F/32 - Would love some advice on what would be best to help me achieve my weightloss and better mental health goals.
- CALORIES: 1200cal a day (I’m 5”4, I’m not restricting any foods, just trying to up protein & veggies). I’ve more energy & it feels like it’s working for me
- EXERCISE: I have a stressful corporate job & a toddler so the only time I can exercise is at night approx 2 hours post evening meal. Each day I either do a HIIT workout approx 20-35 mins long, or a brisk incline walk for 30mins followed by some basic 4lb weightlifting. If I’m tired I take a rest day.
My dilemma - I’m not eating a post workout snack because I’m not hungry, I prefer to use my calories for a more fulfilling family dinner and I achieve 12 hour intermittent fasting overnight. BUT I keep reading that more muscle burns calories more effectively, assisting weightloss and therefore I need to eat post workout to build muscle.
Due to family and work commitments, I cant change my evening workout times to the morning in order to have both the overnight intermittent fasting AND post work snack.
For max calorie deficit, do I - 1) prioritise the overnight intermittent fasting and keep skipping the post workout snack 2)have a snack post workout even though I’m not hungry and my dumbbells are light weight just now?
Would love any insights; cheers guys!
