Thanks so much liftnlove :)

Just read the link, thank you. I like doing split routine because I workout 6 days of the week doing full body each day doesn't give much muscle recovery time so I like to split. Also I suffer with low iron levels and when I tried full body workouts it was just too much for me, it knocked me sick. I once did arm, back and…

Thank you all for great advice. To lose 1/2lb a week mfp says 1400 a day so I'm going to stick to that then eat my calories back after exercise. So I should get them up to around 1600-1700. Maybe it's not muscle gain then. Although people are commenting on the size of my guns lol! I can't understand how I've dropped to 8…

I have that book for women, it's great. I do a leg day at home, and a back and arm workout at home with free weights and cardio. So I think I'm hitting my muscle groups twice a week just only at the gym 3/7 days. I'm 4 months in and loving it I'm just confused about the calories I should be having. At 1lb a week it lowers…

Arm day I'm doing my bicep curls, hammer curls, tricep extension, dips, skull crushers.... Leg day dead lift, lunges, squats, bridge, leg press, extension, curls..... I'm lifting 4 days and other 2 I'm doing some cardio and yoga. I was lifting 6 but now I do 2 days of cardio but I'm still holding a weight at times. At 1800…

Thanks for your advice. I'm only 5ft tall and I'm told 1800 calories a day is too much even though I'm doing strength training. I do 12 reps and 2 sets and 60 second rest. I'm enjoying strength training. I do arm and leg days in the gym. I've been training 4 months and have gained muscle and lost weight but still I've some…

I'm confused too to be honest. I want to gain muscle but I'm also needing to cut a bit of fat but I don't want to stop my strength training in the meantime.

I'm getting my protein to 80-100g a day. And straight after a workout I eat protein Rich foods as I can't have the drinks. I'm only 5ft tall but I find too fewer carbs makes me light headed and weak. I'm lifting 6 times a week for 45 minutes. Lifting or some strength training if at home. My carbs are now set at 180g ish,…

Thanks Allan. Appreciate it. Fitness pal has set me at 1400, I've set my macros to 50/30/20 carbs, protein and fat. Gives me carbs of about 180g so that's almost 100g less. I achieved that yesterday too. I always get high protein in on workout days so go over the 80g ish they suggest. So 1400 to lose 1lb a week plus I eat…

Sorry I didn't realise my diary was closed to the public. With weight training I have to increase my calories because to build muscle you must eat higher calories. Eating 1200-1400 a day plus the amount of daily exercise I do it just wasn't enough, I was feeling very faint and I wasn't building any muscle at all. Now I…
