Anyone have an idea on macros for muscle maintenance / gain while cutting fat? I’m doing minimal cardio these days. I get in 7-8000 steps per day and lift 4 days a week. 201 lbs, 5’10”, turn 54 super bowl weekend. Keto works for me for weight loss but not for muscle building. Thanks in advance. god bless

maybe give intermittent fasting a go while in keto. minimizing insulin should lower your metabolic target weight and if you are in keto, then you shouldn't see significant losses to lean body mass. You are potentially missing out on some of the anabolic effects of insulin, but you still realize them around your meal(s), which should occur following lifts anyway. Also, intermittent fasting stimulates autophagy, which offers the added bonus of cleaning up unnecessary/harmful tissues like plaques. Google all this stuff, could be complete bullshit, but all seems plausible.
