I’ve lost 10% body fat and gained 3 lbs of muscle. The scale has stayed consistent for the last few 3 weeks though. What can I do to get the scale moving again? For reference, I’m 5’6” 120 lbs. I was previously eating 1100 calories and now I’m eating 1500. My current macros are 160g protein, 60 g fat and 80 g carbs. I strength train 3 days a week and do intervals on the treadmill 3 days a week as well.(19:55) - When you have a client who can only work out 3 days a week, would you typically give them 3 full body days? What would be the pros/cons of giving them say maybe an 8 week program of 3 lower body days and then switching to upper body or something to focus more on those goals?(26:30) - If volume is equated, is there a detriment to split up my workouts to twice a day? As a busy mom, I can't spend an hour continuously working out, but I can work in two 30 minute sessions—-Social Links:Blog – http://www.tailoredcoachingmethod.com/blogFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/tailoredcoachingmethodInstagram -https://www.instagram.com/codymcbroomYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/codymcbroom1Email – info@tailoredcoachingmethod.comCody McBroom Has Also Been Featured On: Huffington Post, Bodybuilding.com, The PTDC,Dr. John Rusin, Muscle For Life, Barbell Shrugged, Strong By Design, OPEX Fitness andMore…

What is your ideal pre/post workout nutrition (macros) for this situation? I am currently in a deficit and time pre workout is limited so I try not to have a full meal, but do make sure to have a few carbs/protein ~12g protein and ~15g carbs pre workout in the morning (~30 minutes pre) just to have something. Am I currently wasting calories with this? Or would more nutrients provide more benefit with this scenario? I also have 5-10g fat, ~40g protein and ~40g carbs post workout and I’m not sure if it makes a difference but I do consume ~30g protein and ~30g carbs as my last meal/snack before bed.19:25 - Thoughts on the idea that your body can only absorb 20-30g of protein per sitting?28:40 - How can I be more productive?—-Social Links:Blog – http://www.tailoredcoachingmethod.com/blogFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/tailoredcoachingmethodInstagram -https://www.instagram.com/codymcbroomYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/codymcbroom1Email – info@tailoredcoachingmethod.comCody McBroom Has Also Been Featured On: Huffington Post, Bodybuilding.com, The PTDC,Dr. John Rusin, Muscle For Life, Barbell Shrugged, Strong By Design, OPEX Fitness andMore…

And why? What did that book (or books) teach you that was so profound?22:15 - How do you find your new maintenance calories when changing your training style? Say, coming from marathon training to training for hypertrophy? Obviously energy expenditure is lower, so how do we find a new maintenance calorie level?29:20 -     I am a 5’6, 135lb  female and have been working out with weights for about 3 years. 6 days on and 1 day off. My macros have varied over that time... I would go from tracking religiously at 140 protein, 160 carbs, and 50 fats, to not tracking as closely but also not binging, as I’m pretty smart about my food choices. However even at my leanest I still did not have the six pack abs I want. I could see ribs and hip bones but not defined abs at 122lbs. I will be 50 in three months and of course have a big trip planned. Is this something that is obtainable at this time frame? Are there any bits of advice that you can offer to achieve this goal?
