I've been going with the 0.8g of protein per ideal body weight (115lb) but these 92g takes up most of my caloric bank. I'm wondering if bringing it down to 80g (0.7g per ideal body weight) will totally ruin my goals.
Goals:
- Lose 5-10 pounds* to hover between 115lb-119lb (natural fluctuations)
- I'm okay if I way more than 119lb if it's mainly due to muscle but I'm not trying to look bulky, just "fit" with some muscle definition. Example
Current Stats
- Height: 5'2"
- Weight: 125lb
- Lift weights 2-3x a week ~30min.
- Spin bike ~30min 2-3x a week.
- 7,500 minimum steps daily
- Caloric bank is around 1k (low because I don't fully follow it Sat/Sundays)
Thoughts? Thank you!
