Here's my situation: I'm 5'10 and currently overweight by at least 60lbs. I want to drop the weight and gain muscle. Not just "tone" but actually gain some decent muscle and strength. Although, not competition ready or anything.
I know it's probably next to impossible to lose fat/gain muscle at the same time so I'm just wondering if as a newbie I should up my calories (I currently and for the past 3+ years have eaten 1200 calories a day) while starting to lift heavy or if I should try to cut calories (or keep at 1200) and lift heavy first?
Also, my schedule is tight with work and kids so I only have about 2 maybe 3 days to train. Would that effect my diet as well? Say, should I use a "bulking" diet on days I lift and then a "shredding" diet on days I don't?
I know keeping macros in check is a huge part to success....I'm just trying to get overall calories nailed down so that I'm not busting my butt but not eating enough to fuel muscle gain or overeating and getting fatter. Please help!!! So ready to get my life back on track!💪
