Open a chocolate bar and chew together.

Strength training is not just about calorie surplus to support muscle growth. You need to be sure you give enough stress to your muscle to break it down and let it grow back. If your lift never progress, your surplus calorie will be just fat gaining not muscle. Suggest to lean down enough then build muscle. Lean people…

coffee does the trick too. OP, logging food is a good way to learn knowledge but not a daily task to stress you out. I started serious weight cutting 3 months ago. Only logged food for 1 month, then let go. Because after 1 month I have the knowledge, I know what I am eating. What to put to my diet and how much energy it…

Counting calorie. But don't be so crazy of logging everything in an extreme way. I only logged my food for 1 month and let go after. Logging is a strategy to learn the knowledge of what the current diet structure is how much are you eating. After all, you should know what to eat to lose, maintain or bulk.

awesome.

If you dont have problem, there is no reason to cut it. Sodium like people said is essential. Just don't overdo processed food like ham, bread, pizza, ham burger. You will be fine.

This is the consequence of not reading the whole thread. :) My mistake. There is always way to mock our body anyway. We gotta have a goal, make a plan and stick to the plan. :)

keep cutting until 10-12% body fat, then bulk the muscle back. You will look much better.

6'0 goal weight 175 body fat 10-12ish%.

Veggies are not calorie dense, but fruits are. One banana for example will take 100 cal budget.

Greeting. This site has very good tool and database to count calories. Cheers lady.

I did the opposite, I bulk first around bf 25%, then cut down to current 17%. Still in progress to to the goal of 12%. 5x5 strong lift is a very good program for new lifter. I'd recommend to do compound lifting only (i.e. Bench press, squat, deadlift, shoulder press, pull ups/pull down, row). Lift hard and give your body…

Here is my typical diet. Morning : Extra Lean Ham, Greek sauce sandwich. Coffee with Low Fat coffee mate (no sugar) 300 cal. Lunch: White rice, Stir Fried veggie, Chicken breast or Beef Shank (sometimes Salmon or Cod teriyaki) 700-800 Cal Dinner: same as lunch 700-800 Cal Late night snack: Strawberry/ Cherry tomato/ Low…

http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/ Use TDEE calculator to calculate your approximate maintenance calorie intake. You need to create calorie deficit like minus 500 cal from your maintenance level. You will find you lose 1 lb weekly gradually. If you want to preserve some muscle, eat enough protein (0.8 per pound of your body…

I found it's useful. It has nice antioxidant content for your health first of all. And it has some caffeine which eliminate the food craving at some point. It's a very food filler (same as water).

Counting calories. For example, you can eat 3 big mac for 1800 cal and starve for the rest of the day. Or eat balanced meal with 1800 cal with less hunger. For me, I am Asian, so I do white rice as my main carb source. I do 150-180g carb, 150g protein, 90g fat. So approximately 2100-2200 cal per day during my weight losing…

It's good for weight management, but not so good for health. I am on the same boat that can't give up soda totally. I usually drink it with night snack to add some filler.

Taken it before, it worked, then why take again. Don't kind understand. But anyway, good luck.

When you start to workout regularly, you know you don't want to waste all your effort. You will eventually quit sugary stuff, smoking and so on. Best luck to the fitness world.

I enjoyed both. Indoor is more focused, and outdoor is more distracting from the pain.
