Answer 1

you actually have a BMI of 20.8 which is really healthy! My advice would be not to cut down the amount you eat as this triggers a survival reaction inside you which actually clings onto fat reserves in your body  to keep you alive!! This means that to lose weight you would have to keep reducing your intake until eventually you eat nothing, have massive organ failure and die. Harsh but true, its a vicious cycle. The amount of exercise you do to is ridiculous, yes by all means do 30-45 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise everyday, dont be obsessive and damage your organs. trust me i know what im talking about!!! If you carry on like this you will get an eating disorder and die.
