To be honest I wouldn't recommend tracking your exercise using the MFP log, either cardio or strength training! No doubt you'll be burning a lot of calories via strength training, however if you've calculated your macros properly then it should have already taken into account the type of training and intensity that you do,…

You'll find this is happening because you're either A) adding in the exercise you do every day or B) You've left the steps tracker on. Both options will add extra calories to your daily allowance because it believes you need to 'eat them back'. My advice is that you calculate your macros again to make sure it accounts for…

My advice to you is to not track your exercise or steps in the MyFitnessPal app. If you've calculated your macros properly, it should have already taken into account the amount of exercise you do on a weekly basis, so there's no need to track the exercise you're doing! All its doing is encouraging you to eat more and has…

Hey everyone! I'm Sam, I'm 22 years old and I'm an Online Coach and PT, but I'm also one of the mentors in this thread! :) I've been a keen user of MFP for a few years now, as it's basically my right hand man in my form of dieting which I follow myself and teach to clients, which is Flexible Dieting. Basically I was once a…

Although its very unlikely that you can effectively gain muscle in a deficit, its still possible. Because you're stimulating the muscle group every single day and putting it through a certain amount of volume, your body will have to respond to that and adapt in order to cope with the physical demands, especially if you've…

1 - Reduce Calorie Intake throughout the day to allow more calories for thanskgiving / christmas treats, that way you can stay on track 2 - Add additional volume to your workouts (extra sets, reps, exercises or sessions) to increase your daily calorie burn, giving you extra room for additional snacks or treats 3 - Increase…

Hey man, I'll answer a few of those questions for you! 1 - If your calorie goal is 2340kcal, only eating 640kcal will be doing no good for your goals long term. Thats a severely low amount of calories which can onset quite a few health implications. My advice would be to increase your portion sizes firstly to help increase…

This is something I had to go through with one of my clients. Personally I would turn the calorie adjustment function off as in my opinion it can be quite distracting. Eating different amount of calories every single day will become a nightmare in terms of meal planning and consistency. Instead what you should do, is take…

Although I dont usually recommend this, I believe Supplements are your best way forward. For someone with a busy lifestyle, weight-gainer supplements are quick, easy and effective. They'll also be pretty cost effective too so I'd suggest looking into weight-gain supplements. I'd personally go with MyProtein products as…

Its natural that you will gain a little bit of fat while gaining muscle, in fact its pretty much impossible to not gain one without the other! Keep your calorie surplus window very small to minimalise the amount of weight you gain. For a healthy 'lean gain' phase, I'd suggest around a 300kcal surplus to start with, and you…

Hey there, I'm a Flexible Dieter and eating out while sticking to my macros is something I'm pretty experienced with, so here are my tips! 1. Pre-plan your Nutrition the day before. Find the meal you wish to have at the restaurant, and log this into your food diary first of all so it deducts from your targets. Then simply…

Hey man that's great to hear! I agree with you completely, since I've been flexible dieting I've now stopped craving foods, I very rarely don't track anything that I eat.
