Hi, I started doing a workout routing 3 weeks ago plus spinning, yoga and kickboxing. But I haven’t feel a lot of progress some days I feel swollen, and still my muscles haven’t show up I have a layer of fat that doesn’t allow them to. I’m doing intermittent fasting 16/8 but I’m not sure if working out the whole morning without food is good… also I’m struggling trying to count my macros, any piece of advice will be highly appreciated it.

    When I started tracking more than just calories, I tracked protein. You should be aiming for 0.8-1g of protein per lb
    It's a great starting point so you're not having to track P, F and C.

    Focus on your calories. Also, three weeks isn't enough time to see anything in regards to body composition changes from workouts. Also, "workouts" is pretty generic...what does that actually consist of? Lots of people just endlessly spin their wheels because their programming is crappy or they're doing things that don't actually work towards their goals.
