[/quote]Nope to both! In accurate logging is your problem. Fix your logging and all will be good, honest[/quote] What good is it to fix your logging if what you're logging is not balanced?

good night.

Oh so If I eat 2,000 calories in one meal and nothing else all day, it won't be any different than eating the same number of calories spaced throughout the day huh? ok. I guess the extra calories will just sit in my blood and wait for the end of the day, cause your body doesn't produce insulin or generate glycogen.

My goal is set to the max (I think 2 lbs. per week) but my actual goal is 5 lbs. per week. I weight 230, so that's about 2% (same as biggest loser standard). My recommended calorie intake is like 1900 per day, which is pretty low for a dude IMO, but I feel fine, actually I feel great. Regarding your initial post, really…

I tare my container (usually a Tupperware) and weight everything in that container. If you're using raw stuff, you can always just tare different containers for your different things. My point was I don't have raw meat or blood anywhere near my scale.

My advice is to not do that. I know some people workout on an empty stomach (I forget what they call it) but when I tried that, I had zero energy and my workout sucked. When I'm pinched for time, I eat a Fiber One bar on the way to the gym. It's a little high in sodium and has like 9 g of sugar, but you'll burn off the…

I agree, try to trade out one or two servings of carbs for fresh veggies, and if you're doing steady-state cardio, try one or two HIIT sessions per week to rattle your metabolism a little bit. Whatever you change up, it might take 3-4 weeks to notice, but stick with it and if you're truly putting in hard work, results will…

What time are you waking up, when are you working out and what are you doing 2 or 3 hours after waking up?

It's better to eat 4-5 small meals throughout the day to regulate your metabolism. Skipping breakfast makes that difficult, and some people will likely eat more at lunch to make up for it. If you feel energized throughout the day with no breakfast and you are managing your weight the way you want, than kudos to you, but I…

I weigh my meats after they're cooked and chopped. Weighing cooked vs. raw helps avoid contamination and food poisoning, so that's good :). When making rolls, pita bread, etc., I weight raw dough for consistency. Target has a good digital scale that can switch between oz. and grams for like $20 or something, it's flat,…

My advise is to keep it simple when starting out. Stick to maybe 3 to 5 choices for each meal and do not veer from them for at least a month. Here's some specific examples that have worked well for me: Breakfast: Fruit smoothie with some kale, nuts and oats or 2 poached eggs with 1/2 a sweet potato or 2 pieces of whole…

Try this: some berries, Greek yogurt and your favorite crunchy cereal on top (homemade yogurt parfait). Just go easy on the berries, or the sugar may keep you up! Also, maybe put some raw oats at the bottom to soak up some of the fruit juice; otherwise it could make your yogurt a little watery.

Correction, started at 250.

First, congratulations on your success to this point. The fact that you are still here puts you ahead of many people who have given up on their "resolutions." I took a peek at your diary and I saw a pattern jump out very quickly: Most of your diet seems to be carbs followed by meat (including some red meat) with some dairy…

If you want to keep the sugar in your diet (ideally from fruit) then I would suggest eating them shortly before workouts. This way you have plenty of energy to do your cardio/weight lifting, and very little left over to be converted to fat.
