Good stuff. Think of creatine like loading a magazine. You add the rounds via your 5g dosage and fire them off when you push those last couple reps beyond fatigue in your workout. When it's empty, it's empty ... Reload. Fire. Reload. Fire. That said, the common expectation of creatine, while effective and consistently…

To thine own self be true and all that. Think you'll agonize over it? Log it... before the guests arrive. Think it'll be fine and you can move on guilt free? Throw caution to the wind and accept the limited, if any, consequences and eat like nobody is watching. The choice... is yours. And it'll be a good one either way.

Are you vegetarian? If not, 77g a day is a cup of eggs for breakfast, a 4 oz. Chicken breast for lunch ,and roughly the same in chicken, fish or whatever for dinner. Done and done.

You had some pretty good answers in the other thread related to this... did they miss the mark or are you looking for something specific?

I do work out, yes. Because I love to eat crap that much. ;)

This issue is "smoke". As you're keen on, it's not your hair or going out with friends or weight that's the problem. I'd say, almost unequivocally, this stems from an issue of insecurity and your husband not feeling "safe". Now, where that stems from in the past I can't say- and you may even have your own issues of hurt or…

Personal anecdote: Years back I used to have a "cheat day", assuming the "fun" foods I ate were "bad" but the foods I'd eat all week (chicken boob, veggies, the usual lineup of "clean eatin' diet foods") were fat burnin' good. I'd burn out every time. Started incorporating, as @jemhh suggested, a few more calories and…

Bulk Supplements makes and iseloate that's high quality, tasteless and relatively cheap by apples to apples comparison:

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, YAAAAAAASSSSSS.

Hey hey heeeeeey!

I eat a metric crapload of sugar a day and lose weight when that's the goal. The sugar intake isn't your probalo. Eat what you want when you want, with an eye on nutritional value and within your calories, and you'll lose weight. Promise.

Yes. Yes. A thousand times yes. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, YOLO, I never said it would be easy... only worth it, etc.

I'll second powdered peanut butter. It's a doppleganging abomination.

Increasing calories, just a bit, might do you some good. At an ongoing loooong deficit, there is a point of diminishing returns... not to mention weight, at this point of the journey, becomes less a thing.

EVERYONE is doing keto.

I "Plateau" all the time. "Plateau'd" for a couple weeks straight just last week. But I would caution to say you've"plateau'd" when, it's only been a few weeks. A month? Maybe. Two months? Probably. That said, it's going to be what works for you, which is going to take some time. Some people keep on keepin' on. And it…

Yes.

Two extremes leaves a lot of room between the poles, where your story very comfortably, and reasonably, fits in. Amiright?

Honestly... I eat sugar. Ergo, no withdrawal. Ergo, life is good.

WTFudge does feminism have to do with respecting a woman's choice to not be interested in you without calling her out as suffering from a superiority complex? :D Agreeing to disagree on the perception. High five back. Also, apples are delicious.

Ummmm... no. Just for clarification, women are God's gift to men, so it's 100% cool if they act the part. Maybe when men express interest in women their response isn't "OMG I am way out of his league", it's "Not interested. Period." Projection is unhealthy, bro. ;)

High five. Or fistbump. Or whatever the cool kids are doing these days.

As mentioned, everyone loves the stronglifts programs. Bodybuilding.com has some very typical and beginner style programs as well. Great call on the addition of weights- with consistency and your eye on nutrition, I'd say welcome to Resultsville... you're gonna be living your username in short order.

I'll never get the whole "He/She won't talk to me so they don't like me." And...? They're obligated to talk to you because you want them to? :D That's some needy, entitled, egocentric crap right there. Yes, I'm judging.

Chalk it up to experience and plan on using those calories for what you'd love tomorrow. Plan that pizza! I've got a homemade chocolate chip cookie recipe that's 160 calories per cookie... if yours is similar you'd be ok if you could stick to just one... :) But yeah, if you want your pizza, just plan it into your calories…

.01% true-ish. But any claim it's highly effective beyond a "baby bump edge" is bro-science. If you get your protein goals per day, you're golden. There is now more emphasis on the protein found amino acid Leucine (4-5g per protein serving) as an activator than the outmoded .01% marginally effective timing thing... but who…

Cheat meal every day. Just keep it in calories/macros.

Legion- Whey+ (chocolate) JayRobb- Whey Isolate (chocolate) Bluebonnet- Whey Isolate (chocolate) Bulk Protein- Whey Isolate (plain)

Freak yeah. Southern Comfort Vanilla Spice. Homina, homina, homina.

When I'm looking at eating the snacks we get for the kiddos lunches and stuff it's usually because... I'm starving and want a quick fix. When I'm full, it's not an issue. If possible, don't starve yourself... or maybe keep your apple stash stacked with Honey Crisp (or whatever) so you can gnosh on that when you're feeling…
