I’m clueless.
So, I’ve successfully lost 18 pounds, yippee! With that, I am four pounds away from my goal weight. However, I’m still not particularly thrilled about how my body looks.

Good food vs bad food
Quite new to this, but what I don’t get is why lots of people say to eat things like peanut butter and avocados for ‘good fats’. What’s the difference between this and eating food like cheese? Will eating cheese make me look worse, or do avocados just have more health benefits in terms of risk of heart disease etc and…

How much protein per day for reducing body fat
Currently my nutritions are 45,30,25 with 141g of protein on non-workout days. That being said, the amount of protein per day for building muscle is 1 multiply by weight, I'm at 57kg, so does that mean I'm only allowed 57kg of protein a day? Is that correct? It seems too little.

Annoying pants with muscle gains
Hey there! I have been lifting heavy for a while now and have had some gains in my thighs and butt.

Gym renovations and cybernetic periodization
My gym is undergoing renovations and I recently found out where they are moving the heavy equipment will have no mirrors (squat racks, deadlifts) Is it worth it for me to change my program to avoid heavy lifts while they don't have any mirrors?
