Wow, there's no need for your protein to be that high. Calculate your TDEE and start of by eating a 500 calorie deficit (assuming you are already on lower calories this shouldn't be too hard). To calculate your macros 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight is ideal, 0.5g of fat per pound of body weight and then fill…

Im cutting at the moment and I usually do 1-1.5 of protein per pound of body weight, 0.5 gram of fat per pound of body weight then fill the rest up with carbs. When I hit a plateau I lower the carbs so that I am reducing 100 calories for the following week. It's how iv always cut and it's worked for me. U can play around…

Girl! Owwwwn it :D seriously I don't even know what I was worried about!!

Thanks! Keeps me sane !

YES!!

I was previously going to thegymgroup but switched to easyGym as it is closer to work and I can honestly say this gym is probably the only reason that's keeping me in my job ATM!

I'm in Essex but work in London so also train there! Usually get out the door for 5 to get to the gym for 6 to go hard at easyGym!

So I'm cutting at 1800 calories and today I had at least 2500 and didn't even hit my protein goal :(

Personally I think your body does talk to you, every single day. It may not be vocal, but you will feel what makes your body feel like crap, the feeling you get after you eat food that's not good for you - that's your body telling you it doesn't feel good too, the feeling you get when you exercise - the endorphins you…

Accurate. ☺

Just worried brother!

Realized its very few of us on mfp.

Just saw this, yeaaaaaah buddy!!

Same! I HATE cardio, the only cardio machine I can force myself on to is the stair master! I do weight circuit as my cardio. OP are you adding weight as you feel yourself get stronger? There's nothing that gets me more pumped than knowing I can lift heavier than before. The best natural high! Don't have to shoot up for it…

Girl that article had me In stitches ! Hahaha

Thanks ladies! I think it may of been down to the lack of sleep as I got plenty last night on my way to the gym now and feeling very full of energy!!

I have that article linked in my profile. It happens to me a couple times a year. Mostly I get the dip in strength right after ovulation. Leading up to it, I'm stronger than ever after and then there's a decrease as soon as I ovulate. It's not always enough to be problematic but when it happens it comes out of the blue and…

Use the IIFYM website. Gives you your TDEE, cutting, maintaining and bulking calories /macros depending on how how intense you plan to cut/bulk. It is a rough idea and a good place to start, you may have adjust calories to suit you. It's trial and error :)

All I wanted was sex and all he wanted to do was talk about feelings. :D ;)

I weigh myself every Saturday morning. I look forward to it and it helps me push harder during the week to get to see the figures drop (currently cutting). I also have a hot bath with Epsom salt on a Friday night so i am not holding any water weight the next morning for My weigh in :)

Dude ur frikkin HILARIOUS!! HAHAHA thanks !

Thanks hun x

Weirdly enough I weighed myself yesterday morning because I knew I was eating out later on in the night (my weigh in is on a Saturday morning) and usually cheat meals make me weigh heavier the next day. I am cutting and I lost 1lb during the week. After eating pt yesterday and really enjoying a massive chocolate cake I was…

My recipe is a WINNER. Wash and dice the sweet potatoes, spray with olive oil and add garlic salt (if you prefer low sodium then add Mrs dash garlic and herb seasoning), pepper and Italian herb seasoning. Toss them til they are all covered, Then bake til soft. ENJOY :) <3

My body does that too hun, main reason why I actually avoid bad foods even if I am craving them , I know my body will feel sluggish and I'll get down. Remember slow progress is better than no progress sometimes we are really harsh on ourselves when its not needed. If you do end up cheating just move on from it and start…

Audio stimuli. If you go to 'Mateusz M' YouTube he has some really great motivational videos. When the going gets tough I listen to them to remind myself of the bigger picture and my goal. Gets me so pumped not going to lie :)

I wake up at 3.45am everyday to get out the house for quarter to 5 to get the 5am bus , get to the gym for 6am to workout and then go to work. I work as a PA so I am on my feet a lot, by the time I get home its 9- 10pm so I make sure meal prep on Sundays and Wednesdays to get me through the week. Iv found of you eat 6…
