I went out for a meal last night and ate loads. Others were being more reserved with their portions and eating healthy options (Strangely the overweight ones?). I ate about 2500 cals in one sitting. Everybody kept remarking about how much I ate. However, my TDEE is 3400 calories, I had been to the gym that day and had not…

Hi and welcome. You will do great. Good luck.

:D

Great attitude towards lifting. You will achieve the results you want with time/effort and consistency. Best of luck.

Ok, if your not in the mood for jokes. Washing a car will probably just be considered as an everyday activity (although not done everyday) and will be included in your overall TDEE. To some people washing their car might mean standing with a hose pipe aimed at it so it's hard to track.

I could not care less about how you lost weight. I was responding to the OP. I mentioned calories and nutrition too. Exercise was a suggestion to make her feel better about her self and help make creating a deficit easier. I have the opposite experience with how exercise helps tremendously with depression/anxiety/self…

How big is the car? 10 calories for a Smart Car and 100 cals for a Limo is the rule I live and die by.

To be fair, Bro-Science is just an idiots guide which is all we will ever need unless people want to become professional bodybuilders or Scientists. Just eat your protein 0.8-1g protein per 1lbs lean bodyweight and fill the rest of your diet up with what ever carbs and fats you want so that your in a decent surplus (500…

The rule I apply to myself (based on things I've read lol) is that one hour of heavy lifting burns about 150-200 calories. This is obviously pis% poor compared to cardio so I keep my diet in check. However, the more muscle mass you have, the more efficiently you will burn calories at rest. People will also argue that an…

Giggerty!

If it's made in a lab it will kill you. Just like it did those poor mouses. RIP you brave soldiers. They just loved their diet coke. ;)

I do isolation bicep and tricep work as well as compound movements that incorporate both. However I don't think I could do a single pull up lol! I have always put this down to the fact that I don't really practice them (I know I should) and my back is very weak in comparison to the rest of my body. I would never have done…

Protein powder on porridge/oats. 400 cals or so and 24g of protein (depending on brand).
-
That advice is far to practical and will only help to achieve the desired results. Nobody wants to hear that kind of planned, rational thinking on this forum. :)
-
You just need to start. Once you start exercising and paying attention to your calories/nutrition you will get into a rhythm. You will slowly see results which will encourage you to continue and form new habits. Hopefully by then it will turn into a lifestyle change. The hardest part is starting though and committing to it…
-
All of this including lifting heavy (mainly compound movements for all over body workout), taking appropriate rest days and getting enough sleep to aid your growth. Well done and good luck.
-
Yeah, I go with protein powder. Vanilla works really well with oats/porridge. Throw some fruit on there if your feeling exotic.
-
I get really bloated if I drink two scoops of protein in water. Fills me up more than most meals. Google or YouTube "protein Sludge" which tastes better than it sounds. Turns protein powder into a kind of pudding. I sometimes have protein powder it in porridge, but I put it on Special K cereal the other night (mixed in…

You stayed within your calorie limit. No harm done. If you had been stuffing yourself with sweets while in a surplus then maybe you could get angry at yourself. Once every now and then is not a problem. You also recognised and acknowledged that you wanted to eat some sweets right then and listened to your cravings and did…
-
Yeah, superset the arms with bicep/tricep exercises (no rest in between). Cables are good for this. Go fairly slow and controlled on isolation movements feeling the contraction. Concentrate on the muscle. Fairly high reps 10-15 on a weight 10% less than your max. Fill the muscles up with blood until the burn. You will…
-
I think the OP is definitely right though to fuel the fire of using this guys negativity to motivate her to go on to better things. I have loads of negative incidents that I draw on to help me push harder in the gym/life. However, I also would probably put it into context that this guy was just a drunk idiot who probably…

Your maintenance has to be something that is reasonably sustainable in the long term for your lifestyle etc. Your maintenance should allow for fluctuations in food intake on a daily basis (a bit of overeating/underrating here and there) and the phycology of how you can reasonably maintain that weight long term without it…

Yeah, The Misc part of the forum on BB.com is brilliant. Love those guys lol.
-
Yeah, what he said was massively out of order. The world is full of idiots. Nightclubs are an even more condensed microcosm of idiots because many of them are drunk. However, this is not uncommon and believe it or not girls can be just as brutal as men. I've seen (male) friends get humiliated by girls for just having the…

Absolute dog sh"t!

I have a dedicated room at home as a gym which I love (Bench/Free Weights/ Running machiene/Rocky Posters/ Sound System/ Shower Wet room). But I also have a nice gym about ten minutes drive from my house. Both are great depending on what mood I'm in and how sociable I'm feeling. I work hard in both and get a different…

Going to the gym is a great way of getting over social anxiety. Nobody will stare at you. Everybody is in the same boat. I respect anybody that is in the gym. Just make the first step, that's the hardest part. It will be really helpful to your self confidence or anxiety issues in the long run, please trust me on that.

Is Vitamin water the stuff with all the sugar in it? I think that's why the calories are so high. Your teeth might not thank you. Stick to straight up H20.
-
The body's a strange thing. At least your in tune with it enough to notice subtle differences. It's good to listen to the body and give it what it wants though (within reason lol). Today I was craving high carbs for the first time in a few weeks (in particular pasta), so I just ate a huge bowl of Tuna Pasta.

I skip to work whistling Zippity doo dah every morning. True story.
