I eat every three hours usually. Breakfast at 7 (try to make it around 600-700calories), apple and PB and coffee at 10, lunch at 1 (trying to make it my biggest meal), snack at 4 or 4:30 depending on how long lunch took, and dinner around 7 and bed at 9! I have found this keeps me full and rarely snacking or wanting to…

Patriots fan!! Love me some Tom Brady! Hoping for one more superbowl win before he retires but I'm good with last year's win too :)

I've heard to keep your protein up to help not lose muscle! You could start with half a pound and see how it goes and then decrease your calories more depending on how fast you want to lose it. What are you stats?

I love to run and feel the best after a few sweaty miles. I feel it is the best cardio if my body isn't too beat up from it. It just stinks that it hinders my muscle growth since I run 20-30 miles a week. Do you believe in that your body burns less calories the more you get used to running? Thoughts on that?

Lift 5 days a week and do HIIT twice. Cardio 5-6 times a week. Yoga once a week.

I would say almost anything that makes me hungry shortly I after I eat it and doesn't hold me over until my next meal unless it is a cookie or something I have after I ate my main meal like protein and fiber which helps keep me full until my next meal. Having something sweet to top off a meal is fine with me as long as I…

Just going to get some new swimsuits and summer shorts and workout clothes and summer clothes! I just bought a car recently so that is a big reward for me :)

If you live near a Hy-Vee, I just got their diet mixed berry green tea in bottles for like $4.00! Plus it was on fuel saver. Pour it over water and there is no sugar or calories and it tastes amazing!

My first 5k was a color run and my time was 28min and my second one was a mud run. Time was 38min! Did those both last summer and looking to do more this summer. Both were fun so made the running more enjoyable :) Especially the mud run. The obstacles were options you could do but I made it my goal to do them all and run…

Both lol. Deadlifts suck because they are hard but that is the point of them and I would rather have them hard and suck then super easy with no results. Damage to my shins suck because I bleed and it looks not the prettiest with summer and shorts season coming up but I will just get some pants/long socks. Love to shop for…

Thank you!!

I was happy with my schedule back when it was all cardio but if I find a schedule I like, it will stick better.

Can you explain what a recomp entails?

Ultimately to build some muscle and lower my body fat %. I don't think I could do the whole bulking cycle then cutting.

I will play around with it and see. I'm not looking to put on 10 lbs of muscle. I feel as if I am going slow with what I am at now. Just looking to mix up my days.

Maybe Wednesday I will cut the afternoon cardio and go home at lunch and do yoga that night.

I usually stay in the 10-12 range and if I am having troubles, I stop and take some deep breaths and finish out my reps. This seems to work for me as I have seen results all over. Would you think doing cardio twice a day is bad? Even if I eat back most my calories? Here is the workout schedule I am thinking: Monday- AM…

Yes I do the major lifts like squat and bench and deadlift. But I get what you are saying by the accessory work. I will keep adding muscle but do want to keep it low reps. But I work each muscle group three times a week as of now. I feel the split days work better for me and my time contraints.

Okay. I am getting addicted to lifting and the results so just thought it would be an idea for my next workouts after I get tired of this plus it would cut out one day of doing just cardio over my lunch. What would be another way to switch things ups? Just so my body does not get used to what I am doing now.

I have made improvements like lifting heavy and cutting on cardio and eating more. But what else do you have?

I put baking soda in the water and that helps.

So I know to increase my calories to a certain number but what numbers would i use for macros? 40%c/ 30% Fat/30% Protein?

So how does a lean bulk work? Slightly increasing calories with lifting heavy and cutting cardio? What about the macros?

Well I am going to follow their advice which is close to the advice my trainer gave me and will try it out. I am already seeing more toned looks. Different things work for different people.

Have also increased my calories which I dont always meet but get pretty close and eat extra on the weekends sometimes to help with it since I have one cheat meal a week.

I just lift heavy and have cut down on running. I have met people at my gym who did not eat extra calories and just lifted heavy. They lost weight and are now more toned. This post was just a question. I'm not sure on the macros to follow for a lean bulk. It makes me wonder if someone's fat intake is at play.

kickboxing, running, lifting, biking, arc trainer, yoga, cardio sculpt, and walk

Thanks all! Just looking to add some variety and new items in my diet that are low carb and low sodium.

Yes I have an apple almost daily. Always have one at work M-F with peanut butter. Sometimes I don't on the weekends to cut carbs and give me more carbs just in case I go out that night.
