My question is, if I'm tracking my macros correctly, eating 150g of protein per day, have 16% body fat at 135lbs, and consume 1900 calories per day, what is going to move the needle in terms of my muscle gains? I'm 51 and in peri on HRT, including testosterone.
Where should I be focusing first? Should I take a step approach (i.e., get hormones right then work on fat loss), or should I work on both simultaneously?
Is there anything else I could be doing, or am I on the wrong program?
