If you're not getting enough protein, then you'll need to recalculate how many grams of protein you'll need per day. Protein for BMR/RMR, and added protein to sustain and build muscular structure.

Only plain filtered/unfiltered water should be tracked as a cup of water. Tea, Coffee, and other beverages are their own food items.

Unless a real doctor has told you otherwise, eat a small snack or meal when it comes to meal times anyway.

Try to improve your Will-Power and Interests.

Throughout your journey recount how better you feel every week or so. Recount mental, emotional, and physical positive changes. Let these be your motivation to do more, and go further. Distance yourself from the negativity, and just continue working towards your goals. Many say the best motivation comes from the rock…

There are several at home workout devices ranging from door hangers to personal gyms. If you can't afford a personal gym or door hanger you could always buy a set of dumbbells; the lower the weight the less expensive they are; when working with free weights form is almost everything, so it's not too bad of a starting…

Yes, you should eat appropriately. Your BMR/RMR matters. Eating less doesn't equate to eating healthier. Averagely, each person needs around 30-50 grams of protein just to sustain healthy bodily organs.

Visceral Fat, the fat around your abdominal region will be easier to burn than Intramuscular Fat, as it's more modifiable through dieting and exercising. Intramuscular Fat, and Subcutaneous Fat will be harder to modify(the fats within the abdominals and around the hips and butt.) There's no real easy fix, even if…

I do have a clue. Sorry that you disagree.

Thank you for practically repeating what I've already said, as well as doing or summing up what little research you've actually done.

Although cross fit activities can be performed for some weight loss, it's more of a profession in the fitness world, allowing some teams to be sponsored, and to become Olympians. Your body and mind have to be in good health; hence why most cross fit training gyms don't have mirrors, and work strictly as a team. Try…

Overall healthy diet. Filtered water, Organic and Non-GMO foods. Antibiotic free, Cage Free/Free from, and Grass fed whenever possible. Low amounts of processed and packaged foods. Mainly eating seasonally whenever possible. Organic and Non-GMO Supplements if needed and when possible.

Your schedule seems to fit an active profile.

Lower your amount of sit-ups and save some energy for exercises like mountain climbers. Sit-ups and crunches are recorded as one of the few exercises that burn the least amount of calories and fat. With pronounced fatty tissue on the abdominal region before training by sit-ups and crunches you're more likely to look…

Resistance bands do have tension differences, so from a fitness aspect it's possible. Understanding differences between types of weight lifting can be helpful and somewhat important.

If the food was of good quality, and the environment is of good quality, then it is safe to empty, rinse, and wipe down most pans after first use to then be used for a second time.

Yes, but unless you've been backed up for a long time it should be minimal with a healthy diet.

Your research is mostly accurate. When it comes to public food items, I've realized what's favored is more popular vote than actual fact.

Thanks for noticing. I was mixing up different items at the time. In most cases, Coconut Oil has a higher calorie count than Olive Oil, usually by 10 Calories for the same 1 tbsp serving; it must differ between what type and brand you're using though I suppose.

Clean and Raw Grass Fed Milk or Almond Milk.

Try starting with a treadmill. Three miles on an elliptical for beginners seems very harsh with the HIIT Bursting.

Coconut Oil, is not only higher in calories, but fats and sugars too. I've never really seen an experienced dieter use more than one tablespoon in smoothies and juices. It's still a healthier oil to use than others, but respectively. Care for how much oil used prepping non-stick surfaces, two teaspoons is usually enough…

It honestly depends on your weight and the impact it currently has on your body. Harsh exercise routines could cause more damage than healing. I'd start light unless otherwise.

Some do drink a glass of warm lemon water in the morning, and it can have positive effects on your body. I don't though; drinking warm or hot water does raise body temperature and it also dehydrates you quicker.

A good breakfast bar is fine. For most people who shop at local Super Markets, Cascadian Farms is among the top quality choices. Their Chewy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Granola bar is deceptively healthier than other breakfast bars. Saves time, energy, etc.…

Most are a waste of time, some do help blood circulation, contractions, and sweating(mainly liquids burned), but very few actually work. If you want a tighter, firmer core you'll have to work on it; in the case you're concerned about, mainly diet restrictions and transverse abdominous exercises.

Make water your main beverage(64 fl oz per day); filtered water, no flavored or carbonated water. Don't drink any soda. Don't add any sweeteners, creamers or other ingredients to your tea and coffee. Use one-fourth or half a cup of milk, or dairy substitute, per half cup/full cup of cereals. Follow portion size if not done…

Work on your core. Don't over do it. Try to focus more on your exterior obliques with light weight, it's easy to over work them and make your love handles look thicker. The goal you want is strictly diet based, eat less of the bad and processed, and more of the good and whole. Calories, Carbs, Fats, Proteins, and Sugars is…

What Bacon are you eating? The pork bacon I eat comes to 280, and 320 calories for 4 pieces if fried.

A lot of on the shelf multivitamins these days contain way less than what they say, in amount, and organic matter. I've used Garden of Life, and Mega Foods Multivitamins. Both are good, USDA Organic, Non GMO Certified, and more.
