Fellas,
Any of you guys ever build a diet for a pregnant woman who want to trim up at the same time? I've build lots of cutting diets for both male and female but never had to throw pregnancy in the mix. Is that even a safe thing to do? My usual protocol start my clients at a 10% deficit but if we have a baby in the mix could a logical solution be to add the calories the baby needs to the total TDEE and drop 10% off that number? Or is maintenance a better solution to just avoid excess weight gain?
This is a new one for me.
