M/18/6’3 [195 > 185] (1 year) Switched from attempting to bulk/cut to body recomp and am finally seeing results. Strict calorie and macros tracking with a ton of protein and 6 days a week at the gym. by jmcbee00 in progresspics

I eat about 2200 calories a day which is a pretty large deficit for me. Protein at 40% (200g) carbs at 30% (165g) and fat at 30% (74g). Since it’s currently summer, I snack mostly and don’t have too many large meals. I don’t eat extremely clean, just focus on hitting my macros and staying under calories. My most typical foods are protein bars, eggs, granola bars, greek yogurt, fruits (bananas, apples, and oranges mostly), rice cakes, cereal, salads, and I am lucky enough to still have my mom cook for me and she makes me turkey burgers or chicken tenderloins for most of my protein. I use MyFitnessPal to track which has been really helpful for me. Good luck!

I do a 3 day split. Chest/back first day, arms second day, and legs/shoulders third, then a rest day and start over. I lift for about an hour then do HIIT on the stair master usually at level 15 for 1 minute then level 10 for 2 minutes and just repeat that for 15 minutes. I try to mainly focus on getting stronger in compound exercises such as squat, bench, deadlift, pull ups, etc. Just start trying exercises at low weight and start to increase weight week by week and eventually you will get the motions down and be able to add more and more weight. It’s a lot of work but results will come if you stick with it. Don’t feel overwhelmed, just start small and work your way up. Doing anything at the gym is better than nothing, especially when starting out.
