At your age I would not want to be doing a specific kcal reduction no. I would look to eat at maintenance, lift hard 4 days per week and stay active on rest days personally

Make sure you have good expenditure day to day, kill those workouts and have fun. You will grow and keep getting better

I completely agree with this too.

I started the day with a short run, then had a really good Leg session this morning after my first meal.

Training has been a little bit hit and miss recently with having my daughter here, which is fine. I’ve still been very active with runs and walks, but prioritising what’s more important right now.

This afternoon I’ve been packing, ready to go away on holiday on Tuesday, which I’m super excited about! I’m really looking forward to chilling with my husband for a few days. Training will probably take a back seat again while I’m away, but I’ll definitely be getting some beach runs in, with plenty of walking.

I agree with Jordan. The aim right now is to stimulate the muscle and keep hold of what you’ve built, so lower the loads and stay within your rep ranges. Don’t force reps you can’t complete

A bit of an emotional day today, saying goodbye to my eldest daughter and her boyfriend as they move on to see friends in Brighton and London, before heading back over to New Zealand for another year. We’ve had such an amazing time together and it was hard to say goodbye, but I know they will continue to make memories and have lots of adventures ahead. We will also hopefully be going out to see them in New Zealand for a few weeks next year.

It sounds like whatever you’re doing now is working and going great, so I wouldn’t change a thing personally.

Hey buddy, my favourite bread is sourdough BUT I would say normal white bread digests better for me.

Thanks Louis

What do you mean normal White bread?

Can it be White toast?[/quote]

White toast is the same as white bread. It’s just white bread, toasted.

Today’s our last full day with our eldest daughter and her boyfriend before they fly back to continue their travels in New Zealand. We decided to head out for the day towards Lulworth Cove and do the coastal walk towards Durdle Door and have a picnic on the beach. We then head into the little town for an explore and ice creams afterwards. Such a beautiful day 🙂

This sounds like a gut issue to me. I’d go and see your doctor for further testing incase you have an underlying infection or dysbiosis.

I got a decent leg session in this morning before spending the rest of the day with my daughter and her boyfriend. They only have 2 more days left with us before they move on to see more friends and then fly back out to New Zealand to continue their adventures.

I personally find sour dough bread light and easy to digest.

Yes I know,but where I live there Is no sourdough bread in stores,we have to make it home 😃[/quote]

Then just find a bread available to you that you like and digests well for you.

While strength is still improving I would hold your bodyweight where it is for 2-3 weeks and see if digestion improves, before deciding what to do next. After this time, you may need a little tidy up before pushing on, or you may feel good to continue. (It’s difficult to advise without seeing pics of how you’re looking).

I would also look to supplement with INSURE before meal 2 and 5 on training days, and meals 2,3 and 4 on rest days.

Possibly consider switching your meal 1 to Cream of Rice, Whey ISO and berries for ease of digestion too. This could be a good post workout meal too

Thanks Clare! I will look into that supplement and switching to those easier digesting sources 👍. By hold body weight, this means take cals down a touch to stop gaining correct?[/quote]

Yes, reduce calories for 2-3 weeks.
