Building Muscle without Carbs or Gaining Fat - Week 4 Update

Today is my 50th birthday and I'm just getting started!

This week I bumped my fat up a little bit ....if you consider 30g a little bit. 😂 At the end of my cut I was at 135g of fat per day. I dropped it to 125g for the first couple of weeks while I increased my protein after it being so low for a while. 

This last week I was shooting for 155g of fat to start locking in my Maximum Energy Threshold (MET). It seems that 145g - 155g is still not enough fuel to halt my fat loss. 

Finding out my MET gives me exact data that I can use to manipulate my energy intake and find a balance between managing body fat and satiety. The idea is to not be hangry or stressed over food too much.
