I started my first cutting phase about a month ago. I'm eating four meals 3-4 hours apart. Macros are at 30% carbs, 50% protein, and 20% fat. Total calories = 1300 a day. I weight train upper body/lower body splits 5 days a week and do 1 day cardio (6 mile jog). I weigh 152 lbs and I am 5'6" tall.
So, I lost 2.5 lbs (total of 5 lbs) in the first two weeks and lost 1 pound last week. I gained one pound this week and I kept my nutrition right on track!
My goal is to build more strength and muscle. Any tips or pointers for a beginner? Any ideas why I gained a little bit of weight back? Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
Thank You ...
