Comment on How exactly does one eat 1500 calories a day?
chrischryse@lemmy.world 4 months agoI don’t care for protein powder, I’d rather eat actual protein but just curious if it could work lol but what you say about the protein makes sense.
And I’m currently 240 lbs I’m lifting weights because I want to get muscle, help improve my health, and from waht I know muscle can help you lose fat (unless I’m misunderstanding).

Muscle mass burns more calories at rest but the effect is very slight. Eating back any calories from exercise will absolutely outweigh any slight change in base total energy expenditure.
Focus first of what you eat, then sustainable exercise, then specific tuning of both.
