quote:im lifting about 3 or 4 days per week packing on muscle. Typically 165 is a good weight for me even though it’s just barely in the overweight category of the BMI. If I could get down to 160 while still adding muscle that would probably be ideal.
What are your goals?
Let me know if that’s not answering your question. In short my goal is to get stronger, look ripped and not have a dad bod at the pool this summer. I’ve made good progress in lifting but I do feel like my diet is off. I’ve been packing on protein getting between 1 and 1.25 g/lb per day it’s total calories, carbs and fat where I feel like I’m off. I was doing a low carb diet, kind of a non strict version of keto. Adding carbs back in has been a challenge to know what to eat.
ETA: I don’t want to get strong and also look fat

BMI is unreliable at best for weight trainers. Not surprising you’re “overweight “ if you are packing on muscle...
I recommend a book called Renaissance diet 2.0. It is a great read and is strictly science based and teaches you how to construct a diet based on your goals. It’s for athletes and it echos a lot of the great advice on thread.

MFP is telling me 2580 calories which I have a hard time hitting without feeling like I’m stuffed all day. Right now I’m 5’8” 166 2580 calories is a chore to get through.
There’s gotta be a genetic component to this. Wasn’t there someone posting a week ago that he was feeling full on 1400 calories/day?
Meanwhile, I can easily blow through 3000 calories and still have room for junk food. I’m 5’7 165.

quote:that wasn’t me but I’m at 1400 right now on the day. Factor in the workout and I still have another 1400 to go - no way that’s happening. The most I’m usually able to eat is around 2200 gross calories - add in a run and a lift and I’m at a big “deficit”. I don’t eat junk food or fast food and drink very little alcohol. I’ve actually put on weight since I’ve started tracking it and trying to get the right amount of calories.
