IIFYM is simply a flexible approach to dieting. Rather than prescribing specific types of foods, you can eat whatever you want...as long as it fits your macros. In essence, MFP is set up to facilitate IIFYM.

Are you asking for recommendations on a protein powder with a similar nutritional content, or similar in flavor to cafe latte. If the latter, I take chocolate or vanilla protein and add some instant coffee. If the former, there are a number of active threads on the topic.

Pro tip: pick up some mason jars and pre-package a week's worth of salad stuff to store in the fridge. Take one out each night and dump it over a bed of lettuce. Easy. Here's what I usually include: Cherry or grape tomatoes Red peppers Green peppers Mushrooms Apples Carrots Strawberries Blueberries Pickles Pickled jalapenos

Alomnds are awesome and can be very satiating. The key is portion control. I buy in bulk at Costco and then immediately pre-portion into individual bags. Lately, I've been crushing almonds and putting them in cottage cheese and Greek yogurt with fruit. Yummy.

Depending on your activity level, that appears to be in the 1.5 to 2 pound per week range (750-1,000 daily calorie deficit). How long have you been on your current diet? I'd give it a few weeks at least.

No. You snooze, you loose. Sorry. j/k Yes, as long as you stay within your daily total, you can eat whenever you want. Many people wait until later in the day to start eating. See intermittent fasting (IF).

All protein powder has BCAAs. They are inherent to their nutritional makeup. You don't need to buy another brand to reduce your protein intake, just simply take one scoop (30g) instead of two.

Whey isolate undergoes additional refinement that strips away most of the fats and carbs. The stated benefits are that it A) gets almost 100% of its calories from protein; B) absorbs more quickly and C) has a greater bioavailability. That said, I don't think it's worth the extra 3-50% cost compared to whey concentrate.

That's only 60 less calories than a regular Krispy Kreme glazed doughnut.

You guys are waaay understanding the health risks of Subway. It's proven that eating Subway twice a day will cause you to seek out inappropriate sexual relationships with underage members of the opposite sex.

I cleaned my house the other day, but I wasn't happy about it, so I was pretty rude to my family while doing it. I found an entry for "clean and jerk" and used that. Thanks, folks, I'll be here all week.

I've only had their pancake, strawberry, blueberry and caramel syrups, and they're all legit. I've heard the spreads are turrible.

Drinking olive oil sounds disgusting. The majority of carbs in an avocado are attributed to fiber, which are absorbed in the body differently than other carbs. Many people don't count fiber toward their carb or calorie totals, which is probably getting at the net carbs question.

Mine are pretty simple: Preworkout: 50g whey Coffee One scoop AmiNO Energy cafe series Post workout 40g whey/casein blend Fruit (banana/strawberry/blueberry) Supps - creatine, leucine, glutamine

I just looked up NLA Her Whey and this is what it says: It's about time that women have a nutritional protein drink designed for them! Her Whey is a gluten free, lean protein drink that is scientifically formulated to promote lean muscle growth, support muscular recovery and fuel your muscles for high intensity training.*…

My wife tells me that I emit a highly repulsive body odor when I supplement with too many protein shakes.

The TDEE calculator is just an estimate. Use it as a starting point and track progress. If you're losing weight, great; if not, scale it back some. The TDEE calculator should provide you with a macro split, but here are some suggestions: Basic split - 40c/30f/30p. OR Protein - 0.5 to 1.0 grams per pound of goal body weight…

Did you microwave expired yogurt to zap the mold?

Ultimately, it's about calories. Set a realistic weight loss goal based on a caloric deficit that doesn't leave you starving every day. Other than that, the eating style is really what works best for you - low carb, high carb, intermittent fasting, keto, etc.

Typically whey isolate will have very little fat or carbs. The makers of Muscle Milk (Cytosport) make isolate under their Monster Milk brand, but it does contain fat and carbs. Any other brand should do the trick - ON, Isopure, Myprotein, Dymatize.

Yes. Many people even walk a 5K. Start toward the back of the pack, that way you can pass more people than pass you.

Eat a really big meal at the end of the day (the "Gladiator" diet). Get a new job that doesn't require to damage your body on a daily basis.

Seems kinda high for a medium avocado (about 150 grams). You would need an avocado significantly larger (200+ grams) to equal 360 calories.

I think the OP understands that a caloric deficit (i.e. eating less) is required for weight loss. She's asking how to get there. For me, the foods that give me the most bang for my calories in terms of taste and satiety include oats, sweet potato, salad with lean meats (chicken), greek yogurt, cottage cheese, eggs/egg…

I just had some plain greek yogurt with crushed smoked almonds, sliced strawberries and walden farms strawberry syrup. It was awesome.

Well, if you're currently in maintenance, you'll definitely gain weight if you eat a pint a day but don't cut back elsewhere.

This. It's five rounds of 30-second bursts followed with one minute of rest in between, so it's really 6.5 minutes (sounds like a watered down version of tabata). First, to burn 1,000 calories (assuming the 200 estimate is correct) it would take about 40 minutes to do five sessions (assuming two minutes rest in between…
