Fats
Currently I'm on an 1,800 a day nutrition plan. Within that I have my fats set at 50 gm per day. I usually try to stick to healthy fats, but rarely get to my full amount of 50 gms of fat.

Men: Protein and maintaining muscle mass.

A few years ago I worked out with a personal trainer 4 days a week and built quite a bit in my upper body as well. A change in careers and not…
