My goal is to be close....so you I don't have to count all activity or can be ok to estimate food as necessary. You get a sense of a set up that works for you. To measure every single calorie or record every single step would drive me crazy.

It's fine, but if are not doing the raises properly, you will be using more hip flexor than ab...

Cleaning out the fridge Lamb for me, egg tofu for boys, king mushroom and choi sum in oyster sauce....and of course rice

Put in a bag or container with a cut onion

Yu xiang qie zi Fish fragrant Sichuan eggplant

Borscht Carrot and lentil Thai Sweet potato Hot and sour Miso Any veggie soup

Of course they respond to the stress. First and foremost you will build strength, which is more than just building muscles mass. And yes, you can build muscle while on a deficit...thigh it slower. In the past 4 plus months I have dropped 40 lbs. I have gained strength in every lift (leg press from 255 to 400, bench from…

My wife hates bananas

45 or so lost...started December-ish

Can I ask what cut was used... Jus a note, if you are cooking with a very lean piece like a loin, do not cut it into small chunks. I did a 4 hour braise Balinese pork loin...as an experiment, I cut one loin into bit sized chunks and cut the other into thirds...the bite sized were "overdone" ...the thirds was perfect when…

Leg press, extensions, hamstring curls.....I have bad knees and don't like squats. These old tried and true have worked for me

Simple dinner for me and the kids.....

Leftovers and greens for lunch...

When you make the pastes do you freeze? When I make Balinese pastes, the effort warrants I make lots...so I freeze ice cube trays worth that I can pull out and make a curry, add to a soup or any other dish.

Oyster sauce and garlic

Buy good coffee..,nothing like a great espresso.

Why not just look at what others people are wearing...most are probably wearing shorts and a t shirt As a guy, the only thing that really makes my eyes roll is guys wearing a tank/muscle shirt who are either ridiculously skinny or overweight...though it usually has more to do with their mannerisms.

Not that I think squats are bad, but you have to know your body. At 44, I know my body. I have always had bad knees and have been very hesitant to squat. So I didn't for four months. Leg presses, ham string curls, calf raises, exercise bike. I have built up strength (leg press in full ROM sets with 400 lbs), lost a lot of…

I go all the time...5 or 6 days a week. For me it is important to get out of the house, so it's perfect...

I have been averaging 6 days a week for the past 4 months...no issues

Down around 40 lbs in he past 4 months...,eating well and going on the gym regularly. Nothing more nothing less....

Carrot and coriander soup

Pastas, soups

There are lots of different tofus....each have their own uses. Right now in the fridge we have: Silken tofu - sliced and served with edamame and dressed with diluted soy sauce and sesame Silken tofu desserts - mango and taro flavours Extra firm - used with Sichuan boiled fish and or with veggies....intend to fry in a non…

Depends on how it is prepared.... Broiled - Atlantic Salmon Fish and chips - Baramundi or Haddock Poke - tuna Sushi - Toro Bbq - Mahi Mahi Freshwater - trout or perch Smoked - whitefish Cured - Salmon

Down to 208...another notch down on the belt.

Watching tv, playing on the computer, staying up late

Problem with tofu is that if you don't know how to cook it it can be crap and this is coming from some one who likes tofu. For that matter, so can chicken breast (the tofu of the meat world...no taste, easy to screw up)... I'd also say look at all the different types if tofu..,our kids love dessert tofu which is silken…

A cup of bulgar, a cup of corn, 160g chicken breast in a tamarind honey sauce Perrier Pineapple for dessert

Don't know why it should be deleted given that it is not illegal or decriminalized in many countries...and is an approved medical great,net in others.... Anyway, as along it is not impacting your calories (ie uncontrollable munchies) or your will to exercise then I don't see an issue.
