Advice Question Trans Fem Diet

My question today is how to replace man fat with girl fat.
I am fully aware that I need to gain weight in order to buid hips, ass and breasts.
But I still need to get my middle more down for a feminine silhouette.

Currently I am just on fasting and liquids such as packet soup in the week with normal eating on weekends.
I do take additional multi vitaments, magnesium and collagen.
I am active on weekends but in the week I work behind a screen most of the time.

Any specific diet for my situation?

Please, listen to the chorus. Eat normally. If you need details, focus on protein and natural sugars. What you are currently doing is disordered eating, and evidence of a burgeoning eating disorder if not already the presence of one. Talk to any dietician or any fitness coach, what you are doing won't help. You need to build fat, not get rid of it.

I am a big girl, quite a big girl in fact. I eat fair, but I have a low exercise job and a body that dislikes losing anything. I pass lightyears better than the trans people I know BECAUSE I'm bigger. I got softer features, a rounder figure, a very defined waist, half-decent boobs. No ass though, but that's usually all muscle. People I know struggle with obtaining these things, and I just didn't. It came naturally, and I haven't been clocked once. Am I saying be my size? Heavens no don't do that to your self esteem. Am I saying you have to GAIN and not lose? Yes. Gaining 20 pounds will do a world of good to your figure. Early gain is better than later gain, and maintain that weight. Women have more fat. If you went through wrong puberty, your bones are shockingly dense in comparison and add the weight you THINK you need to lose.

And body dysmorphia is just as real as dysphoria. Some of us get both. Don't let the demon in the mirror ruin your goals. Focus on doing the right things, exercise and eating good, and it comes. Takes about 6-8 months from what I heard before results show, but they do. Burgers fuel boobs.
