Calories are calories no matter if they are "healthy" calories or mayo fat calories.
With your Zumba and dance, you are really burning some calories and we would need to measure that to see if you are needing more calories to get some muscle. Our muscles hold A LOT of great nutrients our bodies want to burn. If we are doing a lot of manual labor, exercising, lifting heavy, etc.. your body is needing a little more nutrition to keep up. That is why so many people have a hard time trying to lose weight, they are NOT getting enough nutrition. That's right, you need to eat more to lose more. ..and we all want to be in that catagory.

Well, I have been losing a lot, not so much on the scale (though I have lost some lbs) but moreso in size. I have dropped 2 pant/shirt sizes & having to buy clothes that don't fall off. Would not really want to lose weight faster. Clearly I have added some muscle or the loss would show up more on the scale. But want to do more to build muscle mass. At my age that is important for a lot of reasons. btw the protien powder I use has no sweetner, flavoring or filler, just protien powder. More thoughts?
