That sounds like a good idea. There is a lot of "science" by many Bros which say you need super high protien but speaking from experience and actual science you dont. In retaining muscle you need a good lifting program first, and then adequate protein. 1 gram per pound of lean body wright should be plenty.

Your weight will stall periodically. Also for weight loss calories in/out is more important then macros. Is there a reason your carbs are so low and protien high? You really only need like .8grams of protien per kg of body weight. Or if you want a higher number I go 1 gram per pound of LEAN body weight. Do you weigh your…

Can you find someone to be a workout buddy? It doesn't work as well if you do cardio but for weight lifting it's great, you have someone to keep you accountable, push you, and spot you. Or find some good workout jams and go to town on your workout. You gotta find the thing that gets you excited, for me it's lifting and…

You might want to look into a good body weight program, could be more beneficial then light weights.

A lot of people way over estimate the amount of protien they need. You really only need like .8grams per kg of body weight

Well sugar isn't really a macro the way you are thinking about it. Macros are carbs, fat, protien. Although sugar is a simple carb. So the real question if you want to keep your macros in check is are you going over on carbs. If you are then one option would be to limit fruits. Sugar is processed the same in your body…

Why so much protien? I'd go 1 gram per pound of lean body weight and make room for some carbs and fat.

What everyone else has said, tracking calories and maintaining a deficit is key to weight loss, get a food scale. To answer your questions though cardio can help you increase your deficit. Weight training will help you retain muscle mass. Bodybuilding.com is a good place to find routines.

Also "toning" is really just the process of losing fat to reveal your muscle. Is hard to build muscle while in a deficit (even when I was in. Surplus I gained muscle very slowly, 22year old male lifting 5 days a week). That's not to say you can't make some strength gains though. Your focus should be retaining as much…

Metal. Killswitch, revocation, battlecross, allegeon, veil of maya to name a few.

The company that did my colleges food has all their meals entered in mfp. Could be the same for yours. Or like other side get good at eyeballing.

Obviously you are eating more then you think you are. Or you're over estimating your calories burned. Also just so you know, unless you have a medical condition, saying you don't eat bread or "added sugar" (which is processed internally the same as "natural sugar") really doesn't mean much to your weight loss seeing as you…

Bodybuilding.com remember though keeping your fat low is going to be a matter of diet not the workout plan, lifting plans dont build fat it builds muscle. The smaller your calorie surplus the smaller your fat gain will be, although it would also mean adding muscle slower.

Bulking and building muscle may be the same in your mind but I think what people are saying is that a women will not get "bulky looking" which is true. You see women look very strong but it isn't common to see women who looks bulky. Even for most men it takes a pretty strict workout and diet regimen to really bulk up. Also…

He saying he does a push pull legs split which is extremely common for body builders. It's very simplistic to think of the waist up as a whole. As back is pulling chest is pushing different motions, so it's actually a pretty balanced split. OP from my experience my gf used to lift with me and she would do the exact same…

Not to mention lifting weights doesn't burn that many calories. If you're lifting weight it should be to either retain muscle or build muscle, otherwise it's a waste of time you could spend on cardio, meal prep, countless other things. OP I agree find a good 2/3 day a week full body weight program if you haven't already.…

Meal timing has no effect on weight loss. As long as your in a calorie deficit you'll lose. So yes go ahead and break up your meals how ever you want. The only thing meal timing can effect is the hunger you feel and potentially your energy levels.

Completely agree

Sugar is sugar regardless of if it comes from fruit or soda. Also sugar doesn't directly effect weight loss. And WW has a flawed system because you should keep track of the fruits and vegetables you eat because you could just eat fruits and veggies all day and if you're over maintenence you'd gain weight. You're over…

Idk that you could do it on mfp you might have to just track another way, how much you eat each day. For instance if maintenence is 2000 calories a day to maintain weight, for a week you would eat 14000 calories. Keep track of daily calories and at the end of the week make sure you are under 14000 and you'll lose weight…

It is purely about your calories and being in a deficit if you keep track of how much over you binge eat and make up for that in the week to maintain a deficit you'd still lose. You're weight would fluctuate a fair amount but the overall trend would be downward. Also I can't speak for how good it'd be for you in overall…

Diet for weight, exercise for health. Have you seen any loss in weight? If so how much? After 4 weeks you should probably see at least a small change on the scale. As for visual changes it might take awhile to really see huge changes. Like I said first though weight loss is all about calorie deficit. How accurate are you…

I've done a few programs on body building.com the one I haven't done but that I'd do if I was picking a program would be Arnold's blueprint to mass. It's set up as push pull legs twice per week. Always focus on good form, don't try to lift more then you can handle. Diet is important too. For muscle building you need a…

Tabata.

Yep absolutely just stay within your calorie goals

It's very common swimmers will refer to it is a losing your feel of the water. There are some drills you can do to help a bit but really you just need to get back I the pool a few days and you'll get back into it. When I same competitive even a long weekend of not swimming could make me feel a little weird once I got back…

Looks fine to me. Just remember when it comes to weight loss it's all about calories in, calories out, macros aren't that important.

First question is easy, yes start lifting now! It'll help you retain muscle and make you look more "toned" as you lose weight. You might gain a little muscle if you're new to lifting but it won't be that much. Also it shouldn't be enough to completely offset weight loss (except maybe a bit of extra weight in the begining…

Gin and tonic is always refreshing! I'm vacationing too this weekend except it'll be a lot of beer. Oh well, I'm just going to enjoy it!

Starvation mode isn't a real thing at least in the way most people describe. Your metabolism can slow but it'll take awhile and you'll still lose weight it would just a slower pace. The reason why you don't want huge deficits is because it's really bad for muscle retention. If you're low you could pretty easily get some…
