Reorientations Days 6-8 and Macros Re-Revisted

I just wanted to post a quick update to say that my last two days have gone really well and I plan on keeping it up today too. So, what's changed?

Food logging!

After figuring out my macros, I've been able to plan my meals quite meticulously. I am one of those people who loves being super organised so this actually been a treat and not a chore (unlike chugging down my post-workout protein shake).

My carbs have been around the 20g mark and I've been meeting my calorie and macro goals.

However, I've decided to push my protein higher on workout days and have been hitting around 145g which works out to be around 2g per g of body weight which I think is much more ideal.

Also, I've decided to cycle my total calories and allow myself to hit 1690 on workout days!

So far it has been working. I can tell that I've been looking leaner and the scale has been telling me some positive things (I know I shouldn't trust it).

Plus, I'm still making progress with my lifts!
