Do you track your macros? You'll gain fat but you can minimize that by keeping it low.

Depends if you're on a deficit. Most people will eat back about half the calories burned. Let's say If you're trying to lose 1lb a week at 1700 calories without exercise. If you burn 300 calories without eating them back, you will net 1400 calories for the day. You risk not getting enough nutrition. I'm trying to gain…

I've been trying to put on weight so I've been eating back as much as I can. Sometimes, finding food to eat is tough...lol

Open diary here... Everyone feel free to add/look :smile:

I did something similar to this. I was at least 8 cups a day. They were rarely full cups because once I was able to gulp the coffee, it was what I considered too cold and I would pour out about 1/3 cup each time. This would happen in about 5-6 sips. For me, coffee is meant to be sipped and not chugged... Lol. For…

Anyone feel free to add me. I've been doing a slow bulk but it's ending up as maintenance. Lol

There is a selection under cardio called strength training. I use that as a general calorie count. Might not be spot on for most people since it can't tell how intense you're training or how long of rest periods you are taking.

I would keep it totaled as lunch. I eat snacks throughout the day and they get lumped into snacks.

Are you after a specific goal such as losing or gaining weight? I keep track of calories and macros currently because I'm trying to put on some size and it makes it easier to see how much I'm eating and could potentially gain.

Must have something to do with living on the shore. Of course I've seen some dudes wearing leggings and no top at the beach during tourist season.

Yup. With milk, cottage cheese, tofu, yogurt, nuts.

I'm on the Jersey shore, as well. I rotate between 3 different locations within the same chain of commercial gym and see people doing full range or Rippetoe depth squats all the time. Granted, there will always be plenty of people that don't go full range. On leg day, I go to the location with a squat rack, squat cage, and…

Everyone feel free to add meeeee!!!

Sweet!!! Looking awesome!

Everyone feel free to add me. Currently bulking...well, at least trying to

I think almost all exercises/variants have been listed. Lol. Hack squats Single leg pushdowns on the assisted pullup/dip machine

Hi everyone! Feel free to add me!!!

I've been doing 45/30/25 for 4 weeks at 2100 calories. I've managed a bulk of about 1/2lb a week. BMI is 23.9 and fat% is 12.9 and I weigh 157lbs. This is my first bulk. Changing macros to 40/35/25 and upping calories to 2300. Trying that for a few weeks and most likely upping to 2500 cals hopefully reaching 160lbs by the…

You're off to a good start!!! Keep at it!

Could use a little help myself

I've set a goal to lose weight and have abs few years ago. It worked for me. Before that, all I did was work out with no plan. Being in generally fit and a healthy weight is a goal, but I found that having a specific plan was necessary for me. Currently, my goal is to participate in a men's physique contest in 16 weeks.…

I wanna be sedat... Friends :)

I've tried it in coffee. I like the taste but more fat than I'd like to consume since I drink a few cups of coffee a day. I also use it as a moisturizer on my face. So far, it's been the only thing that doesn't make me break out.

Happy girl

Gym usually but on weekend nights :wink:

Bud 55 or Miller 64. No taste, but arguably better than nothing. Lol Shots of scotch until I hit IIFYM... lol

This :) Another thing to notice is how different your clothes feels. Belt to the next notch...etc.

2 whole eggs, can of tuna, protein shake, greek yogurt and cottage cheese is about 90g of protein. There is about another 12-15g depending on what I eat along with everything. This still doesn't include protein during dinner (red meat, chicken, pork or fish), or the later meal I have after 9:00pm. I can easily get 35-40g…

I've only said something to a group of 20-something "bros" that were taking up 4-5 benches and most of the 40lb and under dumbbells. Friday during the summer, add living on the NJ Shore and you have people that only work out on Friday so they can get ready for The Club... lol They were loud and spent most of their time…

Similar situation for me. 183lbs down to 148lbs in 20 weeks. Friends started saying I looked sick and if I was okay. My goal at the time was to show abs. My profile pic is around 152lbs. I'm lean but very little muscle and still around 14% bmi or body fat. I don't remember which is which... Lol I spent the next 8 weeks…
