There you go. Wasn't so hard to give a proper explanation now was it. Your 2nd post is WAY more helpful.

If you aren't losing weight then what you think you are eating now is not correct. You need to change this mindset. Dont start eating 1776 calories now unless you Weigh EVERYTHING and see how many calories you are truly eating. Don't cheat yourself by logging entries that are not by weight. make sure you are counting all…

OK so I understand that water may not do it for you but...... If you take this attitude everyday then you will always be "over" and weight loss would not occur. Please be mindful that when you make statements like these you are not helping anyone. Secondly, your fat loss diet is seriously flawed if you are left feeling…

What does "eating healthy" even mean? You can put on weight even if all you ate was celery but you ate more calories than your body burned. Yet celery would be considered a "healthy" food.

How long have you been dieting? How was your weightloss going up until you stopped losing? When did you stop losing weight?

Id seriously question your BF being 10% if a) a scale told you so and b) you have 2-3 inches to lose from your gut. BF scales are sh1t! They flat out don't work. Go to your local gym and see if a personal trainer can take your skinfolds with a calliper. At 10% body fat you will have visible abs. Visible abs very rarely…

You should really think twice about not having rest days. Burn out can happen very quickly!

Eh?? Low carb is only low calorie if you don't replace the calories that you don't get from carbs! By your reckoning if I eat 2500 calories with only 10% from carbs I'm eating less calories than if I eat 2500 calories with 50% from carbs!

Correct, you can't build muscle in a calorie deficit (although body recomposition in your first 6 months of serious lifting is very possible). Exercise, especially when involving weights, will still cause microscopic tears in the muscle fibres, hence the soreness. when you are in a calorie deficit your body can only repair…

Don't weigh yourself every day!! 2-3 times a week should be enough. Always at the same time of the day and always in the same state of dress. Honestly you started a few days ago - you don't really need to be weighing yourself this soon. Forget the scales for now. As for the science - If you are feeling sore then you are…

Download an ebook called "The Shredded Chef" by Mike Matthews. I think its pretty cheap on Amazon.

Lower weight doesn't always mean lower body fat %. However, if you are following a good weight lifting plan, lifting 3-5 times per week and eating sufficient protein then lower body weight is more likely to mean lower body fat%. You would certainly lose body weight the same if you were eating junk but staying within your…

You need to be more scientific with your dieting. "not eating much" could be too little which would cause you to feel tired. Do you log a food diary in MFP?
-
What do you mean by a lot of weight in a short space of time? How much weight? over how long?
-
How do you know you are eating 1200 calories if you don't weigh your food? This will undoubtedly be the reason your weight loss has stalled.
-
Quite the contrary, if you are following a weight training program its actually beneficial to eat something directly before you go to bod to help your body repair muscle damage.
-
BroScience 101. "Muscle confusion" is a myth. Happy to post research that supports this if you really need me to. Muscles DO adapt to workouts BUT the only "confusion" needed is progressive overload. Posting nonsense about *kitten* like this is what confuses people who are new to lifting weights. Eat good food. Lift heavy.…

Read this: http://www.muscleforlife.com/food-to-gain-weight/ Drink fruit juice, eat peanut butter and simple carbs!!
-
When you say carbs are you meaning processed carbs. Its misleading to say that carbs are calorie dense when in fact they contain 4 calories per gram regardless of what types of carbs they are. However, processed carbs are known to not keep you satiated for as long as unprocessed carbs, which is the point I assume you are…
-
Agreed. And don't buy into their pointless supplementation advice. Just supplement your diet with more real food. No weight gainer in the world can compete with a porridge oats, banana, peanut butter and milk smoothie.
-
Work out your macros first. Once you know how much protein you should be eating check your diet to see if you can get your required protein from other foods. If the answer to this is yes then you don't need the protein shake.
-
Thanks - I wasn't aware of this.
-
Your body doesn't work like this. Your body can't store fat if you are in a deficit. 2 cheat meals whilst in a deficit can obliterate any deficit you have created throughout the rest of the week. What are your cheat meal? How many calories do you eat on your cheat day? What are your current stats? Height, weight etc? How…
-
Yeah a refeed really isn't for speeding up fat loss. Its more about increasing glycogen levels to assist in weight training. Generally on a refeed day you will reduce your protein and fat levels and increase your carbs. 300g certainly wouldn't class as a refeed. more like double that. You still try to keep your calories…
-
If you are lifting weights then you will need all of them carbs. I would personally prefer a high protein diet when training for fat loss. It keeps you fuller for longer and it will also help to minimise muscle degradation so I wouldn't be concerned about eating 240g. If your weight loss stalls I would firstly reduce your…
-
Lifting weights can accelerate weight loss. There are even studies that show how weightlifting is more beneficial for weight loss than steady state cardio. Plus you will maintain your muscle mass which is important.
-
I don't agree with this. When calculating your TDEE you factor in your exercise. You then work out your weight loss calories using this figure so your exercise is included already. Any ADDITIONAL exercise should be eaten back in calories.
-
Hey. What are your current stats? height, weight etc? 1500 sounds low for a regular bloke. However, if you get your calorie intake right (i.e you are in a deficit daily and averaged out over the week) you can lose weight without doing any additional exercise. Depending on your goals you may need to start exercising more…

"Like I am over wasting my time working out...." Firstly, this is going to be a problem if you wish to lose weight healthily and keep that weight off. Id recommend you start enjoying working out first because when its a chore you are less likely to stick to it. Secondly, track your calorie intake. use scales. It doesn't…

300g Sirloin steak with feta cheese and Jelapenos and 250g of sweet potato fries.
