I want to get leaner but not lose my strength. I strength train 4-5 times a week for 50-minute sessions and try to get 10,000 steps a day (I work a desk job). On the weekends, I stick to one active rest day and one full rest day. I started tracking my macros on MyFitnessPal because I know I was never hitting my protein intake. My question is, is MyFitnessPal accurate? It tells me to increase my macros when I train. For example, I try to get 160 g of protein, 157 g of carbs, and 60 g of fat, but after training, it brought my protein goal to 225 g. Not even sure if my macros are right but would love to hear your thoughts on this.
What can I do to achieve my weight loss goals if I am currently running MAPS Anabolic, hitting 8,000-10,000 steps per day, and 'inconsistently' tracking my calories and macros, averaging about 2,400 calories per day? My daily step goal used to average around 17,000-20,000, and I maintained a weight of around 205-210 lbs while teaching a high volume of classes. Now, I am struggling to drop below 246 lbs and 30+% body fat. I feel like I’m doing everything right in terms of exercise but am having difficulty getting the fat off my body without tracking for the rest of my life or following a fad diet.
When wanting to lose fat, is it more important to eat when hungry or to fulfill macro goals?
