I think that looks right. Works for me. Do you work out? For fats: feta, avocado, nuts, string cheese. My favorite proteins: Lean chicken, egg whites, Fage yogurt, high quality protein powders, steak. Here is a great article, which breaks down lowest calorie highest protein foods and also some misinformation…

You might also want to consider a quality Post Workout Recovery Supplement to add to your routine. I use Liporidex POS/T right after my lifting session (just mix it w water, it tastes great)-it gives me all the BCAA's I need, reduces soreness and has internal sunscreen, it's awesome.

Sorry-I did not have the details, my answer would be different then. Good luck!!

So...did you start yet? What are your first steps to achieve your goal? That's hilarious. All apply to me! LOL

Absolutely agree. Well said.

It's totally fine if it makes you happy. It might actually help you keep your metabolism run better. Most of the weight gain you see after a cheat day is water anyway-I would just weigh myself once a week, day before cheat day. If you see a weight gain you do not want after 3 weeks or so, dial it back. Does that sound…

Well...I know a lot of men and some of them have smaller muscles then me, LOL...I don't feel like I look like a man from the heavy lifting I do. But on serious note, educate yourself, set goals and stick with it.

I aim for 30grams of protein (Optimum Nutrition protein shake)/30 grams of carb (whatever I crave since I am on low card diet) within 30 min. Good article to answer your question: https://www.myliporidex.com/blog/postworkout_nutrition

It is a big challenge for sure. I had 2 C-sections myself. This is what I believe helps: 1. Reduce body fat percentage. It is not about being the lowest weight but being lean. You can not see your abs if there is fat over them. 2. Build/tighten your abs to show. Especially for us moms, we need to work on getting the muscle…

Thats awesome! I am really excited for you!. Please let me know if you have any questions. You will definitely see big changes in just few months if you stick with it. Just remember that at the scale is not everything. I would recommend you find a weight lifting program to follow-especially at the beginning. There are…

I know...plus there is so much misinformation out there about what foods are the best sources of protein...pretty funny actually.

Here is a nice article on how to set goals and stay motivated. Maybe it will help! https://www.myliporidex.com/blog/how_to_set_your_goals_and_stay_motivated/

Here is a article which breaks it down pretty nicely for you, I hope this helps! https://www.myliporidex.com/blog/weight_training_versus_cardio/

I eat min. of 160grams of protein per day per my 160 lbs of body weight. My goal is to build muscle, cut fat. Works great.

Yup, its all about lifting heavy and eating right.

depending on your goals and current status...

I would measure body fat % instead of weight.

That is hilarious article...LOL Curios to see how the study goes.

Once you create a habit out of it and see the amazing results you can achieve with consistency and dedication, you will not want to stop. The question is what are you REALLY committed to? For example, I have a hard time with eating right at the evening-because deep down inside I am committed to feeling comfortable and…

How bad do you want it?

OMG! I would be super excited if I was you. After all it is not about the number but about how we look and feel right? I am the same weight as a year ago and my body looks completely different and I am 3 sized down. At some point, if you exercise right, the scale does not matter at all. Good job!

Yup, yup, yup!

Most of the time when you start strength training, you actually will see this happen. As you build muscle, you might weigh the same but change your body composition. Are you starting to see a difference in the way you look? Or how your clothing fits you? Have you considered body fat measurement instead? Do not get…

Ha ha! Very true! I love Optimal Nutrition's protein powders and Liporidex line of fitness formulas.

I consume 160 grams of protein a day with no problem. Ouch..nuts are not the best choice at all...Great article about the best bang for buck (protein per calorie) foods here: https://www.myliporidex.com/blog/best_protein_sources1 Salmon (canned or in the pouch for convenience ) is a great option as well.

1 gram of protein per lb of body weight is a standard for many who lift and are looking to gain muscle. It is my goal and works very well for me. 25 grams of protein is extremely low-you really can not build muscle on that. Do not forget a good amount of fat as well, it is essential.

Yup, this stuff is real deal. I especially love the pre-workout. Gets me work out so much harder and my stamina is off the chain. Go ahead and attack me over it, LOL...What else would I expect? ;)
