Hey folks,
Apologies in advance for the classic newbie question.
I'm about to start the Beginner Template and I'm just looking for some input as to what my calories/macros should look like.
Stats
Sex: Male
Age: 33
Height: 5'11"/181cm
Weight: 184lb/83.4kg
BMI: 25.3 (overweight)
Waist: 38in (letting it all hang out
). The scales 'estimate' that I'm ~20% BF but I realise there's a margin for error there.
Training History: Very inconsistent, hence the Beginner Template. My numbers are so dismal that I won't even bother posting them. Suffice to say, I'd be classified as a novice/beginner.
As you can probably tell, I'm sort of stuck in the old 'skinny-fat' quandary. I'm soft around the edges with not a whole lot of muscle mass to work with.
I've read Jordan's TBAB article and my query is whether I should try for the coveted recomp, focus more on getting my waist measurement down and possibly compromise some initial strength/muscle gains in the process or (unlikely as it may be) just focus on building an initial foundation of strength/muscle and then worry about fat loss afterwards.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
