@jacksoncris So true! Silver lining of the pandemic life for sure. I do still meal prep and cook in bulk to make things faster, but it’s pretty awesome to be able to cook/eat throughout the day and workout without needing to look presentable after…fingers crossed WFH is here to stay.

@jacksoncris Happy to help! Increasing protein made such a big difference for me and it took me awhile to figure out how to get to 135 g consistently. I will say that I am not bothered by dairy so my diet does have a lot of it and I also am low carb due to PCOS, but my usual day of eating...

@jacksoncris Hey! It’s pretty early to tell if this is just an adjustment to increased activity or something you’ll need to address long term as you continue lifting. I would spend a couple days actually tracking your macros- I thought I was eating enough protein but was only coming in around...

@jmh96 Hopping on this to agree- I’ve only been able to recomp eating closer to 1g/pound of body weight, and I build muscle pretty easily. OP if you’re trying to grow muscle in some areas (saw you mention das booty) I’d up your calories a little and up your protein to over 100 grams/day...
