  • Eeeh let's say your TDEE is 2,400 calories given your age and weight. You want to be in surplus, let's say 500 Calories daily (without exercise) On days you exercise, always make those calories lost in surplus calorie intake. You want to gain? Do a 55% Complex Carb | 25% Healthy Fat | 20% Protein Macro plan... Go to the…

  • I'm clean bulking right now, but I'm not deprived of food I like by all means... I just don't eat everything in site :) Hit your macros, eat healthy and treat yourself here and there.

  • Even if you don't have a medical issue against carbs... those carbs aren't healthy ones, they are SUGAR. Are you trying to lose weight? Forget it! You'd do yourself a real service if you just packed a few sandwiches and healthy munchies. :) You might still lose weight, but you'd be losing out on health properties you only…

  • No. It's about balance of nutrition, not just hitting calorie numbers. For weight loss you should try a 40% Protein 40% HEALTHY Fat and 20% COMPLEX Carb diet. That in joint with a calorie deficiency.

  • Hey girl, okay... do you track Macros? You should try a 40-40-20 split for losing weight (which is what I will be using to cut soon) Which means 40% Protein 40% Fat 20% Carbs (complex, whole and fibrous) Since you eat 1,300-1,600 calories a day I'll use 1,450 for example. 1,450 Calories = (40%) = 580 Calories of Protein =…

  • Macros.are more of a general percentage, hit them and if you go over it will take away calories from another macro. Eat too much protein? Eat less Fat... You got this

    in How do you eat your cottage cheese? Comment by ellevs April 2016
  • Eating 5-6 meals a day will help keep you energized throughout the day, you won't feel hungry or like you NEED to eat anything, and less tempted to eat something junky from a gas station on last min. It helps keep you on track as well, the more you focus your time on your diet, the more you will see changes. For me, I am…
