Wanting to build more muscle

vallary14

So I’ve only been using MFP for less than two months and I’m within 2 lbs of my goal weight. I’m wondering if I want to build muscle mass should I stop eating at a deficit and focus more on my macros? Should I just eat somewhere in between maintenance and what I’m currently eating? I’m 5’11.5” 147 female and I know I need to become friends with the weights. TIA for input

Look into recomp for when you reach weight goal.

Pick a beginner strength training program.

Thanks RoxieDawn! I will have to look into the different strength training plans, I know I need to get past insecurities and get comfortable with the weights again.
