I’ve read enough on this website that I should know the answer to this, but, I’d really like to lose some belly fat. (But I’d also like to continue getting stronger). Here are my stats:
I’m currently eating about 3000 calories a day, 250 g protein/day
following ABBH-1
I had worked out for a number of years inconsistently and stopped last October. I started up again 2 months ago when i was at 205 lbs. (lost a lot of strength, and gained a good deal of fat). The last 2 months, I’ve kept the same waist size, but gained 10 lbs.
Like I said, I’d like to lose the belly fat, but I would also like to continue gaining strength.
do neither. you don’t have to be in one or the other of these categories at any one time in your life.
Just eat very slightly above maintainence and lift heavy and regularly. Your body composition will change to have less fat and more muscle. Once you are at a good level of BF like 10 or so then you can bulk if you like. I just would hate to see anyone start cutting before they have developed a base of strength and nutritional habits. give yourself a year before you decide to “bulk” or “cut” unless you are a skinny rail or fat bastard.
Just train hard and eat clean 90%. watch your body change until you ‘need’ to bulk to make worthy gains.
