Thread: New Poster

Hi

I am new to this forum, I am 44 years old and have been training on and off for 26 years now. I have had a lot of breaks in between, some of them for a few months and the longest break was 4 years.

14 months ago I started to get serious again and am now back to traning 5 days a week and eating right along with taking supplements.

I really am here to get as much information as possible in my quest to be built like a brick s**thouse before I hit 50!

Training Days (5 days per week)

Protein Carbs Fat Calories
322g 185g 58g 2490

Rest Days (2 days per week)

Protein Carbs Fat Calories
200g 75g 45g 1500

I know my numbers look quite low on my rest days, but this seems to work for me, I sit at a desk all day at work and I do not need a load of energy for that. I also feel that it has really helped my metabolism to drop the calories drasticlly a couple days of the week.

Whenever I feel myself feeling a little tired, I usually just up the carbs and fats a little. This has been working so far. I usually have all the energy I need on training days and feel great on rest days.

I have lost weight and put on muscle sticking to this, I sometimes think I should up the carbs and calories sometimes so I am not stifiling any muscle gains, but I am scared of putting on the fat that I have lost.
