Make sure you accurately weigh everything. Tracking is the best way drop the weight. Make a conscious effort of tracking everything that goes into your body and i promise the weight will go down. Cardio is only necessary if you have over eaten that day, it is completely possible to lose weight just measuring your food.

Have a protein shake

I end up drinking half my water when im at the gym. So id say just general activity and keep sipping throughout the day

Drop you cals another 200 by lowering your carbs. Keep eating a high content of protein to preserve muscle gain and hopefully the cuts come soon!

Whey protein ofcourse! Also i put red kidney beans with my chicken for lunch. Even egg whites for breakfast. Everything else i can think of you've mention. What is your protein intake per day anyway?

I understand i will lose strength. Im think of doing a cut to about 8% bf over 20 weeks later this year, but hopefully keeping most of my strength.

Well its good to know the overall opinion that i can keep doing mt heavy sets whilst hypertrophy training. Just need to remember to lower the volume eventually. Thanks guys!

Id say its your posture as the way you describe sitting at a desk. The best way to fix/strengthen your posture is definitely desdlifts. Doing corrective deadlifts can fix almost any muscle imbalances. Make sure your form is perfect and dont go too heavy. Also streching will help. Stretch your chest and biceps on both arms…

Clean bulking at 3500 - 4000 calories

Carbs are life

I used a starting weight and overtime i took pictures so i could measure in the future. Later on i got a fat cailper test and it never really changed i stayed at around 10 - 11% for over a year whilst gaining weight. Therefor lean muscle mass.

So true! Im 19 and have been trying to bulk for the past 2.5 years. Manage to gain 17kg with minimal fat gain (maybe 1 or 2 %) would definitely recommend bulking til at least 21 or 22

Clean bulk my friend!

Smaller thighs will definitely come with a lower body fat %. Try lowering your calories per day to lose around 1pound of 0.5kg a week and keep your protein high. If you dont lift weights that will definitely help motivate you and "tone" your muscles. Training and eating healthy is the best way to feel and look your best! :)

Beginners have the ability to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time if they work hard enough. Noob gains are real and begginers should take advantage of it. Eating a high protein consumption and doing a clean bulk will enable you to build muscle and slowly lost body fat overtime. Within your first year of training hard…

I personally recommend keepinh your protein high around 30% -40% and keeping fat low around 20% as you will maintain as much muscle as possible. Doing a clean bulk once you start weight lifting will maximize the amount of muscle your gaining while maintaining a healthy physique!

Make sure you hit your macro nutrients ( I recommend changing protein up to 30% on MFP) and stay under your daily calories and you will lose weight. If this doesn't work just lower it slightly around 100 calories and see how that goes. Stay consistent and the weight will drop!

Trying to gain weight or lose weight isn't too important. Protein should be fairly high regardless. 30% of your diet on myfitnesspal or around 90 grams for a female. Protein is so important in muscle development and maintaining strength

Depending on what your goals are you should either lose or gain weight. If you have no ab definition then possibly losing a little bit of weight wouldn't hurt. If you are new to exersice and weight lifting, then eating at a caloric maintence level with some lifting and little bit of cardio would benefit you massively.…

If you have just started weight training id recommend doing a clean bulk, so that your body will slowly build lean muscle overtime rather than gaining body fat.

Try not to focus on where the food ends up (Breakfast, lunch or dinner) Rather just focus on hitting your calorie intake and your macro nutrients and you will do fine!
