Hi Everyone,
I recently decided to take my fitness up another notch and actually not only get as good as I was in college, but to beat it a bit. I'm doing resistance training 4x per week; ab training 3x per week and HIITs and other high intensity short training 4x per week. Because I'm working out so hard, I need to make sure I eat properly to accommodate this training.
My diet prior to my recent changes was running approximately 30/40/30 in carbs/protein/fat at about 1400 calories a day. Now I'm moving to more of a 35/45/20 carb/protein/fat split and I'm 5upping my total caloric intake to about 1600 calories a day. I'm cutting back a bit on my cheat days so where I was eating more than 3000 calories a day, I'll keep it in a range of 2250 - 2500. So the focus is on more protein (average 165 grams per day) for repair and recovery, more carb for energy and less fat.
My goals are to take off another 12 - 15lbs of fat and add 2 - 5lbs of muscle.
