As a woman in my 20s who trains early in the morning and wants to lose body fat and weight while considering the impact of cortisol levels, should I eat before I train?
I'm doing a reverse diet from 1700 to 2500 calories, and my goal is to reach 3000 to 3400 calories. I weigh 220 pounds and am 5'11" tall, and I'm a 36-year-old male. I sleep about 6.5 to 7 hours a night but often wake up multiple times due to sore muscles. My job requires me to stand on my feet for 8 hours, loading parts into a machine. Sometimes, when I come home, I feel too tired to complete my workouts.
I have a question about this episode How Strength Training & Cardio Promotes Younger Skin | Mind Pump 2379 and the clip Muscle Gains Struggles. I have a lot of activity through my job, averaging 18,500 steps a day. Is it possible that I'm eating too little? Should I eat more now that I have started anabolic training, or should I stick to a deficit? I'm just a little afraid of getting much heavier.
