I would have just put it all under the higher cal entry ( dark meat ), unless I knew fairly well the relative composition. Better to over report on an individual entry then under.

RDA is 64 oz. / day minimum for average person. This includes all hydration sources, not just water. Thats ~ 1900ml for you metric users.

Keto community - http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/1143-keto Lotta good info / people over there. GL ... I love pasta and potatoes too much to commit to keto, thou I do try to eat lower carb than average. Moderation I can handle ... elimination .. not so much.

133 is not low for your size. It's also not high enough where your getting close to dangerous levels. Therefore, if you want to increase it 10-20%, you can safely.

What we know: 1 - You estimate you are eating in a range of 1500-2k calories a day 2 - You are 33 3 - You are female 4 - You estimate you are "around 128 lbs." 5 - Your pictures show what is typically known as a "Skinny Fat" physique. Unless you are under 5' tall or over 5' 10", your weight is in the ideal range. Skinny…

Split sessions is fine, so long as you allow adequate recovery time in between, otherwise your lifts will suffer. When combining both into a single session, the normal recommendation is for cardio after lifting, with the exception of a brief warmup if desired. Long duration steady state cardio can be catabolic, but since…

Generally speaking, across the various brands for a particular product, there is little variation in the amounts/types of additives in cold cuts. They all have nitrates and other chemicals added for various reasons, such as to extend shelf life or make the product more appealing. They also tend to have high sodium…

Recommended minimum intake is 1200/day for females, 1500/day for males, unless under medical supervision. Thats NET cals, for an average size person of the appropriate sex.

A can of Campbell's Homestyle Country-Style Chicken Noodle Soup only has 16g carbs. Same for the old condensed standby that most of us grew up with. If your tracking your intake, and you know your carb limit to remain in ketosis ( which you should that far along ), you can answer that better than anyone else could.…

I always recommend calculating for Sed. You can then add back a % of exercise calories expended based on anticipated accuracy.

Yeah, any of these are good body weight exercise references.

What you eat wont matter if your only goal is to lose weight. From that perspective, 1200 cal of refined sugar is the same as 1200 calories of prime rib. If its less than your daily expenditure, you will lose. For any duration of more than a few days, you should consider the nutrient value of what you are eating, to…

The typical 5x5 routines that are suggested around here are designed to provide a full body workout, via the compound lifts, that includes progressive load. They are not the only way a beginner can get started lifting, but they are a pretty universally agreed upon safe and efficient way to do so. They require no additional…

I believe what you are looking for is information on a CKD ( cyclic keto diet ) ... Here is a good resource for info : http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/cyclical_ketogenic_diet.htm It is generally considered better to eat cleaner when possible, but I know people who have success on both ends of the range. There is another…

Most on here will eat back at least a portion of exercise calories. How much of them you should consume is based on how accurate you think your estimates are for burned calories, and what your exercise goal was/is ( ie to increase deficit, or to get into better physical condition ... ).

Fatigue after a workout is normal; it should be the goal. It indicates you adequately stressed your body, and it will attempt to adapt to the workload. Soreness would indicate you did something incorrectly or harmful ( bad form, too much too soon, etc ), and is not an indicator of a good workout ... in fact, it is just the…

The number of carbs only matters if you are trying to follow a specific diet that limits them ( by choice or due to medical condition ). The ratio of carbs/protein/fat is customizable to reflect your meal plans. As long as you get your minimum RDA of each macro nutrient, the rest is up to you.

Medical studies have indicated that over 50% of people that are not properly hydrated ( ie are thirsty ) mis-identify it as hunger ... check and make sure you are getting proper hydration. The reason changing your goal settings isn't having a big impact is because you are hitting the lower limit due to your size. MFP will…

There is a user created script ( details here : https://github.com/Surye/mfp-keto-userscript ) that you can install in your browser to track net carbs.

Depending on the source and your gender, the daily fiber intake recommendations are 20-35g. So those of you that are counting total carbs and staying down in the recommended ranges/area for keto either aren't getting enough fiber, or you are dangerously close to or below minimum recommended carb intake of 10-15g to support…

Sugar is a carb, and included in your total intake. Most people can remain in ketosis so long as total intake is < 50g a day, but it varies by individual, which is why you need to find your actual threshold via experimentation and testing.

You need to eat at a net of at least 1200 calories, unless being medically supervised.

For an untrained/new lifter, the majority of strength gains in the initial phases are due to increased efficiency of the signals going to the musculature from the brain, not from increases in muscle size. How quickly the nervous system can adapt to become more efficient in sending these signals determines your rate of…

Safe storage is about 1 month for frozen rice made at home ... just an FYI. You'll want to pack it in airtight containers white still hot, to keep as much moisture in the rice as possible. When you go to use it later, the best option is to steam it in the microwave for a couple mins with a small amount of water.

In order to get usable measurements from most home scales, you need to take them in a consistent state. The best way to achieve this is to weigh 1st thing in the morning, after having used the toilet, and before eating or drinking anything. Because home scales tend to vary from unit to unit in both reading and accuracy,…

Your TDEE is about 1850, and a typical "textbook" bulk of 10% would put you with a target of about 2035 plus your exercise expenditures. That calorie goal is probably a bit aggressive unless you are burning 500+ calories a day average from exercising. I would recommend you be careful with how much steady state cardio you…

Answers to your questions in order: Yes ( you proved it ) Yes ( see above ) Yes, wait Yes, bad form will always hinder progress

Personally, if I cant do them right, with the correct equipment, then I don't do them. I will get a workout in doing something else ( like machines or body weight exercises ), but I don't track that as part of my program ( I use the app ). I don't see anything inherently wrong with, for instance, doing OHP with dumbells or…
