Awesome guys. Thanks for the advice. I guess deep down I knew it wouldn't be right to do right now but needed the reassurance. Thank you everyone :)

That's awesome! I already do that. I find that things like salad go realy yucky after a day... So wanting to try something like Brocolli, runner beans etc but freeze it... I like to prep a whole week as I tend to have a busy schedule.

Just to point out I have actually had a lot of experience with weight lifting and exercise, which is why I know I'm capable. I used to have a BF of 17% and fell ill for a couple of years which resulted in me feeling sorry for myself and eating my body weight in rubbish! I've been eating clean and training since July 2015,…

Thanks thats great :)

Unfortunately not, they are over 80miles away.. I live in the middle of nowhere!

No No I use protein whey for protein supplement never as a replacement. 98kcal 2g fat 2g carbs 21g protein...

I have tried to but the setting wont let me change it... That article is quite interesting and hilarious. I guess I am in denial about my calories... I have always counted calories and have achieved a weight loss before (unfortunately fell off track due to an illness) so I thought I was an expert at counting calories!…

My main protein intake comes from protein shakes - I have around 2-3 per day, 1 with unsweetned almond milk and others with water. I also eat a lot of chicken and turkey as well as some fish here and there..

Thats correct yes most definitely... I am definitely doing something wrong, I agree with that, but I do not think that it is calorie counting that is going wrong... and can 1 cheat meal of around 700kcals (keep in mind that I cut back on what I have that day because of this) per 3 weeks have that impact? I mean if I wasnt…

Again, I control my cheat meal and it is usualy still home-made and around 700kcal, but I usually don't eat as much during the day if I know I'm going to be cheating... Also, in terms of "hard work" it is quite hard, my HR reached around 180 and I'm dying after each workout!

I would actually like to increase muscle, which I naturally have no problem with, its just getting rid of the fat. My thighs, hips and glutes are where I store all my fat. Also, I think its important to include that my intake goals are: Protein: 154g carbs: 119g fat:31g and I seem to be hitting it quite well daily...

Also, my polar ft7 is what I use to calculate calories...

I actually HIIT using insanity workout by Shaun T, so its pretty darn intense...

Yes I weight everything on the scales and record on here... I'm very careful with my intake as I am pretty serious about this. I eat very clean too, and spike my metabolism with a cheatmeal per 2-3 weeks. In terms of BF% I guess it could be lower than 29% however, I have used the same method each time, so either way the %…

I don't understand how I've only had a deficit of 250? I'm pretty serious about how I weight foods etc... and also as mentioned I burn around 800kcal per day which I dont eat... my goal is more focused on BF% and would like to reach around 15% - I measure it on the scales as well as using callipers..

No... i am NOT eating exercise calories.. I never do... The most calories I eat per day is 1300, and never over. I have used the Harris Benedict Equation...

Yeah ofcourse.... My starting weight was 68kg 2 months ago exactly today... Now weighing at 66kg. I have measured BF on scales and also with callipers and have only lost 2% whilst these may not be accurate methods it is the only way... Also, I feel as though I am much fitter and everyone keeps telling me how much weight I…

Do I take the risk of eating more calories? Can the body really not shred fat if I'm not eating enough?! You'd think that it would use it for energy! Aghhh

Thank you for this! I have already created a calorie defecit of 500kcal as well as not eating the calories I burn, which is around 800kcal per day... I have lost 2%BF but feel as though this isnt enough considering all the hard work I am putting in...
