Literally the EXACT same as me. Suffered from losing then gaining and just not going anywhere due to binge eating. I know my binge eating is fueled by my negative self image. Just have to learn to be happy with who I am and work hard to improve myself. I also have an issue comparing myself to others which is something I…

Thank you all so much, all great info and I appreciate the time you all took to post. It’s definitely been a huge struggle with me. After losing 130 pounds, I was still not happy with my body and eventually fell into binge eating for 2017. I hover around 195-200 pounds so gained a fair amount, but I did gain some muscle as…
-
Always heard from many successful dieters to follow macros for that reason. I’ve lost 130 LB counting calories, but I’m definitely switching to macros now. I just can’t believe the almost 100 calorie error. Crazy! Thank you for your help!
-
Yes I am. They have it listed as 600 calories, 96P 32F
-
I always count calories, but it’s odd because the Ground Turkey I eat is listed as 600 calories, but when I add the macros it equals 672 calories.
-
Thank you all so much for the kind words, I'm truly blessed!!
-
Completely changed my lifestyle! My whole life all I did was eat horrible food (McDonald's, Dunkin donuts, any fried food you can name) and just stayed inside and played video games all day. I changed my life and now all I want to do is stay active and get to the gym and grind! I eat incredibly clean and honestly don't…

Thank you all for the support, it truly means a lot
-
Now when you say controller bulk, would you advise I go about 200 cals above TDEE?
-
What would be your best advice for someone looking to get to 9-10% body fat? Count calories?
-
Okay I get it!! My carbs come from wheat bread and are 100% complex. Only time I get simple carbs is post workout to help replenish glycogen.
-
Definitely going to do this. I used to go low carb and I always found myself binging. But when I go by calories, get enough protein in me and eat healthy, I get better results.
-
I have not! Thank you for sharing, I will check it out
-
Thank you all! It's just very tough. I'm 19 and have been obese my whole life. I've changed my life and my life long dream is just to get abs. I feel I'm close, and sometimes get hard on myself when I eat something high in carbs/sugar.
-
Okay thank you! I was just worried that MFP may be giving me too many calories burned on some exercises so I was worried that I could over eat.
-
But does it contain any chemicals that can cause cancer? Because my parents threw all my supplements out (over 160$) that had that label and they won't listen to me. So now I don't know which pre, post, and protein nutrition supplement to take that's approved.
-
I personally fee that if I continue my proper diet, that doing the shortcut to size will help. It seems to be a great strength builder, and with my nutrition, I should be able to lose fat haha. But his nutrition plans are bananas! The calories are insane!! Way too much haha. Hopefully by watching my calories and working…
-
My only concern is the cardio acceleration. It will feel awkward and uncomfortable doing it haha. I was hoping to follow shortcut to size, but adjust the diet to few calories to lose fat.
-
Yeah I understand that, it's just the name of the lifting program haha.
-
Thank you all for your help! I will definitely find a healthy source for whole wheat bread and continue my deficit. Thanks!
-
This is my own diet actually haha. I was 315 pounds my senior year in high school, and am down to 206 at the end of my freshman year at college. It's just been a very tough road! Thank you for the advice as well! I miss eating yogurt and feel that if I add it into my diet, the extra carbs and sugar may effect me.
-
Yeah I'm 6'3 and still have a large stomach. Not sure what I'm doing wrong haha. I eat so clean, might have to see a nutritionist and see what they say. My diet is very consistent and haven't had a cheat day in months. Did you happen to cut carbs or any other foods? Or did you focus on calorie intake?
-
Damn that's crazy man, congratulations! I started at 315 as well, and down to 206. When did you lose your stomach fat? I'm down 105 pounds almost and still have a large amount of stomach fat.
-
Fortunately my current diet is high protein/fiber, low carb, moderate fat haha.
-
The chicken I buy has the weight on it, and it said 1.10 pounds. So I just converted pounds to ounces and that's the outcome.
-
I'm fortunate enough to get them for free so price doesn't effect me haha. Thank you for the suggestion though! I definitely wouldn't pay $3 for them.
-
I use Iso-Dymatize for my post workout shake! It tastes really good and has 25G protein and 1G carb per serving.
-
My main goal is for fat loss, therefore I have cut my carbs to under 25. I do need some more data though I agree.
-
Body weight!
-
When a group of 3-4 guys are using an entire area, and talk more than lift. Or guys who don't put their weights away after.
