Thanks for the lengthy response and the welcome ! Few questions if I may: 1. Is it that big of a deal if I can’t fit 200g of protein in my daily diet ? I’ll invest in protein supplements if I have to but I’m a bit tight on money at the moment 2. I’m assuming eventually I’ll have to adjust my macros and calorie needs to keep making progress... at what point should I start making adjustments ? 3. What are your thoughts on intermittent fasting and working out while fasted ? I plan to hit the gym In the mornings. Ive already looked into full body weight lifting programs (starting strength) and 3 days a week fits perfectly with my schedule. Can’t wait to hit the gym Monday and get started on this path!

Since I’m new to the forum, I’ll take this time to do a quick little introduction: im 23 5’11 227 as of this morning I am not a total stranger to fitness as I’ve lost weight in the past, but I’m looking to actually put on muscle this time around (I know this is a Fat Loss thread, but just bare with me). As the title states, I have a skinny fat body:so I’m stuck in a weird spot with what I need to do. I’ve read up on calories in vs calories out, caloric surplus, caloric deficit, ect... I just don’t know which direction to start in: Do I cut the fat or do I bulk up. Any advice or guidence would be appreciated, and my apologies if this wasn’t the right place to make this post.
