Hey guys!
Since this question applies on two forum-topics at once, i created this thread two times in each forum.
Ok, this will be a honest post, so please go easy on me.
In the last few months, i went up from 89 to 100 kg, which probably is about 195 to 220 pounds.
I also lost a lot of muscle mass and gained a lot of fat, and i was honestly surprised of how fast that happened, i am normally used to being able as much as i want without gaining any more weight. I did not eat a lot different than i usually did, the only thing different was that i had to cancel ONE training on wednesday evening because i had to invest a lot of time into college. If that is the main factor, i would be hugely surprised.
I monitored my eating behavior for about 9 weeks and i think i can say that at least every second thing i eat could be considered "unnecessary", with daily intakes peaking at about 3000-4000 and some days only 1000-2000 calories (those days mixed up quite often.)
So here is my question, or idea.
I would love to get back to my feel good + feel fit weight at about 84 kg ( 185 lbs ).
I thought about doing HIIT - Sprints in the morning, about 3 times a week, to burn fat. I do know that a part of the weight i will lose is muscle mass, too, though.
Then, later on, when i can see that i come closer to my old bodyshape, i would like to go specifically for muscle mass.
What i wanted to know: I want to lose fat in a healthy way. Is this idea the right choice? Do you think i should go for fat loss and building muscle mass simultaneously? Of course, i would change my eating habits along also. Would HIIT have an effect on my appetite?
Is HIIT - Sprinting a good choice here? Should i do it more then 3 times a week?
Thanks in advance
