I'm a 64-year-old woman, 5'6" tall, 136 lbs, with 26.7% body fat and 42.7% muscle. I've been strength training off and on all my adult life, mostly on now, with heavy weights, 4 times a week, plus daily walks and half-mile runs twice a week. I track macros, aiming for 1200 to 1300 calories per day, 130 grams of protein, under 50 grams of fat, and under 100 grams of carbs (less on recovery days). My goal is to get to 25% body fat and ultimately increase muscle mass. I feel strong, have energy, and sleep well. I'm on HRT. I am maintaining muscle and slowly gaining weight while also losing body fat at a rate of less than a pound a week. I'm super focused, but this pace isn't sustainable, and it will take me another 6 months to reach my goal. Any suggestions?
