    In general, carbs should be lowest percentage, then protein, with fats being highest

    There are workouts you can do to build muscle in your butt and thighs but if you're wanting the fat bottom kardashian look, all you can do is gain fat and hope your genetics put it where you want it.

    Haha, not as big as Kim. I gained 7ibs since I started and I have been doing butt and thigh workouts. My thighs have gotten bigger but so has my tummy T.T

    Well I'm wondering about macros because, you know, you are what you eat.

    Maybe I'm taking in more fat than I should, or maybe I'm not taking in enough.
