How tall are you?
What is it and how are you measuring this?
You just listed one of your problems right here. Low fat and altered electrolytes balance is a big key to hindering hormone function and dropping excess water weight.
FOR ALL THOSE READING YOU NEED SODIUM IN YOUR DIET. And a damn good amount of it if training.
What do you do in a day?
This "mode" is complicated, your path isn't a good one. Let's get to your answers to my questions first.
If you need to drop fat, drop fat. More so if you aren't going to eat much, get the not eating out of the way. Then go back to eating and enjoying life and worry about making small muscle gains later.

1. I am 5' 4.5" tall
2. My body fat percent was measured by my trainer at 31% a few weeks ago. He used the Durnin/Womersley four-site test.
3. Hmmm... My trainer says that sodium raises blood pressure so try to keep it around 1300 or so a day.
4. I have posted my diet and training logs. The training part is the section at the top. I do about 3-4 hours of cardio a week and then Personal training 2 more times a week. I do spinning and running and eliptical.
Index of /msc Besides that I have a farm and lift hay, scoop stalls, push wheel barrows, chop wood etc for another 30-60 min a day. Outside of that I sit at a desk.
Just a bit of history here. I am a hard core NON eater. I have eaten one meal a day for as long as I can remember (I think this started when I was about 7 and I am 44 now) and only in the past 1.5 years have I been getting a decent number of meals and cals in. So if I left this alone or listened (AKA go about enjoying life) to what my body wants I would eat about 900 cal a day and in 1-2 meals. Honestly I hate to stop and eat. I am a classic type A person. Even when I sit I never sit still.
