Hi guys thought i'd reply on this thread rather than create a new one.
I've setup a diet of 2,000 calories I want to try and get as lean as possible just to see how far I can take this.
I have a two day split I would vary it more but simply I don't like taking too much time for cooking and preparing food and if I eat more mixed food it'll just get too complicating for me and a lot of the foods i'll be buying will be going off unless I go to the supermarket daily and I don't have the time at the moment.
This is what I generally aim to eat daily but i'll be honest I end up cheating pretty much everyday I lack discipline so i'll always fall off and end up having a chocolate bar and a packet of crisps but I'm still as lean as I've been doing this for a few months even after some huge binges over the weekends (which I just put down to carbing up days
).
My question is some days when I may be out all day wining and dining or if I'm away for the weekend I will be buying meals out and just using MyFitnessPal enjoying my meals.
If I was to meet my protein and fat requirements early on and still have say 800 calories what would be the difference if I was to go way over my fat and protein requirements and just skimp on carbs?
I will still get weight loss and retain muscle i'm presuming if I meet my protein requirements and stay in a calorie deficit however would eating a lot more fats and a little more protein affect my body composition or is it not really that important?
