Probably temporary but I would get the cals in. Don't gamble with a bunch of low cal days

Depends on how you look at it. How do you know what you are consuming relative to dropping weight if you don't? Once you get accustom to doing it you won't have to going forward.

Curious but losing 10 pounds at your height and weight is a little different. What is your overall program?

@The ADD so let's say during my eating window I dont eat enough to reach my calories for the day (myfitness app telling me 2,340 per day to drop weight)...it won't be a big deal right?

this sounds totally off. Those stats are almost impossible as 157lbs is underweight for a black male at 6'1 today. At 147lb you'll be a skinny 18 y/o male model, but you'll be 'skinny fat'.

If it is correct, if you do any weights you will most probably gain weight. do you go to the gym? what do you do?

are you sure those stats you gave were correct?

this is a rough guide at what bf look like.

someone 6'1 at 157lb going to gym 5x a week should be around 13%-15%bf or less, unless you have unique metabolism.

IF the stats were rght, IF will be good for you to increase your sensitivity. But trying to go to 147 probably isnt the right move. Losing 10lb of real weight, some of that will be muscle, you already have low muscle. you will have a young thug physique. ( I think hes probably 6'1 and 165-170 at a guess)
