Hi,
I am 5'11" and have recently (over the last few months) began a calorie counting diet in
order to reduce my weight which was at 185. I have through this calorie restriction come
down to 173. I have started adding weightlifting to my workout routine to build some muscle
as well as just lose fat. My big question is how do I balance my body's need for calories because
of lifting and my calorie restricted diet? My current calorie restricted diet call for 1800 total
calories in order for me to lose pound a week. Now that I am lifting I want to make sure I
am not to restrictive. I think I need to get to 160 in order to be at my ideal BMI.
