In regards to my diet, I eat 5 times a day every 3 hours always trying to keep fats low. My diet is about 55%C/25%P/20%F (around 2000 calories/day) My guess is that with proper dieting and exercising muscle will grow and fat should decrease however I wouldn't mind advise from people who've been doing this for years with proven success. Is Cardio at 65% of my target HR ok? or should I go higher to increase my caloric consumption? I've heard that higher HR% means consuming carbs calories rather than fat calories thus reducing lean muscle mass? Any thoughts? With thanks, Amsa |

Once you give us adefinative answer as to what you want we can comment on your macros. As for cardio it is said that @ 75% mhr you will not only burn the most fat but you will also burn the most calories. At 50% mhr rate 50% of your calories burner are from fat calories but the total number of calories is very low. At 75% mhr only 30% of those calories are fat calories but b/c you burn so many more calories you are actually burning more fat cals then at 50%. It also has to do with the total calorie expenditure over the entire week...the more calories you burn the better. |
