Happy New Week, my fabulous followers!

I have made the transition back to my better eating habits; and of course weighing and measuring everything for portion control.

I am experimenting with macro changes. I know what has worked in my long past (calorie count) and my more recent past (keto). Working my way to higher protein and moderate fat maybe...

BodyBuilding.com says:

Higher Carb for BodyBuilding: 40-60% Carbs, 25-35% Protein, 15-25% Fat

Moderate Carb Maintenance: 30-50% Carbs, 25-35% Protein, 25-35% Fat

Lower Carb for Fat Loss: 10-30% Carbs, 40-50% Protein, 30-40% Fat

* REVISIT Nutrition plan - calorie count and look at macros again
* Movement down on the Idiot Boxes while retaining muscle by year end 2018

* Drink at least 12-14 cups of fresh water daily - especially on gym days
* Continue HIIT mixed in with weight lifting four to five days a week
* Keep up the training notebook to achieve progressive overload

*Bodyfat at 26% or less (Current 29.8%) by end of 2018

HCB- I've tried 30-30-30 with 10% for wiggle room for the past several years. No real weight loss but a good reduction in bodyfat percentage. Desk job, sedentary weekends, three weight training workouts a week. I eat what I want otherwise, generally try to not be a pig.

Thanks for sharing this information. Do you think a carb range of 30-40% might help me lose some fat while putting on some muscle?

40-30-20 carbs-protein-fat always seemed to be the thing for building imo. But, you always did so well on the low carb while u were lifting so I guess it’s always different for everyone.
