Hello all,
So my girlfriend is in her journey of getting lean muscle mass and has reached a "plateu". She is currently consuming 1700 calories with macros set at 45% protein/ 35% carbs/ 20% fat. Im curious to hear everyones thoughts/opinions about what works best for them. I suggested she increase her calories to improve muscle mass and cut at somepoint there after to get the lean musclar toned look, but maybe there are more effective strategies out there? Thanks in advance for your input....

    We had talked about possible solutions the past few weeks and I had the idea this morning to use the mfp forum for input. Shes on here as well, stays pretty tight to her eating regimen (username: josefina_asfitness).

    Shes in her early 30's, 5 feet 7, 150 pounds....works out 4-6x/week. 3 days of weight lifting and 1-3 days on cardio.

    Thanks for the input.
