Do you want to drop your body fat in half in 2025? According to one expert, it's totally doable. Brittney Blanco is a Macros Nutrition Coach and social media influencer who regularly shares her creative weight loss meal recipes with her followers. In a new post she reveals her hacks for dropping body fat. "Getting your body fat down to below 10% is an intense challenge—it's not just lean, it's incredibly defined. Here's a step-by-step approach for anyone serious about achieving this," she writes in the caption. "By sticking to this plan with discipline and consistency, you can achieve the results you're aiming for."
Calculate Maintenance Calories
The first thing to do is calculate your maintenance calories. "Start by tracking your food intake over a week. Be precise, using a food scale to measure everything you consume, and record it in an app like MyFitnessPal," she suggests in her post.
Set Your Macros
Next, set your macros. "A good baseline is to aim for 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. For fats, set them between 25-30% of your total calories, and let the rest come from carbohydrates," she recommends.

Enter a Calorie Deficit
Next, enter into a calorie deficit. "To reduce fat, calculate how many calories you need to cut with this formula: (Body weight x .0075) x 500 = calories to reduce from your maintenance. Plan to stay in this deficit for about 16 weeks. If the scale isn't shifting after 2 weeks, reduce your intake by an additional 100 calories and maintain consistency," she says.
Follow a Meal Plan
She also recommends following a meal plan. "Building a meal plan around your calorie and macro goals will give you clear direction and make it easier to stay on track," she says.
Track Every Detail
Next, track every detail. "Reaching such a low body fat percentage requires precision. Stay disciplined and track everything to ensure you're staying on target," she says.
Eliminate Takeout and Alcohol
Number six? Eliminate takeout and alcohol. "For the best and fastest results, cut out takeaways and alcohol. It's a tough but necessary step," she says.

Lift Weights
And her last recommendation is weight lifting. "Commit to 4-5 strength training sessions a week. Make sure you follow a structured program and push yourself consistently," she says. And if you enjoyed this article, don't miss these 3 Simple Stretches Made This Coach More Flexible in 2 Weeks.
