Get it Queen! I'm right there with you.

Hey Queen. It's E-meals 🙂

...it means you are gaining muscle mass. A better way to track you progress would be measuring yourself, tracking your strength level in your workouts, or taking pictures. If you get freaked out by the scale numbers, avoid it for now. Barre is awesome for building lean muscle..great choice. Make sure you are getting enough rest days...this is also really important for muscle recovery and growth. You are doing great...with a few tweaks you should see changes over time...be patient with yourself...and adjust gradually so you can see what is working and what may need tweaking. Good luck on your journey...feel free to reach out if you have any questions in the future.

Atanis Almanzar No problem. Some things to keep in mind...you need those calories to meet your current goal. You are trying change your body's composition to have more muscle and less fat, and muscle requires more energy to grow. If you under eat, you might be slowing down your progress. Weight loss and building muscle are two different approaches...your focus is eating more...specifically protein and healthy carbs. A good way to increase your calorie intake is to have high protein snacks before and after your workouts to help with muscle growth and recovery. Good for you for consuming healthy fats! But you do want to reduce these a little until you hit your goals...I LOVE avocados so I totally get it lol...but they are packed with fat calories so cutting back until you hit your goal and you are in maintenance phase would be helpful. Also, do not fear gaining weight...weight gain is actually a positive thing at this stage in your journey...

Hey Queen! You still managed your workout so I call that a win!! Check out this video for a little encouragement along with some nutrition guidance for days like this. ❤️

Yeeesss! ❤

Good morning Queen! Congratulations on your weight loss so far! You are doing the damn thing! I'm the nutrition coach for QW so I wanted to offer some insight. Since your goal is to tone and build muscle, Your meals should be high protein and high carb with protein being the bulk of your macros. Your carb intake should consist of complex carbs....so foods high in fiber...fruits...veggies...and whole grains( sweet potatoes are excellent for post workouts since they contain a good amount of healthy carbs). Stay away from processed carbs like sugary sweets. I'm not sure what your calorie intake is...but make sure you are not cutting too many calories if you want to maintain muscle. Depending on your size...your deficit should be between 100-500 calories max. The small deficit will help to target fat loss while maintaining muscle. Also, Im not sure if you are lifting weights...but if not, I would add them to your routine and replace one of your weekly cardio workouts. Weight will help to build lean muscle. Keep in mind that spot reducing fat is not possible...your body will burn fat throughout your whole body...genetics plays a part in what areas you will see fat loss first. Just work the muscle groups you want to build muscle in and as you lose fat over time you will see gains eventually 💪🏾. I hope this helps queen!👑

Always killing it! And thank you :)
