Nutrition notes:
I'm aiming to gain muscle by weight training and eating a surplus of calories. I want to keep close track of this so I don't end up gaining a bunch of body fat. I'm currently estimating body fat as 20-22%, which I'm fine with. I'd like to stay in that range. I've been less and more. I'm most comfortable in this range, honestly. My brain likes to tell me I'd like to be more slender but whenever I lose body fat I'm not happy with my body. It's taken me a long time to accept this, oddly enough. Still working on it. I think seeing so many slim girls with nice boobs and figures in media totally messes with my head. When I get slim I have no boobs, really, none. Implants are just not an option for me for multiple reasons, $ being no. 1.
2/5/16
current weight - 130 lbs
daily calorie intake - 2000-2400
macros -
carbs 40-60%
protein 25-35%
fat 15-25%
I thought I was 125 lbs, I weighed myself this morning and apparently I packed on a bit for winter! I weighed 118 lbs in the summer. I was gardening heavily, walking a lot, and not eating enough. I'm fine with the weight gain. I'm comfortable, though my belly is slightly jelly. I think working out will help with that without the need to lose weight again. Hopefully!
