Hello everyone,
I am finally going to take all this alot more serious, and wanted to get my diet on point.
A little bit about me,
Current stats:
37 years old
200lbs
bodyfat unknown.
My history:
I trained alot when I was in my early teens to about 22 and then I sustained an injury ( herniated disc ) that put pressure on my sciatic nerve which made it impossible to continue my training.
I quit training and went into a deep depression caused by that and other things that happened in life and became an alcoholic for about 8 years, during this 8 years my weight shot up to 300lbs
I've been sober now for 7-8 years and have lost 100lbs and train 4 days a week, my training consists of 1 hour weights and 30 minutes cardio.
For the last year I've been on a trt does of test @ 200mg a week, I have noticed major changes in my body composition, but I am just recently trying to dig more into my diet and fine tune, before I was only counting calories but now I am taking macros into account as well.
My goal for this diet is maintenance & body recomp and possibly add some lean muscle.
My diet will be strict Mon-Fri and saturday/sunday I will eat whatever but keep in within my maintenance calories.
