I’ve
been getting asked quite a bit how to eat and what workouts to do to
reach your specific goals so I thought it’d be helpful to do a post on
it!
While yes we all have different body
shapes and sizes, when it comes to dropping fat or building muscle it’s
science. Just because you have fat to lose on your stomach does not
mean you should be doing completely different exercises from someone who
holds their fat in their hips and legs. It is not possible to target
certain areas of fat on your body. I do the same exercises whether I’m
bulking or cutting. The only thing that changes is more/less cardio and
my diet. Since my low stomach and back are the places my body stores the
most fat, those will be the last place I lose it. Nothing you can do
about that, it’s genetic.
The tricky
thing about weight loss is, of course, diet. You can kill the workouts
and do cardio everyday but if you’re eating more than your body is
burning, you won’t see progress.
To lose
fat you need to eat in a deficit (less than your total daily energy
expenditure, TDEE). To gain muscle, you need to eat in a surplus (more
than your TDEE).
To figure out how much you should be eating go here and input all your info.
Then
put your results into MyFitnessPal and track your meals! Don’t add your
cardio because you already account for that on the macro calculator.
