I have been training for 2 months now, lost 2 inches pretty much everywhere, and lost 7 pounds. Im doing brazil butt lift and weights also. My question is, I was eatin 1300 calories, but notice that I was losing muscle, so I upted my calorie intake to 1500. Is that enough to get muscle? Im always looking online to find a site that says what the miss fitness women eat and how much, but cant find anything. And If anybody could help, That would be great. Also, Im 38, weigh 115 , and Im 5'4. Maybe there is a site out there that can help me. Thx, Delcy Attachments:

Hi Delcy!
You can google "caloric intake calculator" and you'll find several ways to calculate how many calories to consume. The problem is, to burn the fat, we need to be in the caloric deficit. When we are in a deficit for more than 3-4 days, our body thinks we are starving and starts retainig the fat (as energy storage) and burning the muscle (because muscles require a lot of energy by just being there). This is how we are programmed to survive through long periods of starvation. So you need to trick your body. Every 4-5 days have a re-feed day when you are actually eating a bit more (20%) than your BMR. This technique should help you retain the muscle.

Hello i just want to say that caloric measure is something you would be calculating easily via google help. All i want to add is that for your fat you can try squats as it focuses 9 muscles of your body at once and is really a worthy exercise. I have practised and learned it a weeks ago so thought to share with you.
