You asked, I answered, so…I’m doing another FUN fitness Q&A!In today’s episode, I’m covering everything from building muscle and calorie deficits, to macro tracking, progressive overload, and training smarter. Basically, if you've been wondering what you should actually be doing with your fitness right now, there's probably something in this episode for you!I'm also answering your questions about calorie deficits, transitioning into maintenance, increasing carbs, and balancing macro tracking with your actual hunger and fullness cues. As we head toward fall and build season, we're going to keep digging deeper into how to eat, train, and build muscle intentionally. No rushing, and no trying to change your entire body in one season.
