I figured it out 🙂 If anyone is using DuckDuckGo for their internet, they will likely have the same issue. Just in case anyone else asks, they have to use Chrome for the links to work.
So, 420, not 100 over, but still a lot. I was hoping you were going to tell me I miscalculated and can have way more because I’m starving. Not “I wish I could eat cake starving”, more like “there’s a giant hole in my belly that hurts and makes me want to lash out irrationally starving”. 😉
Hi Nicole! What do you use to determine your macros? Is it the workout of the day, or just your results and goals? Also, by how much do you manipulate them and how long do you wait to see change before you deem it necessary to change them again? Any basic guidelines to go by? I use the IIFYM calculator to determine my base, but know that dietary needs are so individual. Thanks so much and Happy New Year!
By the way, I’m 5’6″ and weigh about 135. I try to keep my calories between 2000 and 2200 with a 40/30/30 split for macros. My family doesn’t build muscle easily, but isn’t skinny, if that makes sense. It’s hard to get the body fat off and build the muscles.
Hi Nicole! I’ve been lifting for over twenty years (I’m 38) and have a really hard time building muscle. I lift six days a week, run 3-4 miles three days a week, and do sprints on a stationary bike a couple of times a week. I’m also a group exercise instructor for Tabata, cardio circuit, and Group Power (like Body Pump) 4-6 times a week. I’m wondering how to keep a balance so that I can build muscle, but still teach and train like I love. I’ve increased my calories, but worry about overtraining and muscle loss. Thanks in advance!
