for a body recomp, eat right around maintenance. eat about your body weight in grams of protein, 50-60g fat, and fill in the rest with carbs. lift heavy so you can build muscle and burn some fat. you can do cardio a few times a week if you want, but focus on getting steps in every day, drinking enough water, and make sure you’re getting enough sleep and recovery.

hardest part is consistency for me and getting enough protein in🫠 but I’ve lost 20 lbs so far!

You don’t have to, but creatine helps as well. Take 5 grams with a carbohydrate like a juice so it enters your insulin pathways faster and get absorbed into your muscles faster. Also read it helps female hormonal cycles
