Newbie here, lifting 4 months now (without missing a day), results are pretty good. I've lifted on and off for 4 years now but this is the longest I've gone without skipping or stopping. It's really hard but I'm determined.
5'11" 245 lbs 26-27% body fat (I used to weigh 335 lbs 4 years ago 40% bf).
Losing weight is easy, but putting on/maintaining muscle is a whole nother ball game so I'm having trouble finding ideal macro nutrient balance as I train 6-7 days a week (1 hour). Cardio on mondays for a couple hours (sports).
I wanna make sure I'm eating enough protein. I started at 180g per day to now 280g - 300g per day. Is that too much for a guy my size? I have like 104 pounds of muscle (according to an inbody machine). I don't wanna lose muscle, but I have to get rid of some more fat. My goal is to be 20% bf.
My current macro count for the day is 240g carbs, 300g protein, minimal fats (1 egg, fish oil, nuts).
Which amounts to around 2800 calories
Any mac recommendations? These online mac calculators seem like bs.
Thanks everyone
