Hey everyone,
Have a question around nutrition if there is anyone here that can help me please.
I am 114kg as of today, 195cm 41 year old male.
I’m training 6 days a week across, the three tri disciplines with double sessions on some days.
My question is around nutrition.
I have started a meal plan this week which is
KCAL 2500
CARB 250
PROTEIN 220
FAT 70
Is this the right amount for me if I am looking to try and lose 1KG a week?
When I use the BMR calculator I get the below caloric needs
Sedentary - 2591
Exercise 1-3 times - 2968
Exercise 4-5 times - 3162
Daily exercise or intense 3-4 times - 3346
Intense exercise 6-7 times a week 3724
Very intense exercise daily or physical job - 4102
I feel I am fitting into one of these 2 Exercise 4-5 times - 3162/Daily exercise or intense 3-4 times - 3346 so I should have a deficit of 600 - 800 a day?
However, I started this week but I have actually put 1KG but I feel very bloated so I don’t know if switching to a healthier diet would cause me to hold water/bloat/ constipation initially?
Many thanks, any advice welcome.
