Hi guys question for the gym rats nutrition guys.
30 y/o
175cm
Stats last november
82KG
25%bf
mm around 0%
Lifts
Myself, out of bed, most days
Current stats
70kg
bf 17.5%
mm 42%
Max lifts
Squat 107.5
dead 115
bench 60
Now the story and question
I started lifting mostly for improved golf performance ive since dropped 5 shots off my handicap in around 8 months which is great but ive decided I really wanted to look better as well.
My current diet consists of gym and non gym days where I basically eat around 1500 kals on non gym days and around 2000 on gym days with a spare day on saturday when I play golf and normally something at the club more often and not chicken and rice based but as im not doing the portion sizes you guess is as good as mine.
Point is Ive been eating way below what I should be but ive dropped bf weight and generally looking better however every time I try to up calories my bf% sores.
My question really is 2 fold, ive kinda hit the limit on my lifts and muscle mass without eating more however at what I feel is still a high bf% I dont want to be adding more to it so do I either, carry on lifting and eating as is and hope to drop down a couple more % over the next few months before adding mass again or do I say to hell with it no 5ft9 man should way 150 pounds and start lifting and eating like a horse and worry about dropping the belly later?
