Hi, I'm a 21 year old female. I recently went on keto for 6 weeks, then shifted to a normal healthy/clean diet, and lost 17-18 pounds total. I am now down to 130 lbs and am 5' 9. I feel like I dont have that much body fat that I would like to lose, except maybe a little bit of belly fat. I have just gotten into working out more and doing weight training, and would really like to gain a little more muscle mass and look toned/ muscular (but not trying to get really big or anything). Usually, when i go to the gym i do cardio for about 10 minutes to warm up, then do weight machines and exercises with free weights for the remainder of the time. My heart rate normally stays up for the whole exercise and I am pretty beat afterwards.
What kind of diet should I follow in order to lose weight (or at least keep the fat off) while also achieving my goal of gaining some muscle? At the time being, I probably eat around 1,300-1,600 of calories on a non-workout day, and 1,800-2,100 calories on days that I work out. I don't try to do this on purpose, I just eat when I feel hungry and I'm always so much more hungry after working out. I also try to eat more protein on days I work out. I'm afraid of putting fat back on, but I am also afraid I'm not feeding my body enough to build muscle.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
