Tag: Skinny Fat | How to Build Muscle & Lose Fat

Tired of looking soft and skinny?

If you train a bit and you think you eat sort of healthy…but your body still isn’t looking “in shape”. Just thin arms, no chest and a stubborn belly hanging out.

That’s why I put these guides together.

Real-world, no-BS strategies to go from skinny fat to strong, lean and confident — without starving yourself or training 7 days a week.

  • ✅ Easy-to-follow structure

  • ✅ No fluff — just what works

  • ✅ For men who want results, without the guesswork

Not sure where to start?

  • Train heavy 3–4x per week
    Focus on the big compound exercises like bench, squats, and rows to build real muscle.

  • Get enough protein
    Aim for roughly 1g per pound of your bodyweight. Protein builds muscle and keeps you full e.g. if you are 160lbs/72kg then eat around 150-160g of protein per day.

  • Don’t skip carbs
    They help fuel your workouts and give your energy throughout the day.

  • Don’t consume a high fat diet
    Unless you plan to do Keto (which I personally would avoid), I would try keep your fat intake between 40-60g (Based on an average mans size, this is a good range)
  • Cut out doing endless cardio
    If you are very inactive then doing some light cardio is great of aiming for 8-10,000 steps per day.

  • Dial in your sleep
    Poor sleep = low testosterone + higher body fat. Poor sleep can also make you crave more snacks and food

  • Stick to one of the training plans for at least 12 weeks
    Real change takes consistency.
