Hi again,so im following this since 17 of january and i cant say i see a drastic results i still weight around 200 pounds but the weirdest thing was that yesterday i was at the gym and the scale said that i weight around 197 pounds and today at home the scale said that i weight 200 (maybe its because i eat a breakfast before i measured myself).To be fair before i cant say haw many calories a was eating some day maybe 2800 the other day if i wasnt that hungry 2500 the problem is that i wasnt calulating how many calories i was eating.And today after waking up i feel like sh*t,i have a weird headache, i have sorenes almost everywhere so i decidet to take a bit of a brake today but im thinking shound i deload this week or no cuz i last time i had a break for the gym it was around cristmas and i took it because i wasnt at home.Mabe im getting sick because right now in Bulgaria there is a Flu Epidemic and most of the people are sick can be from this ? idk . So my main question is shound i recalculate my calories and put them around 2972 or i shound stick with the 2300 calories amd how many carbs,fat and protein shound i eat in order to lose that layer of fat i have and after that to lean bulk ?
@niko9926 I would go with the macros I listed a few posts above, but maybe bump the fats up to about 100g to add some more calories and see if you can lose weight at around 2500 at least.
You could maybe even aim for 2800 to start with and slowly work your way down from there as you hit plateaus. So try to keep the carbs to about 175g-200g max, increase fat to 100g, and then maybe boost protein a bit (maybe around 240g-250g) too so that your total daily calories equal around 2600-2800.
If you are feeling so sick/tired that you think going to the gym will make things worse, maybe take a day or two to do very light stuff or take a day or two off. Just listen to your body. And don't worry about the scale, it fluctuates a lot, especially if you use different scales - focus on weighing yourself once a week in the morning before eating to get a good idea of your true weight.
