  • Yup, the guy above. A calculator online isn't going to have the right number for you. Pick a relatively safe intake, try it for a month, then change slightly. You have to experiment with your own body. Be smart and make small 100-200 cal changes, not 500. Also changing your macros versus calories can yield different…
  • I like working synergistic muscles together on the same day. My current split is: Back + bis, chest + tris, glutes + hams, shoulders + abs. You're double hitting each muscle group and a 4-day rotation sometimes allows you to hit the same muscle group 2xs in a week. Works well for me.

  • I recommend paying very close attention to your cravings. Are you craving starchy foods? Sweets? Fats? Creamy things? Salt? Your cravings can actually indicate a deficiency and meeting that deficiency in a healthy way can prevent a binge. I strongly recommend NOT cutting out an entire food group. When you bring it back in…
  • Coconut oil, full-fat lard, nuts. All these are much healthier than beer and doughnuts.
  • Hey girl, just looked at your diary and although your calories are fine, you're eating absolute garbage. Don't take that the wrong way, I'm just telling you what other people on here might not. You need to focus not only on how many calories you're eating, but also WHAT you're eating. Fruit, green veggies, complex carbs…
