I’m 22, 5’8, 155 lbs, ~11% bf and currently recomping. My target atm is to be around 8-9% bf by June whilst gaining strength until then.
Maintenance for me is 2000-2250 kcal depending on who you ask. Whilst aiming to be consuming a 500 kcal deficit 5 day’s a week and maintenance or maintenance+500 two days a week.
So on deficit days my macro target is p200 c50 f50 . The usual plan is to start eating after my workout and to only have low glycemic meals within 3hours of going to sleep. However, I’m currently abroad on a business trip and will spend 2 week’s visiting family afterwards, and the irregular schedule is making hitting my macros, especially protein, difficult. Recently, I’ve often only managed to get 3 meals in and as any meals within 3hours of going to sleep are low glycemic, I haven’t been hitting p150(-50) c100(+50) f50 either. So on those days I get around p150 c50-75 f50 1250-1350kcal/day
Is this a bad situation for recomping? I’ve been working out 3-4 times a week. If you were in my position what would you do to boost your progress?
