Just keep it at 1500. Try to minimize the 100-200 over days. Your diet looks good, you have tightened it up the last few days. Keep that up, and keep exercising hard. You don't have any medical issues that would effect all of this, do you?

Yes, squats amd bench pressing are generally harder with long limbs, but you can't do anythink but keep working hard. Generally tall, long limbed lifters have a mechanical advantage doing deadlifts though.

Explain this, weight =weight? fat, muscle, bone, connective tissue, skin, all the same? Do you subscribe to the BMI unconditionally. So most NFL linebackers, running backs, tight ends, defensive ends, even some defensive backs and wide recievers are obese, or close to it? Even though they are lean and muscular for te most…

I have never heard of that. I learned something new, cool. Is there a medical reason for the low protein? If not, you have to get it up. It's only 10% of your calories. Maybe your nutritionist meant 50-70 grams of quality, complete protein. You could only count things like eggs, meat, soy, etc. towards that 50-70. That…

Unless you have an untreated medical condition, all you can do is find ways to eat more. Liquid calories are easy. That is probably just your natural size, but if you want to change it, you will have to try harder.

You must be very thin. Forget about the extra cardio. It sounds like you haven't changed your weight training in a while, and there is the intensity thing. Read up, but a full body split three times a week is enough, if you are working hard. Work harder, closer to your max when you lift. Do things like pullups, shoulder…

This is a good point. I wouldn't have thought this would be the case, because it's hard to build muscle, especially with a calorie deficit. People don't always notice their body changing because they see it all the time. Do you have a picture from before that you can compare to one you can take now? Not to post, for…

Congratulations, on losing the weight and on being 31. My sister and my estranged wife are 31. It's a good age. Actually they're both kind of crazy and mean. I checked your picture to make sure you're not one of them. Are you crazy and mean? J/K. Keep working hard.

If you have gotten good results, and it works for you, I don't see the need to change it up drastically. Perhaps a good compromise would be keeping your every other day lifting schedule with the 20 min cardio after, but lifting a little harder, and doing more cardio on the days in between. You said you are strong but don't…

Break down what you eat a little. How much of your calories come from fat, carbs, and protein? What kind of carbs and fats? Are you counting all calories? Liquid calories like soft drinks or twenty packets of sugar and liberal use of creamer in 10 cups of coffee a day, alcoholic beverages (which obviously you are not old…

I guess maybe I don't know these terms, like tdee. Anyway, it seems you ARE only eating 1500 calories or so a day. I'm a little stumped. I am not intimately familiar with p90x3, but I've watched the original p90x videos and watched people do them/try to do them. They are very demanding. It's obviously not working though.…

Your boyfriend sounds like a "bro". There is overtraining, undertraining, and optimal frequency. Eating right, sleeping enough, taking supplaments, and taking drugs will help recovery and make overtraining less likely. But, you can still overtrain. Especially if you are lifting very heavy, near your limit. That will tax…

****** crappy

Keep exercising the same, and simply eat less calories. If I understand correctly, you are actually eating 2100-2200 calories daily? It doesn't even really matter, to get the scale moving, take whatever amount of calories you actually eat in a day, not net calories from some formula, and subtract 300. Eat that, and try to…

I think they are similar if you pay attention to what type of foods you are getting your calories from. I am familiar with weight watchers and my mom has lost 50 lb. since January by counting points.

It would help to have your workout. I looked up stronglifts and it's based on barbell lifts, with emphasis on the power lifts, so you can't do it exactly.You can get a good workout, if you truly want to. Provided the dumbells go high enough, you could do db squats every workout. Those are kind of a squat-deadlift hybrid…

My keyboard quit responding. I was going to say I have a shake with whey and dextrose before and during my workouts. Oddly, I have done low carb and didn't feel tired or weak, just hungry.

I eat very high carb(>700g/day), low fat. I'm trying to gain muscle again after being stagnant for a couple years, and fix lipids. I feel good when lifting of course. I drink a shake wit I'm not really puffy either. My body is used to it though and I seem to handle carbs well. I was skinny as a teenager, an ectomorph. I…

1500-1600 a week or day? I assume day. How much have you lost total? Is the three pounds it or has it just slowed to that rate in the last two months? Have you been consistently at 1500-1600 for months with no break? What do you do for exercise? I ask because I think people follow this app too closely without adjusting for…

Also, keep reading and learning about weight training. You will learn more and more and things will start to make sense and fall into place . Pretty soon you will be very knowledgeable. As you lift and progress you will keep learning, the real kind of learning you can only get by applying what you have read and testing and…

There are a lot of things you can do. You can do pushups, bodyweight squats, dips, pullups. You probably can't do a pullup yet, but you can try, or do part of one, of just lower yourself. These are not exercises where you lift weights, but they are resistance exercises,which is what weight training is. For someone who has…

That picture is hilarious. I don't understand the friends thing. Isn't this like a message board for people using this app? What is the benefit of being someone's friend on here?
