^^^^^ I agree!! OP please don't listen to this! Any of it!! Just no!

No particular brand of protein will be better for bulking than another. Eat over your TDEE and include plenty of carbs while lifting heavy. Well it's working for me so far anyway :)

I'm currently on 2800cals a day with over 300 carbs included. You can pretty much include ice cream, bagels, etc and don't be afraid of carbs. Carbs will help massively with strength gains and ultimately muscle mass although I agree that your goal is a bit too high lol Send FR and check out my diary for some ideas on food…

And this guy proves why I stay out of the forum unless I'm bored on a nightshift like now. Passed a good 15mins or so for me though. Thanks to my friends on here for the good advice I've been given over the past few months and for keeping me off the path of bro science. I owe all of you my future gains lol

^^^^ this. It's taken me a few increases to finally notice the weight going up and even now on 2800cals it appears to be quite slow. More food required! :)

^^^^^ THIS!!! I can drop 5lbs overnight but wouldn't be advertising as it as a 1 day cut!! lol

I'm currently on 2700 and trying to add some weight back on, was maintaining on 2500 so we'll see what happens over the next few weeks. I've a desk job but lift heavy 4-5 times per week.

Last July I also had around 31% body fat, it's what's called skinny fat. Get yourself on a heavy weight training programme and make sure there's enough protein in your diet. I've eventually brought mine down to around 21%, heavy weight training has burned fat, built muscle and changed my overall body shape. Hope this…

If you're looking to decrease bodyfat and increase muscle definition then I'd suggest a beginner weightlifting programme. There are a few to choose from using the following link. And I'd recommend buying a notebook and recording your sessions, nothing more motivating than seeing your personal progress on paper and gives…

Mine is also open to friends. I weigh and log everything that goes into my mouth and also post my workouts which are 4-5 days per week. If you're expecting a 1200-1500 calorie then maybe I'm not for you though. I weight train so am currently on 2500 calories and this might be increasing again shortly. I sometimes have ice…

LOL you're hardly old. But I agree with everything else you said.

You probably aren't going to tighten up loose skin in a matter of weeks using any sort of diet or exercise plan. To do this, you need to burn fat off and build a good muscle foundation. Cardio alone is just going to burn even more fat and leave additional loose skin. And lots of cardio is definately not going to give you…

We have nothing to work off here at all. What age are you? Height? Weight? No log of food or alcohol to work from either. If you aren't losing weight then you aren't eating at a deficit. Use this link to work out your personal TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) and input it into MFP. Go under these designated calories…

Are you logging your food somewhere else? I can't see any entry made since 18th January. There are lots of us on here who are currently starting their first ever weight gain journey and going through exactly the same thing that you are so start logging and get a few more friends on board.

Check this out, 2 day per week full body workout......http://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/2-day-simple-ab-split-by-steve.html

Check out the following link and good luck.......http://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/bodyweight

Reeses peanut butter cups or pieces.....YUM!!!!

I also lost 2 inches from my butt and thighs when in a calorie deficit and lifting heavy with no cardio whatsoever. Bulking up your legs takes years of heavy lifting and eating in a surplus so don't panic lol

Protein powder mixed with greek yoghurt gives you about 40g of protein and tastes even better mixed with some blueberries or pineapple.

I don't hit this target but try to aim for the 0.8g per kilo bodyweight ratio. Just shows though that the target set by MFP isn't always right like in the OPs case.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!! You're not in a calorie deficit plain and simple. As long as you create a caloric deficit (meaning consume less calories than your body burns, or burn more calories than you consume… just different ways of saying the same thing), then you will lose weight every single time regardless of whether…

My protein target is set at 30% at the moment and that gives me 188g per day to work with so you've nothing to worry about. 0.8-1g per kilo of bodyweight is an average and like others say, your body will get rid of any unwanted protein anyway. If you work out 6 days per week I'd be eating more protein that you currently…

If you're looking to lose fat and build muscle and not necessarily lose weight then I would suggest that you start following some sort of weight lifting routine. Work out your TDEE on here first based around your activity level and go from there calorie wise. Don't be afraid to eat! Here is a link to a site that I…

^^^^THIS!! Plus it helps if you get the name right to begin with!

Are you sure you don't mean Shredz?!?!?

If you're completely new to working out then take it easy to begin with and make sure to have some rest days in between days at the gym. You're body will need to rest and you don't want to burn yourself out and get discouraged early on. I've linked a site with a variety of beginner workouts below. If you pick a 3 day…

Ah the old muscle weighs more than fat myth again!!! So I suppose you think lead weighs more than feathers too?!?! Hmmmmmm

^^^THIS!!

Weights all the way! I dropped over 30lbs and added some muscle mass just by lifting heavy weights alongside no cardio whatsoever!
