Need to recomp but adhd meds and active lifestyle make it hard to eat enough
25m, 5’5 128 lbs. Was 185 a year ago but lifestyle changes + stress + adhd meds aided in weight loss. I work full time, always on my feet 5 days a week, at least 10k steps at work. Before work I go to the gym where I do machine weights for 15-25 mins depending on how much time I have. This is 3-5x a week. Running relieves stress for me so when I get home I usually go on a run outside or on my treadmill for 30min-1hr. Then with household chores I usually end the day with 15k-20k steps. Weekends I want to rest but have so much to do that I end up on my feet all weekend as well.
I track my calories and most days are between 1800-2100, sometimes I get a little more than that, but usually it’s on the lower end or less. My muscles look deflated and I look skinny fat. At this point I’m still losing weight, around 0.5 lbs a week even though I want to recomp. I find I have barely any appetite so it’s been rough. I need to strength train more for sure, but I’ll have more time for that in the summer months since I work in education.
