I’m relatively new to weightlifting but I’ve been a swimmer and runner on/off for about 8 years now. I’ve been lifting for almost a year now albeit sorta roughly because I don’t have access to a gym atm and I’m a sucker for having factual info so I go into a lot of things hesitantly from the fear I might not be doing the best thing or I’m missing something (I’ve come around to realizing most people are missing something, it’s just doing what you can until you can do better.).
If anyone would like to drop a link to useful info for a noob, it’d be much appreciated 😁
Now to my main question, if I’m trying to do some cardio, probably an hour run, what would be the best macro ratio to preserve muscle? To burn more fat than muscle do I need to retrain my body to do so, or is a small carb load good enough to keep my gains or would that just defeat the point of burning fat?
I’m currently reading a book called Roar by Stacy T Sims that goes into how the female physiology causes women to not burn carbs as easily as it does fats, that because some of the hormones present throughout the cycle it causes a females body to rely less on carbs and more on fat.... so does that mean my body doesn’t need as much carbs for energy on a run and therefore use fat more efficiently before burning muscle?
Sorry for all the questions 😀 a girls gotta learn though 😝
