Hey guys! Hope everyone's doing well. I need some advice from y'all.
My primary goal ever since I've started losing weight is to lose the belly fat and get a solid six pack. I'm at a stage now that it's almost gone, which is great. My approach to food was to keep a calorie deficit and consume a good amount of protein, and moderate carbs and fat.
Later this year, I've got a a couple of races and marathons coming up, which means I'll be exercising a lot more and I'll also have to eat more as a result. I'll be doing a lot more strength training to go with running, so I won't be losing any muscle. Since there's still some belly fat left to lose, is there a way I can consume a high amount of calories and shed the fat? What's an ideal macro breakdown for such a goal?
