I'm used to eating less carbs and more proteins on the no-exercise day, since resting after stimulus is what makes muscle grow right? (not looking to add muscle but anyways...don't wanna lose either);

does that make sense?

My tip: determine if you want to gain or lose weight, then adjust calories and macros accordingly. From what I can make out, you don't want to lose or gain, in which case just carry on with what you're doing.

thanks for the input.

yeah I don't wanna gain weight right now as I wanna have an ammy fight and preferably at the lowest weight class posible. just read your latest post in Jay's thread and it almost makes me wanna lift again. if I ever fight that fight then I'll see how it goes and consider lifting.

I would reduce the calories burned estimate. If you're 155lbs you're not burning 800 calories doing MT for an hour. Maybe 500.

Those apps always overestimate calories burned.

thanks. I've read somewhere that 1 hour of muay thai burns an average of 1000 calories so I started from that estimate. probably was off it was some random magazine.

I do often end up training sweating in bullets with my shirt soaked.
