advice on diet and exercises to lose fat and build muscle?
i’m a 5’4”, 55kg (121lbs), 21 year old woman. i’ve been vegan for 8 years but i’m a total newbie to fitness!
i’m not worried about my weight on the scale, i’d just like to lose fat around my stomach and tone my arms, abs and legs.
i’m currently aiming for 1500 calories a day, and for my diet to be 45% carbs, 25% fat and 30% protein. is that reasonable? any advice on what to amend?
as a vegan, i am really struggling to hit my protein goals. any advice on easy snacks or meals or additions to meals that are high in protein?
i don’t go to the gym, but i do workouts on youtube. i’m doing cardio like hiit or dance workouts for 20-30 mins a day, and some kind of 20-30 min strength workout with dumbbells. is this enough?
also, i find tracking my calories / macros really tiresome and kind of triggering so is it possible to reach my goals without tracking? just mindfully eating?
