Body Recomp advice
Hello people of this sub, I am new here. I am a male 175cm and 65kg
Some background infos :
Back in January I weighted around 75kg with a visible belly and fat mostly located around the waist (love handles and lower back). I started walking 10-12 k steps everyday + 3 to 4 days weight training. Since then I’ve been on a 1300 cal diet made up by mostly lean protein, vegetables and fruits. I made sure to include healthy fats and carbs like rice and sweet potatoes. Fast forward to the beginning of May, I dropped down to 65kg.
My actual question and need of advice :
My current situation is that I got much leaner than I was back in Jan, abs starting to show (mostly upper abs because lower abs are still covered by a thin fat layer) and overall physique is looking more aesthetic.
Right now I am eating around 1400 calories per day and still walking my 10k steps daily + lifting for about 35 to 40 min 4 times per week. I also train Kyokushin on Saturdays for about 3 hours (mostly drills and sparring).
I am a 1L student, which means I spend most of my time sitting and studying. Had done some research and found out this whole Body Recomp concept and I wanted to give it a go since, from what I’ve read, promises to help build muscle and slowly lose the last bits of fat left.
I feel like I am eating too little to be able to put on some muscles. I tried to calculate my BMR through Mifflin St. Jeor formula (my input was “Moderate Exercise 3-4 times per week”) and the result I got is 2,463 calories/day.
Honestly after all the work it took me to lose fat I am a bit cautious and mindful of what I eat so I would love some advice of what to eat and how many calories daily?
Feel free to say whatever you might think can be useful for my situation, thank you all in advance.
