i love Strava! Its great for motivation since it has segments and i love the KOM and QOM status' so it gives you something to reach for!!

I use the IIFYM methodology. You should look into that too if you have this problem. It sets you more realistic goals for your Macros and you have to hit them everyday (whether you workout or not) and you dont count workout calories ever. They are already accounted for based on what you say your average workout is like in…

I also do IIFYM but one thing i would make sure to do is at the end of the day make sure your numbers are making sense. Remember 4calories per gram of protein and carbs and 9 for fat. what ever your "remaining" carb/fat/protein is SHOULD add up to be your calories remaining. If not, you probably have an entry that isn't…

There is a lot wrong with sugar and how it spikes insulin levels and can cause many problems with our metabolisms. Do a little research. Sugar is the enemy in weight loss. We need some but not the amount most people actually eat.

IIFYM

You have received the same advice over and over again, so i don't feel the need to repeat but i would like to add. Your profile says your doctors and nutritionists can't understand why you can't lose weight.....If they are baffled then i think its time to find a new doctor. Weight loss is honestly simple. calories in less…

Conclusion quote: "Overall the people eating the majority of their carbs at night lost more bodyfat and had better markers of health bey the end of the study than those who ate more of their carbs during the day time." http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/carbs-at-night-fat-loss-killer-or-imaginary-boogeyman.html

Make sure to do chest workouts to strengthen the "pecs". This will help with sagging once they are a smaller and you should see them shrink a bit. Just depends on your genetics and where you tend to carry your weight. For example, i carry all my weight in my stomach and boobs. When i lost 40lbs i lost its from my stomach…

Cheat MEAL and yes log it. The goal of a cheat meal is to shock your system and refire your metabolism. (leptin levels read about it). IF it done correctly you can actually better achieve weight loss with it. but be careful, most people go over board with it and it backfires. My cheat meals are usually a burger and instead…

While weight loss is about a calorie deficit i would still recommend eating fruits and veggies over a greasy, saw dust, chemical filled "meat" substitute any day. Sure you might lose weight on junk food but that does NOT mean it is good for you or your body in any way. You say McDonald's made you loose weight and fruit and…

unfaithful

Haha, well thanks good sir! :#

I think it depends on the person to be honest...it also depends on what body fat % you drop down to. Boobs are nothing more than fat and a little muscle under that. I unfortunately did not have the pleasure of keeping mine. I started off with DD at 150lbs and by the end of my journey i was a A and 108. I bounce back and…

i have mine open. I have nothing to hide, plus i feel it gives people the opportunity to see what other options they have for meals. Like for example when i get into a slump because my meal making creativity has taken a back seat, I'll sometimes browse other peoples diaries for inspiration on meals to make that also fit…

It's probably just water retention from the increase in sugar. You wouldn't have gained a lb that quickly. Drink a lot of water today and by tomorrow i bet you're back down to where you were before the bing.

Feel free to add me and if you want any tips/advice about working out feel free to message me. I do personal training on the side so i can help in that area. Nutrition is another story. My beliefs are not always in line with everyone else and even though I've taken 2 nutrition courses for fun, i found they were completely…

Quinoa Bread and/or Sprouted flourless whole wheat berry bread. Both of which are from Trader Joe's (if you have one near you). Both made with all natural, non-processed ingredients, filling, high fiber, high protein and low sugar. Ezekiel bread is an awesome choice just VERY pricey in comparison to the other two i listed.

I don't log anything from weightlifting. I feel its a safer bet to "pretend" you dont burn any calories while lifting to force yourself to stay on track with food. I found with past clients and friends that when they would monitor their calories burned during lifting they used that as an excuse to eat more crap and follow…

metabolic nutrition is amazing. All of their proteins are high quality, with amazing taste. I love their peanut butter cookie flavor.

Energy drinks are not a good choice. They can cause heart problems, water retention, plus many of them have so many ingredients that are not necessary. An apple or banana, something natural, with natural sugar to get your blood sugar levels up would be a more suitable option.

Metabolic Nutrition - Peanut Butter Cookie. 135 calories per serving, low carbs, low sodium taste is AMAZING! It's a little pricey but very high quality protein and you can't beat the taste! Most protein powders are pretty high in sodium so this is one of my favorite aspects. It wont cause any real water retention or put…

there is not real right answer to that question. What are your goals? How many calories are you trying to consume a day? More important how many grams of carbs/sugar are you trying to take in? Did you measure the food out?

Metabolic Nutrition Peanut Butter Cookie.....I seriously CANNOT get enough of this!!! I put a scoop of oatmeal in there and have it as pre and post workout meal. So freaking good

I use protein powder suppliment(s), BCAA's, Kre-Alkalyn Creatine, pre-workout, and L-Lysine. I only log the protein powder since i am using it as either part of a meal or a meal replacement and is calorie dense compared the rest. The other suppliments have minimal calories (usually less than 5)

There are too many variables to have an easy calculation. Buy a HR monitor and wear it during your workout. Its pretty much the only way you will know. I think its your best bet to treat it like you are burning no calories at all that way you do not over eat. Building muscle will increase your metabolism. More muscle more…

use this: http://www.runnersworld.com/tools/calories-burned-calculator Even though it says runners world, it takes into account only the distance and pace so walking would obviously give you a slower pace. It calculates exactly how many calories are burned based on your gender, height, weight and distance and pace. A lot…

Tofu, brown rice, whatever frozen veggie mix i have in the freezer and sriracha sauce. nutritious, easy and require no defrosting of anything so it can be from the fridge to the stove to my plate in 15 minutes.

natural unsalted crunch peanut butter and a pink lady apple..... why? because it was delicious!! But really it was my pre-workout snack. Just the delicious part is a bonus!
