Everyone's different in how they feel the best. If what you're doing is working for you, keep doing it! If you want to try changing it up, change it up. The worst that will happen is that you'll go back to your old way because it works better for your body. If you're trying to build muscle or retain muscle in a calorie…

Depending on my mood, I'll play into it, which usually takes them by surprise and don't know how to react, or I'll chew them out with words that are too big for them to understand in a loud enough voice that draws attention. I've gone so far as to snap a picture and post it to social media labeling him as some sort of…

Veggies! All the veggies! zucchini, mushrooms, cucumber, celery,and lettuce are lower carb options. I also enjoy broccoli, green beans, and Brussel sprouts. Another favorite to sneak into my meals is riced cauliflower. I mix it with real rice, use it as a sub, and mix it in with oats.

As you get stronger, grow you back, don't be afraid to have to go up a size in bras. :blush: Those wings need room to fly.

If you're really expert/advanced, that indicates a level of skill and technique involved to make swimming easier. Coupled with adaptation to the exercise, and the fact that fins, and zoomers actually make it easier to get more speed, I think you're grossly over estimating calorie burn. I was a competitive swimmer in…

They're ripping you off! You have to ask, and it's kinda like a secret menu, but a lot of times, there's a private offer or $99 for the year. I like PF because free WIFI, AC in the summer, and they're open when no one else is. They're also walking distance from my job, which I need. It's a beginner's gym that's better than…

I work 7-2 and then 3:30-5:30. I'm essentially out of my house from 5AM to 7PM M-S. If you're using MFP, USE MFP. Plan your food and meal prep it. I'll skip ahead to Monday and enter all my meals and food for the day and use that as a meal plan for the day and for the week. On Sunday, I make and store the food in ready to…

I don't have a picture to post here, but you can check out my Instagram. I've been successful in improving the peach. Consistent progressive overload to the glutes. I've been going about 3 years, 2-3 days per week. I focus on compounds movements 5-12 reps 3-4 sets. I mean squats, deadlifts, lunges, hip thrust, or some…

I also have issues with the scale. If I know a weigh in is going to be bad, or I mentally don't want to deal with the number, I don't. I check in a few days later. If I know I've done everything right, I do my best to ignore the scale. Also, while I'm not perfect, I try to think about it as a lifestyle instead of on track…

Supplements are a waste of money and total crap. Pre-workout is stupid. Creatine is found in food. Eat real food for protein. Eat veggies for other health. GymShark (the clothing company) has very low quality clothes that are unflattering, and they have poor customer service. I hate crop tops. Now that I've offended 98% of…

I also like to make a Chipotle type bowl using riced cauliflower in stead of rice and greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Ingredients: - 170g riced cauliflower - 150g chopped bell pepper - 1 bouillon cube - 1 tsp cumin - 4 oz seasoned chicken breast (pre cooked) - 1 oz fat free cheese (or regular fat cheese) - 1/2 cup…

I like to put riced cauliflower and egg whites in my oats for tons of volume! It also helps to keep carbs lower and protein higher... but mostly volume. Ingredients: 1/3 cup oats 85 g riced cauliflower cinnamon pinch of salt Cover with water and microwave 3 min. Stir. Microwave again 3 min. Add: 100g egg whites (2 egg…

I watch the fitness YouTube and Scroll Social Media for entertainment. I don't idolize them or look up to them however. It's more like a reality TV interest type thing. That and food ideas because I love food.

Try drinking at least a glass of water before and after eating. Also, you might like volume eating. Basically make meals that take up a lot of space usually by adding more veggies. For example, you can make a HUGE salad by using a whole bag of lettuce, other veggies, add chicken or what ever you want. It takes a while to…

What do you like to eat? Throw it in a crock pot.

Calorie labels are allowed 10% wiggle room. That's why macros are more accurate.

The answer you probably don't want to hear is that it depends. It depends on how intense and long your calisthenics sessions are. It depends on how long and intense cardio is. It depends on how much your eating. It depends on if you're feeling burnt out. Do what feels good, and do what you can maintain for the rest of your…

Everything everyone has said, and bands! I like the hip circle for activation/burn out. Also, push through your heal, not your toes when lifting. Picture your glutes squeezing every rep, and actually squeeze them! Mind-muscle connection is huge!

Everyone has great advise! My two cents would be to keep it simple and "bro" at least at first. Crock pot some chicken for the week, bake a bunch of veggies (green beans/broccoli/Brussels sprouts) and bake some potatoes or rice. It's mostly hands off, and you're left with easy, nutritious, and I think, delicious meals. Use…

That looks awesome!

I do. With all the fiber supplements out there, a lot of them are not natural (from fruit/veg). It doesn't make sense to me to subtract.

I've tried them! They're good if you like vanilla.

Meal Prep. I cook for 5-6 days at a time. They're all simple and healthy and fit my calorie and macro goals. When i saw cook, I mean breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, "dessert" (I always make oats.). I don't have time during the week to veer of course even if I wanted to, so I stick to it. I'll have 1-2 days on the weekends…

This thread is awesome!

You can find any supplement in natural food. That's the point of a supplement, to add to what you're already doing. It's not necessary to get strong, aesthetic, or athletic. Eat enough nutrient dense food, drink enough water, get enough sleep, and you'll be better than most.

oh hey there friend?

Stick to whole foods. If you're in a calorie deficit, you'll lose weight. If it's related to an allergy or disease, then by all means avoid it.

Maybe you could try some lower impact plyometrics. I also enjoy doing walking lunges on the tread mill.

If you're in a deficit, you're not gaining weight. The change in exercise can change your body, in the beginning while you're body's adjusting or after a long time. Your body adapts to different exercises. The more you do it, the easier it gets because you might build muscle where you need it etc. However, at first, your…
