Hi everyone!
I'm hoping to set my nutrition goals properly so I can maximize my results. I'd like to gain muscle (need sculpted glutes and arms) , but loose about 3-5 inches from my waistline (need abs to show. Goal at least 2 pack). I'm 5'4, 136 lbs, and I'd want to workout between 3-5 times a week for at least 30 minutes. I know that the MFP system will automatically calculate this for me, but I just wanted other opinions to ensure I'm on the right track for what I want to reach. Thanks for any help.![:smiley: :smiley:](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/smiley.png)

For the best results you should pick one goal hit that then go for the other goal. Personally I prefer to lose weight before gaining muscle because it is a more noticeable difference. To do that I would recommend a calorie goal of 1600 and macros of 40% protein 40% carbs 20% fat0
