Gaining muscle on a calorie deficit is quite hard (with the exception of some obese people). Gaining muscle is an ANABOLIC process. Calorie deficit is a CATABOLIC process. They oppose each other, so you option may come down to recomp. However recomp is a long and tedious process with muscle gain being very slow. There are lots of threads on recomp here.CaitlinWeatherford1 wrote: »I have a question about my calories and building weight, so I'm currently running around 4 miles a day just added 1 more today to make it 5 and I'm not sure if I'm getting enough calories. my husband says I'm not my deficit runs around 500 + i'm not necessarily wanting to lose more weight but am trying to tone up and get rid of my stubborn MoMA pooch do I need to add more calories (basically what is a good calorie deficit to stick to to help gain muscles)

I have. 35+ years in the business with over 700 clients. I'll just say that if you have advice and it gets scrutinized, give the reason why you give it. In fact, I've also learned things here from others being on here for over 10 years. I'm good at what I do, but I'm also willing to learn from others if what they are touting has legit scientific back up to it. I don't know it all. There are likely some who are much better in knowledge in certain areas of fitness and health than myself. Remember if you ain't learning, you ain't growing.sandboxfitness wrote: »I’m here to help ppl; you can disagree with the advice I give; if they want to take it, fine; if not that’s fine too. it’s free and free speech.

Actually crunches (when done correctly) are okay for spinal fusion.

Regular Crunches, do them every 2 days. 100 every morning and leg raises 100 as well. Also do planks if your spine can handle it
Regular crunches and leg raises for someone with spinal fusion? And planks for someone with recent shoulder surgery and currently has frozen shoulder? I'd be much more concerned with the shoulder handling planks vs the spine. The plank is GENERALLY considered safe post spinal fusion recovery (check with the professionals you're working with).

How much water is too much? I generally drink 12-15 glasses a day and in warmer weather as of now I think I'm drinking more. I think I lost count today

I like to lift heavy, full body routine similar to stronglifts 5x5, twice per week. I also do cardio daily(step, kickboxing, running, etc). When I don't have access to heavy weights, are dumbbells and body weight exercises enough to keep up my strength and muscle mass? I'm looking at following Sydney Cummings Summertime Fine 3.0 on YouTube. I don't track my calories, but I do try to incorporate protein into my meals and snacks, even when vegetarian.1

I’m not sure how aren’t you hitting your protein goal? Drink more protein shakes or what you have. Instead of 2 scoops; add 3. Add 4..
Is the reason that you aren’t hungry or you can’t use lots of vegan protein powder because it’s expensive?
What’s the reason
3-4 scoops of protein powder?? Is that ok? Direction to use is only 2-3 scoops a day. I'm not a big fan of it and it is expensive. I'm new to protein powders.
Yea it’s ok; it’s vegan protein; it’s food.. in form of powder.1 -
I got the one for you.
I’m just starting out on an attempted “lean bulk” aiming for a steady 10% calorie surplus, obviously with a progressive strength training program.
It was my 10 year anniversary on Saturday and I had what you might call a “cheat day”. Three course lunch at a fancy restaurant, followed by drinks and catchup with friends, and a takeaway to finish the day. My next day estimate was about 6000 calories (I’m aiming for 3300 per day).
What’s the best way to limit the damage? Eat at deficit for the next week to “balance out”, accept that my gains may not be optimal this week, or somewhere in between?
(A one-off but it got me wondering)
no; don’t dwell on it. There’s no need to fix anything, get back on track.4 -

I mean one could argue form failure vs muscle failure, but that is not the point of this post. There is ample research that suggest even going to an Rpe of 7-8 can be more than sufficient to build muscle. Volume can be used in the form of drop sets and rest pause sets, for those who are on time constraints. Hell, from what I have seen. Untrained lifter can pretty much make gains going the bare minimum and just need to be consistent with workouts. Honestly, I am not the "lifting" expert. More of the, "what drives a human to eat guy.", so I am not even going to approach you on dietary advice. Best wishes. I hope you succeed on trying to help people.
It’s a huge debatable topic. that’s what worked for a lot of my clients; and so I implant it. gaining some muscle vs gaining muscle to reach potential0 -

It’s hard to tell you when I know nothing about your fitness plan or calorie intake
But in general the scale is not a good measurement of progress; it’s one of the options to track progress but not the best.
Take pictures every week and compare them together.
If you started a weight lifting program when you start dieting; you could be gaining muscle mass especially if you worked out so little in the past.
Maybe a week? Always weigh the same day every week upon waking up, weighing everyday will discourage you.
Sometimes on paper the calorie intake is good but in real life it doesn’t translate.
What I would do; finish the week strong; weigh in the morning : I would suggest Sunday, if you didn’t lose weight; I’d decrease 100 calories from carbs or add a cardio session of 30 min.
Rule of thumb; don’t drop calories unless your weight isn’t moving for 2 weeks
How much muscle mass do you think someone would gain in a week?
Not much, but if you been dieting and exercising for a while when dieting; you’ll gain enough to stall your weight loss.
I can show you a video of one of the people I coached, she went from 170 to 165 a totally different physique.
It’s mind blowing.
I have no doubt that one can undergone remarkable physical transformations through fitness, I just didn't think it was the issue at play here if someone hasn't lost in "maybe a week."
It’s very hard to answer “why I didn’t lose weight” questions if I’m not responsible for your fitness plan or know nothing about it.
But I can tell why maybe you few reasons why you didn’t lose weight..
I hope you guys understand
It can be hard!
Within seven days or less without weight loss, I think unrealistic expectations (as in, someone expects to immediately and rapidly lose weight) would be more likely than muscle gains. If exercise is the culprit in such a short period of time, we're probably looking at water retention related to new fitness routines.
Water retention related to new fitness routines is the most likely culprit in my mind as well, based on what I have seen here on the forums and my own experience of GAINING seven pounds when I started weightlifting.
The answer invariably lies somewhere on this chart:

I certainly would be the last to disagree or agree with you because I have NO experience.
All I'm trying to do is maintain my weight and remain active in my life. I'm 67, feel good, no major problems with my health. I'm not a strong person, no lifting or anything like that, just want to get rid of the flab from my belly.
Healthy weight but four children, plus a life of yo-yo dieting and my stomach never deflated.
What do you think about using the hula hoop to whittle the waist area down a little but? Or just plain walking(lots of up and down hills where I live).

Honestly hun; any movement is good. Stay active; stay healthy.. enjoy life. don’t focus too much on anything else but your health and well being.
Walk, play with your grandkids, hula hoop.. keep moving everyday. your heart will appreciate it.

there’s few problems here
-you don’t track your calories
-you have limited equipment
-you try to incorporate protein and don’t know how much you’re getting.
Let’s fix this
-track calories and stay in a calorie surplus
-track protein intake and keep it 1g of lean body weight
You might not be able to keep 100% of your strength but muscle memory is great and you’ll get there when you do get back into your heavy lifting3 -

What?!?! Is someone threatening my dislike throne. I guess I need to step it up....
Best advice.... keto is the only way to lose weight, but you cant eat meat, because it causes cancer. Besides, protein destroys your kidneys. We all know the law of thermodynamics is BS, but you have to eat no more than 1200 calories a day to lose weight, but none of it after 6pm. It can only be eaten inside a 15 minute window, after noon, and there can be NO artificial sweeteners! If you dont follow those exact rules, it all goes to fat! All hair the savior, Dr. Fung! Only men can lift weights, it makes ladies "bulky", besides cardio is for Beta males. Did I miss anything? I wrote this not wearing a mask with a tshirt that says anti vax is right. Now... maybe I will get my throne back... or banned.
