I am unsure if I want to be tracking calories my whole life, and I don't know what it will be like to maintain my weight at 145-160lbs without an app. What should I do in my situation: follow a more distinct bulk phase right now, adding .5lbs per week /.35%BW per week, then cutting and repeating; or a moderate bulk at .2-.3lbs per week /.15-.21%BW per week and then maintain at 145lbs or 150lbs?
If I've managed to bump my calories up to 3000 as my maintenance, can I start tracking my protein, make sure to eat that, and my fats, and then just eat whatever carbs and more fats without having to track everything and still maintain body composition?
I am a 28.5-year-old male, 8-13% body fat, and weigh 142lbs. My goals are to master compound lifts and achieve hypertrophy. I am a novice level strength in some muscle groups and intermediate in others. My long-term goal is to reach a weight between 145-160lbs and maintain 8-10% body fat for the rest of my life while learning other skills like surfing, climbing, balance, and calisthenics while preserving muscle. What can I do to achieve my goals without stressing too much about tracking calories?
