After weeks of feeling stuck, my weight is finally going up. I’ve been staying more consistent with food, training, and rest.
Small progress is still progress. My goal now is to keep building and see how far I can take this transformation.
End of the day your total calorie intake determines whether you gain or lose weight while adequate protein supports muscle retention the combination usually beats choosing one over the other.
A 300-500 calorie deficit with sufficient protein has always been the sweet spot for me.
I used to think eating more protein meant I didn’t have to track calories learned that lesson the hard way.
