I like to keep my body fat around 14%. That way I eat plenty of protein and tons of veggies. Not big on fruit, a banana, some raisins in my morning oatmeal and usually an afternoon price of fruit.
My biggest problem is trying to put on or just maintaining my weight. I eat and eat, mostly clean, and just burn it off. According to my scale it tells me that at my current bf it takes just over 2,800 calories a day to maintain my current weight. 14% bf allows me to still have that nice six pack and obliques.
Processed crap is off my list except for maybe one day a week I'll split some sort of sweets/dessert w/hubby. But that processed sugar just immediately bogs me down.
I was thinking about lifting heavy again, but it takes up a lot of time and dedication. And for me it means I have to eat even more just to try and maintain my weight. I don't like getting too lean, falling under 14% for a woman can lead to health issues, been there, done that as they say.
