      yeah, and?

      It's the best I can do, can't change my birth sex, but there's no reason to not live the lifestyle that many women in the western world do. It's not rocket science, lol.

    >even the smallest amount of food makes me gain weight
    It takes 3500 calories to gain a pound. You need to be eating a lot over time to do that. If you are gaining rapidly over small amounts, it is the weight of the food in your stomach, water weight, and/or sodium bloat.
    >23 bmi
    That's good.
    >only look more and more feminine whenever I lose even a small amount of weight
    I thought this too even when I was a dylan mulvaney mummy skeleton. It's not really true. You look most feminine with a layer of subcutaneous fat, and at your best with subcutaneous fat and a BMI in the healthy range.
    >less food = more $$$ for makeup/clothes/fun stuff
    Until the medical bills come. It's not fun.
    >losing weight fast
    You're fine as you are right now. You're 23 BMI. If you want to lose some, then just cut back on sweets and empty junk for a while and you will see a small result.
    >without fricking up hair/skin/nails
    You can't do it like that if you want to lose ana-quick. You will also end up being weak and having chest pains eventually.

      I am short, and after years of eating disorders and a lot of abusing my body my maintanance calories sit around 1200-1500, I haven't been able to figure out exactly the weight. I do need to cut out the junk food, but all in all I usually it pretty clean. I have struggled a lot with binge eating in the last few years but have never gained more than 10lbs, I've been 138 for like 3 or 4 years now. It's losing weight that's hard. My male weight looks like absolute dogshit on me.

    Yes. Absolutely. Look at any information on puberty and malnutrition. There is a huge amount of literature on this, is a widely observed occurrence across basically all mammals.
    Feminization is just female puberty, its your body preparing for reproduction. There are biologically ingrained mechanisms that tell your body "Don't do this yet" because conditions are not good for reproduction, hundreds of thousands of years of natural selection have influenced this process, it's literally one of the most important and impactful functions on an evolutionary level.
    Malnutrition can delay, reduce, and permanently impede healthy pubescent development.

    We are already stepping well outside of ideal conditions by artificially inducing female puberty, usually a second puberty, in a male body.
    You don't want to take any risks of fricking it up, and malnutrition is quite possibly the worst thing you could do in this regard other than frick up your hormone levels.

    You want to be gaining weight slowly for the first year or two at least. You've got a whole lifetime to sculpt the perfect body in the gym, but you only get 1 shot at doing this right. Don't frick it up.

      frick. My eating has been super back-and-forth between binging and restricting, and I'm approaching one year. Any recommendations? am I fricked? I also have a very stressful retail job, is this making things worse?

        It's not the end of the world if your diet isn't perfect, not everything that applies to cis puberty applies to transition perfectly, but it gives some good indications.
        Getting extraneous hormones is a big blessing, as this is one of the mechanisms your body would use to slow or delay development. There's not a lot of literature on transition specifically, unfortunately.

        Don't starve yourself, and don't be underweight. Keep your calories up and eat well and you'll be fine. You're much better off maintaining or gaining weight than you are losing it, unless you're majorly over weight or are very muscular and getting a lot of atrophy etc.
        Stress isn't ideal either, so don't stress about it too much! But you definitely don't want to be under eating or starving yourself especially early on. As time goes on things like weight cycling etc. can be good, but early days you really just want to eat and give your body the nutrition it needs to develop.

          what would you consider starving though? Is 24-48 hour fasting a few times a week too much? Or are you basically advocating against extreme weight loss, or things like 400 calories a day etc?

            A lot of studies look at more extreme examples like chronic malnutrition or ED.
            Fasting here or there probably not a big deal if you're a healthy weight already but I'd keep it to a minimum.

            nta but would also like to ask, will it *permanently* stunt things? or can i gain the weight later as well

            No guarantees either way, but it seems to be a genuine risk. Why take the chance?

      why? why would they not grow once restored proper nutrition and enough of everything, including the right set of hormones? I don't understand, isn't the limit mostly set by genetics and partially age more or less?
