5ft 2 138lbs 25%
Maintenance 1345
(she is not familiar with dieting, only eating good foods)
her goal is the scale weight of 120-125.
her cardio is 5days per week and pretty intense from stair steppers to full out 45 min runs , all what most consider great cardio. Some high intensity resistance training.
I think her problem is lack of food , just by taking a peek it seems way to low ( starvation/storing mode)
Her response:
i dont count cals nor have i really ever close to it id write everything down but never counted calories. right now just been cereal in the morning lunch chicken with broccoli or aspargus sometimes snack after work depends. dinner usually broccoli or asapargus n fish or chicken.
My problem I see is her maintenance is so low to begin with I normally do not like to see anyone below 1300.
As of right now she looks to be way under, just off the top of my head that doesn’t even look like 1000 cals.
My fear is bumping her to or above maintenance she may gain and get scared?
What do you suggest I start her at?
Macro Im planning is 50/30/20, possible even 60/20/20 as she seems to be very very sensitive to carbs from personal experience.
Any help guys/gals?
