I just started a 12 week challenge at my local gym where the person who has the largest change in their body (muscle mass or fat) wins first prize. Im trying to compete in this but have no idea what I'm doing
I'm a 21 year old female and I weigh 152 lbs. Right now my body fat percentage is around 27%. Ideally I'd like to be able to both lose fat and gain muscle, but I'm not sure if this is possible. I'm aiming to eat about 1500 calories a day of at least 50% protein. I'm also doing strength training at the gym.
I've been so tired lately from the diet that I feel like I'm not eating enough, and I'm afraid that I'm going to start losing all of weightlifting progress if I keep this up. Do I need to be eating more or doing something different? Or should I just stay on track with what I'm doing now?
Tl;Dr: Will eating a calorie deficit mess up my weightlifting progress
