Now I get asked about nutrition alot so I thought id try to break it down to a much easier way.
First of all you need to work out the calories you need for the amount you move- try using my BMR calculator in the menu bar at the top. You then need to workout whether you want to maintain, lose or gain weight and adjusting your calories accordingly.
So now you have worked out whether you will be in a calorie deficit, calorie maintenance or calorie surplus, what you then want to do is hit your protein goals as this will aid in recovery, building lean muscle, reducing muscle loss and curbs hunger. With research from leading scientists and journals the most common number is 1.7grams of protein per kg of body weight. Fats and carbs you can mess around with depending on your goals.
Still following pretty simple right ? Do not overcomplicate things with fad diets and having a miserable existence with food this is so common it drives me f**king nuts. Of course intermittent fasting works your missing a meal they all work cause their in a calorie deficit. If my calories for the day is 2500 cal for example I want to lose weight I could eat 2000 cal of fast food and lose weight this is not a recommendation as you want nutrients and good food for health reasons. But what i’m saying is why make life harder eat a well balanced diet hit your calorie and protein targets done.
