I have been bodybuilding for three years. Awesome girl. I have good muscle but too much fat. It happens. I want to lean out without losing my hard one muscles. I bought your Jesse's girls musclebuilding program. I think your calorie allotment of the muscle building diet is too high. Oh, isn't that it? Thank you for your thoughts. It's not very bad. You have too much fat in your opinion and you have really good muscle. I think that's awesome. And your opinion is that the calorie amount in the program is too high. I didn't just pick a number out of a hat for you and say this is what I think you should be doing. It is right actually. I did not invent the formula that's in the book. You can find that anywhere on the internet. You take that BMR calculation that is worldwide accessible and you multiply it by a number based on your activity level which I also did not invent and that gives you your maintenance amount. That gives you the calorie amount that you need to be eating based on your body, your age, your height, your weight and your activity level. After you put in all of those accurate numbers and came out with a calorie amount, that calorie amount is what you're telling me is too high. Well, it's not and I didn't come up with that number for you. I just showed you how to get to that number the right way. So hey, come on in and say hi. Oh, happy nap you and pumpkin were napping. Yeah. A little fuzzy napord guy. You're so mischolored. I'm telling very best. You check out our new weights. It works. It's a 45. Oh right. Just a 45. I can throw it like a Frisbee. Oh my god. Frisbee. Wow. You're a really good nap. Oh my god. What a freak. It's not wrong. You just aren't eating enough. I feel like this this ass Jesse is all about bad news. I'm sorry girls. I'm glad you're asking the questions, but Mary Beth it's not too high. If you want to just burn fat, then fine. Be in a deficit. Take 150 calories out of that every few weeks and you will burn fat. I'm paramedic. You will burn fat. But you said you don't want to lose any muscle because you worked really hard for it. And so therefore you think my calorie amount that I had you calculate is too high. And it might be, again, I didn't calculate it for you. I just gave you the road to calculate it on and the end result was based on your body and your stats. If you want to burn some of the fat that you lose some of the fat that you say you have too much of, then yeah, you need to be in a deficit. But that is going to come at a cost and that cost is a little bit of muscle. So unfortunately you cannot pick whether you gain fat or muscle. Cell is a cell and when you are in a surplus you are going to grow and you are going to put on muscle which is freaking fantastic, but you are also going to put on fat and you cannot pick either one. Okay, when you are in a deficit you are going to burn off things and lose weight. And the reason I say weight instead of fat is because when you are in a deficit you work absolutely going to lose fat. You can lose muscle too. That's why I love maintenance because it's just like this little line that we just get to walk and we're happy and we're like slowly losing fat and slowly building muscle. We just walk this beautiful little line of happiness. It's like a rainbow color fine. It's so beautiful and happy. And the only thing that is hard about that happy line is patience. Fitness competition, riding that mind the whole time without ever cutting out any calories. That's why we cut out calories. It different phases in the Justice Girls programs. Guess your riding is nice and a line and it's just all about balance. I mean everything in life. If you go to one extreme over here, all the way to this extreme way over here, there's consequences of that. Sure, you get all the way to this extreme and you're super happy with this little thing you focused on over here. All these things that you kind of just flew past, they suffered a little bit. And that's how you need to look at it. So it's your choice. You just have to decide if you want to cruise on maintenance. If you want to be in a deficit you're going to lose fat which is awesome but you're also going to lose muscle. You can do that really slowly too which is great. That's what we do in muscle building and bikini body and the home addition. You can do it too fast which isn't part of any program I do because doing it too fast sends your body into shock. It can't keep up with you. It's going to burn muscles, it's going to burn fat. You're going to be really unhappy. You can do everything too quickly. You can add in all the food and you're going to gain muscle. You're going to gain fat. You're going to put on weight and you're not going to like your body. So that happy rainbow that I want you to walk on straight is really where it's at but you just have to decide what's most important. That figure show in 14 weeks. I promise you it's not that important because their show is all over all the time. They're always going to be there. Okay. Always. So that's my advice. Sorry. I feel like a grinch or something. Sorry. I'll do a happy ass just next. Alright I'm going to work out. Love you girls.
