Hey guys I wanted to share how I stay in shape without any effort and go about my day as any other. I eat in a way that is referred to flexible dieting: IIFYM! The best way I have found to figure out your calories and macros is not by an online calculator but by experimenting. I weigh myself everyday and take into account how late I ate and how active I was that day. It's OK to see your weight fluctuate every day, don't worry its almost all the time water weight if you ate according to your macros and stayed in your calorie restrictions.
I'll share my macros with you all and they work great for me right now. On average I loose .8-1 pound a week and I'm very pleased with that. So I have different macros for training and non-training days:
My macros on training days look like: 190g Carbs/46g Fat/ 125g Protein/ Approx. 1670-1680 Calories
My macros on non-training days look like: 140g Carbs/ 50 g Fat/ 115g Protein/ Approx 1470 Calories (I'm still pretty active on non-training days so I don't lower my macros by that much, I don't go to the gym but I'm still moving around a lot)
These macros right now are working great for me while eating all the foods I enjoy. This is a very healthy and enjoyable way to "diet". Hope you try this out and find your macros that work for you. Remember experiment a little, see what macros work for you!
I'll soon be going on a mini-bulk (don't wanna go too long cuz summer is coming up) to add some muscle, which means more food
!! But not too much.....
Oh yeah, if you were wondering my stats: Female - Approx. 5"1 - Around 106-108 Pounds (wanna hopefully add a few pound of muscle) Let's hope for the best!
I will be posting some of my favorite dishes soon!!
Also if you have any recommendations or what not I am open to some criticism (be nice tho...lol)
