a tape measure or tracking your body fat percentage might be better suited to show you exactly how well you are doing.
Your body requires a certain number of calories for survival, also known as your basal metabolic rate (BMR). This is the least amount of calories you would need to consume to keep functioning properly, and does not take into consideration any physical movement or exercise.
