Yep, pretty much. After a while, you'll be able to eyeball amounts....ex: 3 oz. chic breast, 1 cup green beans....that kind of thing. Also, whenever possible, use the numbers from the package you buy instead of the numbers in fitday.
The other thing, I've read it before and I've seen the veterans say it before, for a lot of ladies the problem areas (butt/thighs/abs) don't "come in" until you start getting your bodyfat pretty low.emillou said:
Best of luck with your goals, sounds like you're on the right track ...
The one thing I noticed, and this is just an idea, generally speaking 6 or 8 reps is going more for power. If you have areas you would like to "pop" a little more you might want to try lowering your weights and increasing your reps to around 12 or so (particularly true of smaller muscles, like triceps, biceps, deltoids).
Are you doing any cardio???
ive been a little wary of cardio to be honest i am very lean already i've managed to maintain the gains i made 18mths ago i didnt want to compromise any more weight loss...if that makes any sense ! Iwas worried to start cardio, loose muscle and still have butt that plagues meMuscleMom said:
LOL
I don't think burning muscle up is a worry as long as your tank isn't empty when you do cardio, you know??? You'll have to bring your body fat down to bring your glute/hamstring in. If you start to lose muscle then you have to up your calories to compensate for the increased cardio, tweak the macros ... Everything's about trying this, wait for results, trying that, wait for results, tweak this and see ... I'm going through something similar myself right now but MY problem is committment level ...emillou said:ive been a little wary of cardio to be honest i am very lean already i've managed to maintain the gains i made 18mths ago i didnt want to compromise any more weight loss...if that makes any sense !
