  • You need to work out your maintenance calories to start with. If you want to loose weight you need to eat less than your maintenance (cut) to add muscle you need to eat above your maintenance (bulk).

    in Trying to tone, using weights, how many calories do I really need? Comment by louiandaisy April 2016
  • You sound like you need to add muscle rather than loose weigh. If it were me I would up my calories and follow a good weight lifting programme, decent heavy weights not little ones. Mia Shanks is worth taking a look at if your new to lifting weights. Have a look at a Tdee calculator to give you your calories and macro…

  • I'm following the Eat to Perform method and have found it very good. Their information seems well informed and is not based on "bro science" !
