Going over slightly on carbs

That is what's going to help you bulk up and gain muscle mass but in return burn off excess fat. Leave out the fruit. Maybe one serving every other day. Fruit is all high glycemic index carbohydrates. That means that your body cannot process the sugars in the carbohydrates as quickly as they are going to digest. Which in return leads to a greater amount of subcutaneous fat. It is actually very oxymoronic towards weight loss and toning. You can eat as many green veggies as you want. Also, cut out any dairy products whatsoever. Dairy causes water retention, no one wants bloat. Water retention from dairy, causes your blood pressure to rise. When your blood pressure goes up, it makes it harder for your blood to pump to the body which in return slows down your metabolic rate. A slower metabolic rate leads to the burning of calories and carbohydrates at a slower pace. Sorry for all the info, just trying to help you and whoever else reads this!
Should've stopped there. Everything else is derp0 -
You won't get a "keto effect" with 72g of carbs.if I was eating that insanely amount of low carbs and hitting the gym 5-6 days I would be a whiny you know what..
OP - do you have some kind of medical condition that makes you sensitive to carbs?
and out of curiosity, how do you define "clean"…?
Clean for me is = poultry, steak, fish. Lean meats, low carbs only to cut fat as quickly as possible. Basically to get more of a keto effect.
Anyway, you don't need to be keto to lose fat. Are you trying to cut fat and build muscle at the same time? Because... good luck with that at 1400kcal.

calorie deficit = fat loss
so if you are over on fat, but under on calories you will still lose...
what are your goals...fat loss/body recomp/etc?0 -

if your primary goal is fat loss then just keep eating in a deficit and do not worry so much about macros/food type...
I would suggest looking into the following programs - 5x5, strong lifts, or new rules of lifting for woman ...
Lifting heavy is what is heavy for you ..so if a exercise calls for 3 sets @ 8 reps and you can only lift 25# for 8 reps then that is heavy for you ...

good to hear OP!
Just one thing..it is really hard to almost impossible to burn fat and build muscle at the same time. since you are a beginner you may see some "newbie gains" but those peter out after a few months..
Reason being; more muscle requires more energy = calorie surplus; less fat requires energy deficit = calorie deficit...so as you can see the two are directly oppose to one another..
I like to use this analogy ..can you build a house and tear it down at the same time??
