Why the fuck are you at a 1,400 kcal deficit? Keep to like 500-800 kcal deficit.

Yes, lift weights. Yes, do a beginner program. Yes, you can increase your lean body mass as a beginner lifter while losing weight. Yes, you will get stronger as well.

I got confused between which calories figure to trust and ignorantly veered towards the lower one.

>>42244381
Ok I've adjusted my daily to

- 2200-2400 calories
- 60-70 g fat
- 190-200g protein
- 180-200g carb

Thanks for your help mate.

If you want to lift heavier and lose fat at the same time you'll probably want to look into a body recomp. It's very slow and not as easy as cutting or bulking, but well worth it for the fact that you never lose strength.

Stay the same weight.
Do Stronglifts as written.
Pile on the strength gains.

The app knocks off a few hundred calories when I input my exercise days so it's good to know I was sort of doing that anyway.

I'd like to lose these moobs sooner rather than later though.
