Hey all
Figured I'd come and ask some people who know their stuff.
Having toyed with lifting for the past 10 years, I decided in March to get a bit more serious with my training and nutrition, but I'm a bit stuck.
I'm 47yo, 5'9.5", currently 175lbs/79kg (down from 185lbs/84kg) and bf is 28.8%, down from 35.5%. I train 6/7, one HIIT cardio session and the rest is all weights, split upper body days/lower body days.
I wanted to try and achieve a degree of body recomposition, rather than cutting and then bulking, which I guess I've been successful at. I've been tracking macros closely etc. My TDEE is 1550, and my current calorie intake hovers around 1350 or so. Staying this low is pretty much the only way I can drop body fat, but clearly I'm not gaining much muscle.
I want to start to bulk up (with the caveat that I'm a perimenopausal woman, so I get that there are limits to what's achievable...) but after years and years of calorie-deficit dieting, I'm really struggling with the idea of eating more.
Anyone got any advice or experience they can share? Thanks in advance.
