I've been following along with your workouts and I've noticed that when I do eat carbs I have a lot more energy to push through the workouts. I even can keep up with you which blows my mind!! What I am noticing is that food really is fuel, not only for exercising but for studying since I'm still in college. Thank you for posting this. Very helpful, really. You are such a great role model!

I am wanting to do a bikini competition soon, and you have made it so easy! I'm going to following your workouts for the next three months starting Monday. The food part will be a bit more challenging for me. Right now I'm eating about 1400 calories/day and need to increase that #. Thanks for having this site. I'm very grateful--in my opinion, it's some of the VERY best information out there. Again, muchas gracias!Tiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17754307031569961920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939778559757265648.post-70305102297440193142013-10-15T04:40:43.955-07:002013-10-15T04:40:43.955-07:00hi melissa, been browsing through your site and i ...hi melissa, been browsing through your site and i must say i am super inspired to be fitter than ever before! <br /><br />i'm wondering though, do you change your macros depending on whether you work out on the day, or do you usually keep it consistent all throughout? i tend to increase fat intake while lowering carb intake on non-weight training days, would you say that this is a bad idea?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939778559757265648.post-84081579026931577832013-10-12T08:05:23.563-07:002013-10-12T08:05:23.563-07:00The lowest my carb intake ever got was about 150 g...The lowest my carb intake ever got was about 150 grams, typically closer to 250.
