I'm a 28 year active duty Army service member so fitness has been a large part of my adult life. I enjoy working out, ultra running, and living a healthy lifestyle.

I typically strive to maintain a 10% body composition year round, however, my current goal would take me down to about 8%.

My weight is around 160 but I'm looking to gain about 10 pounds. My challenge is adding lean body mass while continuing to lose fat. I enjoy being active and working out daily. I strive to do cardio everyday and normally include a weekend half marathon or long bike ride on a weekly basis. My love of running often results in muscle loss which is a daily struggle to find the right balance between fat loss and maintaining lean body mass.

I wish everyone the best of luck in your fitness goals and enjoy being a part of this community.

Balancing Calories and Macro Limits
I've only been using this app for about a month and really enjoy it so far, however, I'm having some challenges hitting my calories within the limits of my macros. Basically, if I hit my recommended calories I will almost surely go over on my fats or proteins. What's the secret to balancing this out?

Guess some background would be helpful. My goal isn't to lose weight, it's actually to gain. I'm 6'2" and currently weight about 160lbs. My goal is to gain about 20 pounds of healthy weight, mostly muscle while continuing to drop body fat. I maintain about 13% body fat year round but I'm attempting to hit 10% this year which has been challenging. I enjoy cardio and typically run almost every day with maybe a half marathon or long bike ride every week. Unfortunately this often results in muscle loss which also hurts my BMI goals. To prevent muscle loss and encourage muscle growth, the Fat Secret app has set my nutrition goals to be the following 3400 calories, 225 protein, 375 carbs, and 67 fat which is where the problem comes into play. That's a lot of food and I typically don't hit those numbers but try to come with 80% of it daily. Even at 80%, I might take in 2500 calories but often bust my other macro numbers due to the amount of food I need to consume to keep up with my burned calories. Anyone else have any experience with getting the math to work?
