Without knowing your stats, activity level, current bodyfat %, etc. I will use a close example... * 5'6'' * 150 lbs. * 26 yrs. * Very Active (hard exercise/sports for 6-7 days a week) * 10% bodyfat ^ That would give you a TDEE of about 2925 cals/day. Subtract 700 cals and that puts you in a 24% cut relative to TDEE.…

Not likely unless you are about 120 lbs. and in a caloric deficit. Dietary Fat Guideline: 0.40-0.45 grams per pound of bodyweight -- the lowest amount implied by clinical observation (unless obese).

Not likely.

More like 40/35/25 ~ carb/fat/pro Though I would suggest going by the actual grams those ratios provide... Protein: 0.60-0.82 grams per pound of bodyweight -- the highest amount justified by research for active individuals. Dietary Fat: 0.40-0.45 grams per pound of bodyweight -- the lowest amount implied by clinical…

You'd need over 1/2 cup dry oats to make up for the fiber difference of one of those yogurts. I would personally rather have a bowl of "proats" with rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, some coconut oil, water, dash of salt, etc. cooked on the stovetop. I would imagine it could prove quite difficult to add 1/4 cup of dry…

Yep...but raw, dry oats can be nasty, texture-wise. You could try adding some pre-soaked rolled oats in using this method... http://www.tastingtable.com/cook/national/how-to-make-the-best-oatmeal-overnight-oats

Fage "Full Fat" Yogurt is great, but it has no fiber. Oikos Triple Zero Yogurt however has 6 g fiber from chicory root. Add 2 oz. raw raspberries to it and that's 10 grams of fiber and 15 grams protein for just 150 calories.

Change that skim milk to whole milk. You're going to need that extra dietary fat if you are planning on eating for just $3.33 per day. Check out potatoes, peanut butter, beans/lentils, pasta, and just about any fruit and veggie at a reasonably priced store.

Just eat at 10%+ TDEE. Use this calculator to gauge your TDEE. Be sure to include bodyfat %: http://www.1percentedge.com/ifcalc/ After you have your TDEE, consume 10% more than the quoted figure. For a good split routine, look at something like this for inspiration: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=166617201…

Yes, but it's still very sweet. 1 scoop of Trutein in 14-16 oz. water or milk is cloyingly sweet. You'd have to add double that amount of liquid to balance it out. Yep.

For a black coffee drinker, this sounds gross.

Eat the whole egg. Egg whites is NEVER the correct option.

Weight lifting. Full body routine. Check out "all pro" on bodybuilding.com, in the workout programs forum. You can do that routine on a cut or at maintenance. When you progress, look into an advanced hypertrophy split routine and start bulking. Cardio is for the birds. Nothing wrong with 1-3 miles fast past if you can fit…

Yep. One is crystallized. One is powdered. Same ingredient. Any difference is all mental. Regardless, you shouldn't "feel" anything from normal Creatine supplementation.

Don't rely on MFP to measure your potassium intake. The FDA does not impose a recommended standard/minimum for potassium. Therefore, a lot of the listings do not contain accurate potassium information. If you're eating your vegetables, then it is highly likely you are getting enough potassium. To find out what you are…

They are essentially the same thing (minus the texture fact the above poster presented). The same nutritionally speaking, too. If you take a groat, steam it to make it pliable, and roll it (without cutting it) then you have a rolled oat.

Yes, none of that applies since you are arguing a moot point. Neither does this... Stick with monohydrate form.

This is no contest. Xtreme Formulations Ultra Peptide 2.0, followed by PES Select. Try them both and see for yourself.

Ethyl Ester is not better. Go check out the bodybuilding.com supplement forum where just about everyone takes creatine in monohydrate form. Bloating is a non-issue unless you're 3-7% bodyfat and in competition.

D. Checking you out this whole time and you had to go and ruin it.

Palak Paneer or Saag Paneer is amazing if you like fresh white cheese and cooked spinach. It's very nutritious. It's technically a side dish, but I could eat it as a main. Salty, savory, spicy, rich, and full of warm spices like cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg.

I'm on a Split / Hypertrophy Routine. Train each muscle group twice per week (or every 3-4 days on average). To keep the routine flexible, don't assign workouts to specific days of the week. Rather, rotate through Days 1/4, Days 2/5 and Days 3/6 workouts regardless of what day of the week it happens to be. If you performed…

Creatine is a system saturater. You take it every day (or every other day), and over time, it builds up in your system. Therefore, taking it pre-, intra-, or post- workout does not matter. My recommendation would be to get unflavored, Creapure trademarked, micronized Creatine Monohydrate. This is the purest form that…

Unfortunately, you have to peel, de-seed/de-gut, chop, and roast the squash before you puree it into a soup. Lightly coat the squash with a bit of oil and season with kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper... maybe a small amount fresh herbs like sage, rosemary, or thyme if you want. Roast in a preheated 375-400 F oven…

Macros and calorie goals will be different for everyone. It depends on their goals (weight loss, maintenance, or gain) as well as their stats, activity level, current bodyfat %, etc. Protein 0.60-0.82 grams protein per 1 lb. bodyweight (the highest amount justified by research for active individuals). The sedentary…

Not necessarily since weight loss requires a caloric deficit. Therefore, the individual foods you choose do not matter. Weight loss is all about Calories in, Calories out.

You seem to have a good grasp on things then. I also go by bodyweight and the ranges you offered seem legit. I am a proponent of offering macros ranges vs. giving a hard figure.

Why you always gotta make it weird bro?

Not everyone logs, some do not log accurately, and even some don't have the common sense to figure out when they are overeating based on the scale not moving down. Knowing bodyfat % also helps a person to accurately gauge lean body mass. And I see a lot of people like using LBM to calculate their macros on here.
