I am 21 years old, 127-128 lbs, 5'4.5 male (164 cm).
Although I'm not overweight, I have very large lovehandles that make my torso look wide. Also, my legs and bum are big. As a result, I look much bigger than I really am, and I'm really self concious about this.
I want to try to lose my love handles, but I'm having difficulty losing weight. Whenever I exercise or reduce my calories, I always get more hungry and end up eating. I usually eat around 1800 calories/day. If I do exercise that burns 400 calories and eat 1800 calories, I just become more hungry and eat 400 calories more than I usually do, so there is no calorie defecit in the end. I do try to eat lots of protein/fibre, but protein does get expensive! And I almost never have sweets, etc (if I do, it is always under 200 calories).
How can I lose weight? What exactly should I be eating?
