For the past year and 9 months I’ve been in a calorie deficit eating about 1470 cals a day. Im 5’4 and 21F and have gone from 212lbs to 137lbs. Im starting to do weight lifting since I want to have muscular legs and arms. Recently I’ve started eating around 1000-1200 because I think I developed fear around food after being on a deficit for so long, this isn’t healthy. In order for a beginner to actually start seeing progress with weight lifting, how many cals should I be consuming? Should I stay in a deficit still to get around 130lbs or start eating in my maintenance? Does the amount of protein I’m eating matter with my muscle gain?
