T25 Along with additonal training

Hi,

I posted this in another section but thought i would post it in here also.

Firstly i will explain what i am doing then what i am trying to find out.

I have just started T25. I will be doing this each morning in a fast state (before breakfast or liquid) and using this as my daily cardio. In addition to this i will also be strength/weight training 5 days a week Mon-Fri at lunchtimes.

I am also trying to comply with the T25 5 day kick start which looks to be roughly a 1100 calorie diet spread over 5 meals breakfast/lunch/dinner being around 300 and 2 snacks am/pm of 100.

What i am worried about is not consuming enough calories and burning muscle not fat.

The aim of doing this is to drop my body fat. Currently i am 24% and looking to drop to 16% over the next 10 weeks.

After the initial 5 day kick start i will try to stick within the 1600 calories t25 advise. But I presume this is for a general person just dong T25. So should i be eating the weight/strength calories back or keep that also as a deficit?

The Kick Start is just for 5-days and entirely optional. It's for people who are looking for a nice kick downwards on the scale and definitely not something to keep up with after the 5 days.

And you're right, the 1,600 calories is for the AVERAGE person. You'll want to find out what calories are right for you to consume and go with that.

Feel free to friend me, I have a lot of info on the program available!

If you do the kickstart, don't do the weight lifting during that time.. remember those calories are just for T25, your adding extra exercise on top of that, so you need to eat more than they recommend.
