How do you set macros?
To reduce BF% and maintain the lean mass/improve strength, how do I set my macros? I am female, I go to the gym 5 - 7 days a week, with average about 50mins work out. Current BF% is 21.5% and my goal is about 17- 18%. Thanks so much!

Would you (especially girls) ask someone random to spot you?
I have only been lifting weights the last couple of months and I have made some progress so far. My current goal is to go up to my body weight on squats - but this definitely requires a spotter to do safely.

Please recomend a protein powder with low carbs!
I am trying to loose body fat and get strength on muscle at the same time. As I find it hard hitting the daily protein intake just from eating normal food, I relay on protein shakes.

Difference in fat loss and muscle development on each leg
I apologise if this question has been asked somewhere previously, and also if it sounds like a silly question to ask! But I have recently noticed the difference in shapes on my each thigh. Human bodies cannot always be exactly the same on each side I know - but the difference I've noticed is clearly from my diet and leg…

Everywhere else on my body is so warm and I'm sweating so much! I have googled and seen some other people were asking the same question but I…
