      So first off for the past few weeks I think 3 to be exact I've been eating sort of whatever I felt like on more then half of those days I've been following my diet and on most of the days I was binge eating I was walking a lot so really I don't think it affected me. However my BMI scale says it did even though looking in a mirror I look better now then before more cut. Anyway I leave for Air Force Basic Training in 5 weeks time so how much body fat can I lose according to my scale i'm around 14.5% and 165.

      does that include water or just body fat? I was thinking around there as well

      it depends from person to person. Just eat low sodium to lose water weight.

      a 500 calorie a day deficit SHOULD make you drop 1 lb of fat a week, plus some water.

      Well I was down to 12.8% according to my scale so could it be possible that it would be quicker now because I was down to that sort of fat loss memory

      That might not help him drop any water weight at all. Maintaining low levels of sodium would probably increase aldosterone.

      what is aldosterone? I mean right now I eat a moderate amount of sodium I guess I mean i put mustard on egg, salt on a few things but it's not like I pour it on everything I eat that just sounds nasty

      Are you trying to hit a certain weight/height requirement for the air force? Why are you trying to lose weight? For me personally I would enjoy your last few weeks of freedom before being made to run to death and eat slop.

      You could probably drop 10 pounds of fat in 5 weeks, even from your current low bodyweight, if you're willing to also lose a great deal of lean body mass, a lot of strength and possible get sick too.
