I was thinking in the mean time I could train like I'm competing but have no idea on how to get started. I figure the training could really transform my body along with the right diet. Right…

Workout schedule opinions
I'm starting stronglifts and c25k next week and wanted to do them together. My schedule would look something like this: Mwf- stronglifts then c25k, and all the other days will be rest days. Im thinking this should be fine given that I'd have 4 rest days and on every day I'd walk a minimum of 10,000 steps. Opinions?

Got my rmr tested
Ok so I got my rmr tested and its 1683. I thought it would be worse because of the 5-6 months on the vlcd. Its surprisingly high to me. Now I wanted to use this number to calculate my maintenance for my reset and wanted to know what multiplier to use. I'm lightly active. But I think I'm between light and mod activity.

maintaining muscle, losing fat.
Ok, I know this may be a stupid question, but I must ask. Are you able to eat at maintenance, lift heavy and lose fat at the same time? For some reason I thought maybe by lifting heavy and eating at maintenance I could maintain my muscle mass and the muscle would, in turn, burn the excess fat I have and use my fat for the…
