Coach,
I wanted to know if there is a difference in the body's use of the fat you eat in your diet and the fatty acids that are stored while on a strength program.
I'm 5' 5" and 237 lbs. Per day, over 5 meals, I'm getting about 200 grams of protein, about 110-125 grams of carbs, and 50-60 grams of fat. I know my calorie intake is really low, and supposedly not enough for adequate recovery. But why?
Can't the body make up the rest of the calorie deficit for recovery with its stored fatty acids?
I know I'm technically not on your program since I replaced on back squat day with front squat, and I do barbell row instead of cleans since I joined an Olympic lifting program. I started a log:
