Well this is interesting. 10% body fat for a guy qualifies for being a fitness trainer or someone who is interested in fitness, or in other words it is not the norm.



For a woman, expecially one who is younger, 23% body fat is desirable, if you go below that, and stay that, you will have trouble conceiving when you are ready to have children.



The most common sense thing said here is about developing a lifestyle. They talk about the freshman fifteen in general, and that's because of the amount of carbohydrate dense, almost fiberless, and low on nutrients food that is available.



My suggestion is this, do not eat white food, and stop counting calories.



The new 72% Cacao chocolate bars are actually healthy for you, but that means one or two squares a day, not the whole bar.



And as for exercise, walking 30 mins a day will keep your metabolism running and so wil six small meals.



When you cheat on the weekend be aware that an increase of 3500 calories and you know how that works, fries are like 600 I think, will either keep you from losing a pound or you could gain a pound, and then have it back off by the following weekend, which is probably what you are experiencing.



The difference in your energy if you stay away from white foods, will be amazing and are you drinking half your body weight in ounces of water each day?



That's my best advice.
