Hi lovely fit people! I’ve given myself a hard 6-month deadline to reach the following goals:
Body fat mass: from 31.9 to ~ 22.7 - 24.0 lbs
Lean (muscle) mass: from 88 to ~ 89 - 91 lbs
Body fat %: from 25.6% to ~ 19.5 - 20.5 %
I began doing a "smart bulk" for a few weeks and recently realized I probably should have been cutting given my current body fat %, goals, and 6-month timeline. Currently feeling very chubby.
Once I reach my goals, I'll go into "maintenance" mode for a few months, then do a "smart bulk" in the winter as I really do want to eventually focus on building strength.
My questions are:

My questions are:
- What fitness program do you all recommend to achieve these goals in 6 months? (assumption: walk 10K steps everyday + do 30-45 mins of resistance/strength training 3-4x per week)
- What fuel should I be eating? (assumption: 150 calorie deficit from my TDEE, so 1600 (vs 1750) calories, including daily 115g protein, then 35/35 split for carbs/fat)
