Goals lose some belly flub gain lean muscle

You do not need to go on the keto diet. What you should be doing is eating at a SLIGHT calorie deficit. But you need to be eating LEAN protein like chicken and a lot of veggies and measuring your carbs. When you eat lean you will lose body fat but also put on muscle. Once you’ve lost the fat- you can start to bulk and eat at a calorie surplus.

Here is my meal plan that helped me lose 5% body fat so far but maintain my mass.

If you have problem areas this type of meal plan is perfect for you.

This is a meal plan for me (I’m female)

Meal prep-

100 g rice a day / 50 g per meal
6 oz broccoli a day / 3 oz per meal
10 oz a day / 5 oz per meal

Dinner: (7pm)

So im starting keto not quite sure what is going to be best for me! Heart diesease runs in the family id like to drop my body fat percentage and gain lean muscle mass! Any suggestions i woukd appreciate

If you are trying to gain some muscle while losing weight, keto isnt going to be the best choice, at least based on the current limited evidence.

But the biggest driver for muscle growth is going to your lifting program, not having a large deficit and having adequate protein.

So what is your lifting program? If yoi don't have a structured one, I'd recommend looking at the below thread.
