@Riri Walking 10-30k steps daily? That’s insane and extreme. Cardio doesn’t shape your body it just helps burn calories. Strength training is what changes how your body looks, but ou don’t need to jump straight into 40 mins of torture every day.

You don’t have to live on chicken breast or expensive powders to hit protein. Something cheaper like eggs boiled or scrambled which easy to eat, Greek yogurt or plain yogurt got high protein, beans or chickpeas can helps too..

You don’t have to force 100g every single day. Even 70–80g protein daily with consistency is enough to build and maintain muscle as a beginner so don't push yourself too hard. 

This "eat less, burn more, forever" mindset is what’s killing you. You need to change that mindset. 

Rigt now, you said you already lost weight.Great but tour next step shouldn’t be to keep cutting, but to go into maintenance calories 

the hard truthis you won’t magically transform into your "dream body" in 5 months if you hate the process. You’ll burn out, quit, and regret it later. But if you use these 5 months smartly..Build strength slowly.Eat protein you can actually afford. 

You’re exhausted because you’re trying to live like a dam robot. Normal teenagers do eat with their friends, rest, and enjoy life. And you deserve that too. Fitness isn’t supposed to steal your happiness darlin..

@Rikuu I need to swipe up to see what you're talking about since I forgot cuz its too long
@Rikuu 1, Thank you for taking the time to reply and your advices. Really. It feels refreshing being able to talk to someone who gets you.

2, where do you suggest I start then? Even now, laying on the bed, unable to lift a finger I'm believing that if I rest for three days I'll be up and good on the 4th day and will do the 40 minutes workout for four days and rest three days again until my body gets used to it like it eventually did with walking 25k steps daily. Am I heading in the wrong direction here? Also, should I get my steps in on the days I do exercise or no? If not, that'll affect my calorie budget for the day alot since 25k steps burn roughly 480kcal for me and my bmr + light activity is only 1338 kcal per day.

3, one egg is 6g of protein, even if I eat 10 that's only 60g protein with 700kcal with no carbs in it (I need at least 140g+ daily if I want to grow some height acc to chatgpt). - that's about the smaller half of my calorie budget for the day which is 1450-1650 kcal. Also who'd like to eat 10 eggs daily? Now, don't get me wrong, I lovee eggs but wouldn't want that love to switch up to hate real quick like It did with chicken (chicken isn't even bad I just can't eat it because of my braces) because Realistically speaking, you get the ick sooner or later if you eat one thing daily so I eat about 62g of protein from chicken breast (the bigger half) which is only 330kcal and the remaining from other stuff like eggs, chickpeas, cheese, cheeky snacks, (the smaller half). However I'll keep in mind that I don't have to force 100g+ daily on myself from now on!
