Normal: A body mass index of 22 is normal and healthy, so there is no need for you to lose weight. You can improve your body composition (more muscle and less fat) by eating enough protein (60 grams a day), cutting out sugars and empty carbohydrates, and working out 20-60 minutes a day. Exercise increases your metabolic rate and low-fat dieting or fasting decrease your metabolic rate.
