Hello! Sorry I ask so many questions, first off.
But here's another one, lol.
How do I make sure I'm losing a majority of fat?
I currently eat 1440 and I alternate between 1440 and 1660 a month. I eat 1440 for 2 weeks and 1660 for 2 weeks. I've been lifting for around a year and a half now and I have drastically reduced my overall weight but I'm not sure about fat because the way I see it personally, I look the same shape, just smaller. SO what is the most efficient way to lose fat?
I have a food scale and count everything. My macros follow 50/30/20 and look something like this:
Protein: 144
Fat: 56
Carbs: 90
I try to consume "bread" or grain like food once a day and strive to get my other carbs from veggies and fruits. I also drink at least a gallon of water a day.
I'm sitting at 204, 30ish% body fat (Electro-body fat says I'm 35%, skin fold says 29.3) and I'm 5'4 (on a good day, lol). I'm beginning Starting Strength and I'm doing that 3x a week and LISS cardio after lifting. I'll be doing rugby practice twice a week for 2 hours. I want to get down around 20-ish% give or take by the end of the summer and my ultimate goal is to be 15% in the next year or so.
What is the most ideal way to lost fat and little muscle?
Also, does my goal sound attainable?
Thanks for all your help and support so often.
**Also, my goals are similar to my friends goals I asked about but she weighs less than I do**
