Q&A: Do I Need to Count Macros, Lifting for Fat Loss, Protein Intake

Update: 2020-12-10

Description

Answered here: “It’s hard to meet my macros AND my calories. Is it ok to eat until I’m full and not count macros until my metabolism is high enough that I can eat more calories?” “Lost almost 50 pounds counting calories. I want to keep losing fat but I want to gain muscle. It seems like that is nearly impossible to do at the same time. I'm running 5 miles 5 times a week and am getting faster and stronger as a runner. I'm three workouts into the starting strength program. Should I stop doing the starting strength program and just keep trying to lose weight and then start trying to gain muscle? Any advice?” “What should my target daily protein intake be in comparison to my target weight when focusing on lean muscle mass?”
