Yeah, just intolerant to lactose I guess, normally get blaoted or gassy with dairy in general...

So I probably am sensitive to it and just never realized it

Gah! Almost feels like I can eat nothing (even though there are a variety of recipes!) :)

I've been following more of a paleo style (health reasons) but tend to eat a lot of chocolate over my macros one day

I just started coaching so yes, that is my goal to be able to do that, I was just wondering from this community too. Oh please don't take that the wrong way? I've been looking at different bikini bodybuilding programs on bodybuilding.com and seeing where they compare to the Beachbody programs. Not that I was going to…

Starting point is that I kind of look soft but muscular?? So wanting to lean out but start getting to the "look"?

What other program would you suggest?

I am a beachbody coach for now, and I have all the workout programs already, so I want to see to what extent can I use these programs? I know bodybuilding.com has great stuff, but I prefer the videos as they are more my style.

I really like that! Thank you!

Okay, the hardest thing for me is to get enough protein as 1g/lb bw and fit in other stuff I like

So maintenance is a waste of time? I should just keep dieting straight until it comes off?

So I could be in a caloric deficit for 20 weeks and not mess up my metabolism or ability to lose weight?

I still want to look my very best, and someone said that their friends have had amazing transformations with it, so I was just wanting to know if cutting out the fruit, dairy, wheat for 2 days then normal days (cycling) would help? Carb cycling maybe work?

Bump

2. So it's best to eliminate them or really reduce their frequency? 4. As in instead of 2 days total body, 1 arm, 1 leg, 1 day cardio, should I be adding like 20 min HIIT to my weight training workouts? (I usually have 20-30 sec rest with weight workouts)

The eggs I have are those similar macros and calories

Haha thanks! Watched finding nemo and chose this fishy haha

So any suggestions then?

Well by cutting, I mean that I'm getting ready for a pageant and I have 12 weeks till then, and want to look fit (not another skinny girl) for the pageant. But I have like 15lbs to lose so was just wanting to know if I cut these out, will it help me achieve my goal in time for the swim suit portion?

Any suggestions on macros?

Okay! That makes sense. Concerning training, should I add more weight training, make the workouts any longer, or just do the 3 day lift, 2 day hiit, 1 day yoga, 1 day rest? And macros, any suggestions that would be most effective for when I do start my cut?

So I was trying to do a metabolic reset or eating at tdee for a while for my metabolism, but now have this so should I just go back straight to the deficit?

Sorry on the word tone, I mean tightening up? Yes I do an upper body, lower body, total body-with weights, and 2 days cardio, 1 day yoga, 1day rest. My estimated tdee is 2200ish. But here is where I get the issue of people telling me that I should be netting my bmr and not eating below it. I did it for 2-3 weeks, and just…

Oh sorry didn't get notified on that part haha

So with the tdee (is that the sedentary + exercise?) - 20% equals 1680 calories. With mfp settings at sedentary and 1lb lost =1340 With mfp at sedentary and 1lb lost +300 calorie burn=1640 With mfp at lightly active and 1lb lost=1560 Mfp at active and 1 lb=1850 I'm not obsessing over the numbers but need guidelines haha

I'm sorry I'm confused still haha

Thank you! And yes I am really excited to do it!! So if my tdee is 2050 (1750+excersise burn) according to the above calculations, wouldn't that be maintainence then instead of weight loss?

So if I am 1750 for tdee on sedentary and burn 300 calories a workout, would that be 2050? Would I just eat in a 20% deficit of that?

So for activity level, if I'm sedentary but workout 4-5 times a week 30-40 minutes is that light activity or moderate?

Oh it shows up in all columns? Sorry about that! Haha
