thanks, will try that. And how about the other questions? Or regarding logging any exercise/acitivty outside of work?

If you have a simple taste, you might just like plain packets of chicken or turkey breast slices. not cheap processed *kitten* that are super thin and made for little kids sandwhiches or something. But actual carved slices. I buy 120g packets of Chicken breast slices or Turkey breast slices in any local supermarket (super…

Sodas don't fill you up. Continue drinking diet soda, once you're tracking your calories and staying under. I drink a no calorie soda almost every day, sometimes more than 1. And nearly at my target weight. no hindrance at all. And to the person that says it ages you or kills you or whatever. There are "studies" about…

So you're asking advice on how to be an even more nosey / in-your-face / controlling 'friend'? Its her diet. If she prefers to not exercise and eat less, thats her choice. At 5 foot, her bmr can hardly be that high. So being at 1-1.1k calories / day with little or no exercise isn't that bad. Just because she prefers to go…

And looking at your picture. It looks like you've never bulked when building muscle. So you really have minimal amount to begin with. Either slow bulk, and gain like 10-20 pounds of muscle over the next year, then cut to lose the excess fat to reveal abs, just be prepared if you cut now, you're going to look like a…

It doesn't matter how long you've been working out since or how mnuch you focus your abs, unless you're bulking. Your body isn't going to be building and making muscle when its not getting excess calories. At maintenance it just repairs what you currently have. If you don't have plenty of rock hard ab muscle under the fat,…

Also keeping in mind that your daily calorie limits will increase/decrease based on your activity level. So if today you had to eat 2200 to maintain, then you should eat 2500-2600. But tomorrow you might go and play soccer or basketbal with friends for a couple of hours for example, and then you'd need to eat 2400 calories…

Well you should probably weight somewhere around 66-72kg, for a healthier weight. If you were to just eat massive amounts now, then you'd just gain pure fat. If you were to eat massive amounts and go to the gym, you'd still gain lots of fat. Unless your current weight is making you really unhealthy or that there's a dire…

You're 60% water to begin with. Drinking water before, during, or after any meal or snack of any size, will have no negative effects or consequences. Its been suggested that drinking up to 2 glasses of water shortly before a meal, will help you eat less. Which is good when you want to lose weight. And even if that is…

Can't see face :( But yes lol

omg those turkey pepperoni slices sound amazing (especially with the melted cheese). I've never seen them here, only normal pepperoni, or various versions of it, but never turkey. :(

I eat a higher protein diet. and I love and I mean LOVE chicken and turkey. So if i was to snack, more often then not its a 120g or 140g packet of chicken breast slices or turkey breast slices (the 120g packets, have like 30g protein, and less than 130 cals). But Eggs are good to snack on too. 2 mins in microwave and…

Well here, i've only ever seen one brand. "Avonmore - Protein Milk", its a low fat higher protein milk. 5g carb, 5g protein, and 1g fat, per 100ml which 49 calories (or 98cals for my usual 200ml amount) It tastes the exact same as normal milk as far as I can tell as well. I either drink it on its own, or use it with my…

They're nice. But not good if you're losing weight since they're all extremely calorie dense, I have yet to find one that is really a low calorie snack, while providing adequate amounts of protein. Because if you're cutting, and have lets say a 1200 calorie limit. Most protein bars are 200-400 calories, which is more than…

I'm sorry, but am I the only one that thinks that article is stupid? Is there really so many people out there in the world with such horrible diets that think "oh if I walk to the shop to buy my junk food and walk back, i'll lose lots of weight". Or is it wrong of me to think that it was common sense that you need to burn…

I'd love some new friends on here too :)

I have a friend from school who's now gone onto teaching / leading classes in the gym or whatever, and being a personal trainer. I think he's done a year in college about health and/or fitness or something like that. Yet him, and a few of my other friends who go to class don't seem to have the slightest clue about…

Definitely lol

Cause there's just something about her, that look - is mesmerizing :open_mouth:

Yeah

Never seen it here. Not in supermarkets, smaller stores, or even health shops. Not saying it definitely isn't here, could be I missed it, or it just wasn't in the particular places i've been in. But I do get Avonmore - Protein Milk sometimes. Its low fat or whatever with high protein (compared to normal milk anyway) Had…

You let yourself get fat. Just like the vast majority of people here. Its yourself to blame. Its not a punishment. Its what it takes for you to learn portion and food control. Just like most people here. People who were never fat, don't need to do it because they naturally ate the right amount of portions, or limited their…

I use geodistance.com Map out the way I walked, when I get home. Then it tells me the distance. And I know my walk speed then based on however long I walked for too

not sustainable everyfday. But the odd day, it wouldn't be so bad. once you're not feeling hungry and purposely going without eating. i'm currently at -360 and am done for the night. I'll be perfectly fine tomorrow, and not any more hungry than I normally would be after waking up. But I wont be going negative each day

you can die from water. but that would be extreme, like 6-8+ Litres (depending on many factors) in a very short time. But 2-4+ litres / day is about good, depending on your activity level mostly. If your urine is completely clear or near it, maybe drink slightly less. Pale is good. Dark coloured isn't necessarily a cause…

I can't cook or do anything in the kitchen. So my 'meals' are super limited. But you can do lots of simple no skill or experience required 'meals' with chicken. Toss chicken breast fillets into oven for 20-30 mins to cook. If you have garlic powder or paprika powder, cover them in that for some flavour. then just get jars…

Lose fat. Build muscle. That's what you want to do. Eat at maintenance calories. High protein. 3-4 strength workouts / week. Should eventually lose some fat and build a little muscle.

I didn't look at the other posts, so wasn't keeping track. But yeah, you could live off junk food I guess. Just not healthily. And at some point, (probably wouldn't take long to reach), you'd start hitting various vitamin and mineral deficiencies, since alot of unhealthy stuff would probably be made from similar…

Yes. IIFYM is pretty much almost perfect, once you go by it sensibly and with some logic. You can't just eat like 20 poptarts or 10 double burgers everyday and hit most if not all your macros. But treats are totally fine. The problem with eating alot of junkfood and sweets is that they don't fill you up at all. Even if you…

Yay, i was right! lol
