[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP with an update: I just met with a sports nutritionist who looked at my goals, current diet, bloodwork, sleep habits, reported stress level, and DEXA. It was extremely motivating and helpful.

Her recommendations were all about gaining lean muscle. She felt that losing fat should not be my priority because that will happen naturally by gaining muscle.

Her recommendations:
- 1500 calories and 112g of protein daily, never to dip below 1400 or 100g of protein
- Do not calorie cycle (eating more on lifting days) just try to be consistent
- Plan out meals and track in the mornings so I’m not eating a pile of chicken before bed
- Eat more soluble fiber (snack every afternoon or after dinner) and drink more water throughout the day
- Prioritize rest by sleeping at least 6-7 hours a night
- Lift no more than 4x a week, alternating muscle groups so each gets 2-3 days of recovery, and taking a week off of lifting every 7-8 weeks.

These recommendations are meant for me based on my goals, but I’m sharing in case they are helpful to others.
