i always thought you were supposed to do cardio before lifting to 'warm' your muscles or whatever. my ratio average for the past month are 56% fat, 10% carbs, 34% protien. averaging 1033 cals a day... wow, thats bad, huh? if i were to up my calories, would i be better doing it in the form of fat or carbs or protien? probably protien, huh? fine with me... i love chicken. i do avoid the transfats as much as possible, but i have to have my peanut butter... and the natural stuff just doesnt do it for me. so is it better to do more reps and sets of a smaller weight or less of a bigger weight? thank you girls so much.
