Keep in mind as well, missing a day isn't a big deal, you can go by week totals as well. So if your maintenance is 1600 for example, you have 1400 one day, 1800 another day, 1500 another day, 1700 another day, it will all average out over a week.

Add in more Vegetables!!! There are many out there that you can eat quite a few of to add more fiber and fill you up. You can eat a ton of some vegetables and add a very little amount of calories. For example 2 cups of broccoli is only around 60 calories. There are tons of good recipes out there to roast broccoli and…

As long as you are getting good sleep and nutrition, how is your body feeling? Like I said I do a mix of powerlifting / bodybuilding workouts 5 days per week. Usually one of the off days I will walk / jog on the treadmill and maybe a rowing machine as well. Then normally I will take Sunday completely off, sometimes I still…

We need to know what you are doing? Are you training for a 1/2 Ironman, working out 2 hours a day, plus long hours on the weekend? Are you training for a 1/2 or full Marathon? Are you training for powerbuilding? Are you training for bodybuilding? Are you training for Crossfit? Or are you just doing weight training to get…

I started a new Powerlifting / Bodybuilding program this week, so week 1 / 12. Today Deadlifts 4 x 10 sets, 285 lbs Then a complete back workout after that.

bahh, who needs rest!!! I take a break from Weights usually 2 days per week, but I still walk / jog on the treadmill on those days. From time to time, I'll completely take 1 day off.

I would just go to maintenance calories, or cut about 500 calories and do that for a few weeks, and then adjust if you need to. Up to you on cardio, it's not necessary, unless you want to keep your calories higher.

Like many others have mentioned, go outside and hike if you can, or hit stairs, start with an empty backpack on. Then after a week or two, add 5 or 10 lbs to it, and so on.

I never grunt, but usually when I'm doing Deadlifts, and the weight gets really heavy, usually I'm make a little noise when I do the first lift. If people look at me when doing that, oh well.

Here is an article too, if you want to read through it. https://www.backpacker.com/skills/how-to-get-in-shape-for-hiking

Can you explain what your goals are? For example, I'm hiking this summer and doing around 80 - 100 miles in the rockies with 25 - 35lbs on my back, so it will be very tough and takes a ton of training. I have been hitting the gym extremely hard working on building up my back strength, leg strength, and more. Once spring…

Again missing the complete point, and since you don't read and understand the point, I'm done. I get so sick of people highjacking posts and ripping on people that give advice, instead of just replying to the original poster.

LOL, i'll stop posting, so many here are clueless.

You are 100% missing my point. You body will adjust if you keep doing the same thing over and over and over gain. I have seem people do cardio for hours at gyms and it barely does anything for them, because that is ALL they do every singe week. It's possible over a few hours they may have been burning 900+ calories, but…

I would suggest you mix in some weight lifting as well and build a little bit of muscle. You have to remember, if you are doing the same thing over and over, your body will adjust and your metabolism will change. You could hit a treadmill hard for the first time for weeks and lose a lot of weight, then your body will…

LOL, I hit Legs hard this morning, then attempted 20.2. After about 4 rounds, I decided to quit, since my upper body was already pretty sore from the week. I'm going to take Saturday and Sunday off, I'll hit 20.2 again next week.

This morning I hit shoulders really hard, and then did the 20.1 workout. Tomorrow I'm hitting legs hard, then taking Saturday and Sunday off, since I will have worked out Sunday - Friday this week. If I have the energy and motivation after doing legs tomorrow, I may knock out 20.2, but we'll see.

I'm not paying for the Crossfit entry, nor will I join a crossfit gym, way too expensive. However, on my rest days from lifting weights, I'm now doing Crossfit workouts. So I used to do weights 4 x week, then walk on the treadmill on rest days, but now I'm doing weights 4 x week, then crossfit 2 x week, and 1 rest day. I…

So many people say things are genetics. Is it true that some things are passed down by genetics, yes. However, quite often these lay dormant, and then your crappy eating and lifestyle is what wakes them up.

Thank you. I do get a serving of nutritional yeast in just about every day and take a 1000mcg pill every day. Regarding everyone saying many things are genetic, I would not call that 100% true. Just because my mother had colon cancer, doesn't mean I would. Many of my family members are overweight, eat like crap, and some…

Probably since my last blood test in April 2018, maybe around 10 lbs. April 2018, I was around 204 lbs, now I'm around 194 lbs, and a little over 6'. I started back in the Gym in December of 2017, so was working out constantly for around 4 months before I had that blood test in April 2018. I was probably around 215 -…

I am also Sedentary, however, I put in that I workout 4 days per week, for 65 minutes each time. What did you enter there?

Welcome. I became Vegan about 2.5 months ago, after watching Forks over Knives. I am mainly doing this as a test since I have a physical soon, wanted to compare my blood workup from last year with this year. However, since I have been Vegan, and after watching several documentaries and more, I will probably stick with it.…

I give up, good luck.

I don't focus my diet on protein, I was just letting you know how I get it easily. I have been eating 100% plant based for a little over 2 months now. As far as dedicating time, the meal I make in the instant pot, takes me about 10 - 15 minutes to prep, then I let it go for 30 minutes in the instant pot, i then turn it off…

I make up a 10 serving meal in my instant pot every week, with Quinoa, Lentils, Beans, Brown Rice, Tofu, Veggies, Veg Broth, and spices. It usually has about 40g+ of carbs, around 10g or less of fat, and a little over 30g protein per server. I eat one of those per day. I also have 1 smoothie per day with 2 scoops of plant…

What exactly are you trying to do, gain muscle? lose weight? what do you weigh and how much protein are you trying to get?

Try going Vegan for a month or two and see how that goes for you.

It's not the healthiest, but it's pretty low in calories. Are you saying you are doing 2 tbl per day? Or multiple times per day?
