I'll start with: don't look at my diary. I know that sounds counterintuitive... I WAS doing Lyle McDonald's Rapid Fat Loss Handbook. Lost 15lbs on that, and then took a week off. Starting logging again today. I will be buying a new food scale around the 15th of this month, until then I'm stuck with an old inaccurate one (but will still be weighing).
Basics- 5'11", 245-247lbs, around 25% using the Navy method. Currently I have MFP set to 2150 calories, 30%C 35%P 35%F which puts me at 166g/C, 188g/P, 84g/F.
Exercise: I will be doing strength training (compound lifts) 3x a week, with cardio/calisthenics of some sort for 30-60minutes on days between weight lifting with Sunday being the rest day.
I've had 'some' success with random attempts, most of the less successful being easily chalked up to logging inaccuracy. I guess my biggest question is: Am I eating enough/too much/too little, and should I adjust my macros differently?
I do plan on having most of the carbs I eat come from fruits and veggies, if I don't hit my carb goal, I won't be worried about it unless it affects my lifting performance, any calories left over will either go uneaten or replaced with protein/fat.
Thank you in advance for your time :bigsmile: :drinker:
ETA: Carbs that I'm eating... planning on mostly fruits and veggies because a large amount of refined carbs causes joint pain. I can eat a bagel and be ok, but a bagel and a big bowl of cereal = knee pain.
