Hey
I am 27 years old, 5’9 and weigh right around 164 lbs. I would estimate myself right around 11 or 12% body fat. My goal is to get to 10% or just below so I can get that six pack for the summer. I use to eat 250 g protein, 180 g carbs, and 60-70 g of fats a day. Due to some research about a week ago I discovered that I was not eating properly. So I switched it up and use some BMR calculations and daily activity formulas and came out with a usage of 2,320 calories for maintenance.
Now I am a school teacher so the most exercise that I do is standing up and moving about the room during my job. But I work out 6 days out of the week for about an hour to an hour and a half. I made it about a week and a half and I got to the point where I just felt light headed and like I needed to hammer down some food. Does it sound like I am really undershooting my calories which caused this or did I just have a weak moment and break down?
