Dont eat red meats. Chicken helps a lot with diets


No. Even I don't this.

But you're still a healthy weight. You're just a rail, lol.

I would just like to mention that in terms of weight loss, the foods you eat do not matter at all as long as you are at or slightly under your calorie limits. No magic food or supplement is going to "increase" your metabolism*, the only way you can do that is by exercising or increasing your mass (either muscle mass or fat mass). In terms of nutrition though, foods high in fiber and low in sugars are going to make you feel full, getting enough protein is essential for building muscle, and fat is necessary as well. Basically, pay attention to your macros if you care about nutrition.

*I'm using the term metabolism here to mean the amount of calories you burn per day, which according to your TDEE (BMR*1.2) is ~1900 calories to maintain your current weight. Fun fact: obese people have higher metabolisms than skinny people due to their bodies requiring more calories to keep them alive.

But yeah you don't need to lose weight, you're nearly underweight according to BMI, which is accurate unless you're above 6'3" or weight train (and you fit neither of these categories)

Dude you're already a stick.

Maybe not quite a stick - I'm 150lbs at 6' and I'm just regular thin, not even a stick.

idk man at 5' 9" and 150lbs i was pretty thin

It's more healthy to eat over 1200 calories a day then under.

Starve yourself.
I've lost a lot of weight in doing so and I feel much better about myself
This isn't good for you at all.

no white bread, don't eat heavy meats like pork and steak as often (chicken is your best friend),  and drink lots of water. 3 meals a day, don't snack often. consider getting a calorie counting app. also sometimes when you weigh yourself, it's including the weight of all the water you took in that day so you're usually a few pounds over your actual weight. it's best to weigh yourself the same time every day to get an idea of what you're actually losing.

To be fair you have more dense muscle mass though, which probably accounts for a lot of that.
