This is for again my fiance I made her a diet similar to mine (of course 2,000 less cals ) in a normal macro split about 1.5 months ago ( which i posted on here) 40/40/20 split
She didnt like it. it was slightly high on the cals 1200ish or so, very clean like mine, sweet potatoes, brown rices, eggs whites so on so forth normal clean diet food we eat. She didnt drop much mainly she couldnt stick to the food types and time to prep food.
overall calories seem low for your gal and suggest moving into the 1300 - 1500 range. she is not going to be eating enough food at the lower levels and make the body think it needs to old onto the body fat for energy stores.
So Im taking a stab at a whole new route. food she will actually eat ( try not to poke fun) im keeping it real as i know what she will eat so it will nto be what I or you would eat.
Stats again
TDEE is mathematically is about 1600-1700 ( I on the other hand know her activity level and what she eats and she hold well at 1300 +-100
The TDEE caluculations come out too high for gals, so you are smart to adjust downward
5ft 2 138-142lbs BF mid 20s I can post a pic again if need be 28yrs old
goal weight 6-8 weeks 125 she would be the happiest girl on the planet. ( lil small for my liking but if shes happy so am i )
she may decide that 125 isn't the right number once she starts cutting bf
Based on her stats I came up with this math: 1450 calories daily with p/c/f split at 60/20/20
p c f
calories 872 291 291
cal per g 4 4 9
grams 218 73 32
Next Im going HIGH PROTEIN to maintain as much muscle as we can on the T3 being very catabolic , low carbs and low fat. (objective is im trying to break up fat stores and starving her of carbs and fats ( Notice i throw a few more cals with carbs on lift days. I still get essential fats.
Consider a 60/20/20 split. I would hold off on the T3...you know my reasons why
t3/ Clen
everything on hand I am working on the dosing ) back why i did it i used a pyramid effect 20 and work up and back down ( i think this is old research and most people go up to max level and then take off two weeks to renew receptors then start again at the high level 2 weeks on 2 off.
t3 going to start small 25 and quickly ramp up to 100ed?
PLEASE CHIME IN ON THIS ( i dont like the idea of her being on t3 as i have never done it) this is what she wants and i tried to talk her out of it.
