Yeah it does seem to really hit you psychologically. Your lifestyle sounds ridiculously similar to my own, 12hr working days, minimum of an hours exercise daily due to a cycle commute before you add in my gym time. So believe me I know all about there not be enough hours in a day. I just love MFP and its benefits, just…

There is no right or wrong way to position your hands really. The standard military press up are hands shoulder width apart, various hand positions work different muscles.

Agree with everyone else, if he is not grateful for the meal you have put in front of him, he knows where the kitchen is. Call me progressive but I don't think he has any right to expect a meal on the table just because you are his partner and you live together, certainly not one he will dictate. This ain't the 1950's were…

I don't see how placing a bowl of pasta on a scale, grating some parmesan cheese on top and taking the reading is so time consuming and unpractical? Like I say its literally seconds, I mean you wont start to consume the pasta right away anyway, you let it rest a little so that it can cool to a temperature suitable to eat.…

This is pretty concerning really, I've not been logging nearly as long a most here, so I've probably not had the same experiences overall. Not making large meals because of weighing the ingredients or not eating out because you can't find the nutritional info is completely alien to me. It takes a matter of second to put an…

Checking my feed, its damn difficult to meet your specifications, like i said in a previous post most don't share that type of info because they would simply lose business/customers if they were to post their knowledge rather than share it one to one. massy.arias she regularly posts workouts and routines, no BS but not all…

There are lots to follow, think you are maybe asking for a little too much though. PT/trainers etc don't usually post routines as that is generally where they make their money, but i do have one or two that will do the occasional post like that. I'll send you a couple names I follow shortly.

Male or female?

I'm with everyone else, give him oral. He'll just know..

It usually tastes like worse than plastic better sticking to real food.

Can't even correctly spell weight correctly for the web link, put me straight off. Then I open the bloody thing and I am met with "To what degree is a person's body weight affected by the ambient temperature and humidity? Do we conserve or release water as the climate changes?" Considering our bodies sweat in the heat I'd…

That's not how losing fat works unfortunately fella.

My apologies as you can probably tell from "it takes a brave man to bulk", I completely got the wrong end on this one. Last time i skim read a thread, should probably have clicked by the lack of male responses haha.

At 20 % body fat it takes a brave man to bulk, especially if you consider aesthetics important. You do sound fed up deficit, so for your own sanity I'd try go for a slow "clean" bulk, maybe just a couple hundred calories over TDEE, progressive training an you should see gains with little fat gain.

Personal opinion, stay well clear. Fact, l'carnitine injections did not make your friend lose 15kg. They could well have aided her weight loss, its not a miracle fat burner, she would have still been a significant calorie deficit and I have no doubt she would have lost that weight with or without the injections. You…

Oh I'm sorry next time I post, I'll stop and think what would @janejellyroll say.

.

Right -- but if she is really doing 100 calories or 20% fat, then she likely is not going to be low on fat. That's why it's important to understand what she's really doing. Advising her to eat lots of high fat foods with the diet and macros she claimed would be unhelpful. IF she made a mistake and is really doing 1500…

Is that so? "I've never heard of a plan with 60% protein, 20% fat. I've heard of the other way around. Maybe ask your doctor or a licensed Dietician for a suggestion of what to eat. That plan is pretty extreme - it's going to be difficult to hit those numbers." "60%. I think she is on a 1500 calorie diet but mixed up her…

Everyone jumping on the OP saying they've made mistakes setting up their account etc. Was I the only one that read that this is medically supervised? Although I think there has been an error in the original post, constantly telling OP that they need higher percentages in carbs and protein is simply counterproductive.

It shouldn't really be an issue even on a low cal diet. There are ways of reducing calories from scrambled eggs. I usually have a ratio of 5 white to 2 yolk but more commonly 4 whites to 1 yolk. Use 1 cal spray when cooking rather than butter, if you are a fan of milk and butter through, look at lower calorie options to…

Rarely used, occasionally I'll do pikes and use it as a stretching aide. It does make a fairly good addition to the bed room haha.

I find if you freeze straight away rather than putting them in the fridge after prep when reheated they retain more moisture. Or like @queenliz99 suggested add a little water before you microwave, if I'm reheating at home (depending on the dish) I like to fry up in olive oil rather than microwave, this method uses more…

Haha, I'm aware of that. However, there was no mention of non-dairy alternatives simply "classic butter and sour cheese" that classic combo is not vegan friendly I'm afraid but just so that you are aware, I was being sarcastic..

Not sure you understand the concept of veganism, neither of your recommendations fit the bill. You can never go wrong with baked beans, or any kind of beans for that matter. Throw together a nice bean salad with whatever fruits and veg you fancy.

Couldn't find that article, I have a feeling it may have actually been print media. Gotcha, so with good oral hygiene it is basically a non-issue. I certainly won't stop drinking diet drinks on this basis, like others have mentioned multiple foods cause this effect not just diet soda.

I was under the impression that sugar caused this? I read a great article lately, it may have been posted in that aspartame thread. That aspartame does not have the same effect on your teeth, and that it basically a myth that sweeteners other than sugar cause damage. I'll try and find the link, then edit if I find it.…

Id imagine doing multiple exercise at one time would be a challenge. Try doing one after the other. Jokes aside, there is no reason why you can't work the various muscles in your legs on the same day.

Never came across this before. Interesting website, thanks.

there's so much disagreement and bias on the internet though that it is hard to know which research to trust, some say they are efficient in fat burning others say they are a complete waste of time, you can't really win[/quote] The right information is out there, you just need to know where to look and make sure there is…
