I would simply follow the MFP guided setup. You can check this site too. It heavily depends on your daily activity level, and workouts, along with your current stats.

The caloric value heavily depends on your daily activities and your daily job. So hard to really say anything regarding that number. However I would shoot for a 1 lb/week kind of gain. Check with your scale, and adjust calories depending on what you see at the end of the week. You don't wanna bulk too fast, and gain too…

It's so marbled and nice is because they don't let the cows move at all. The more movement = less marbling. I am not sure who exactly makes these claims but what they mean is probably gaining smallest possible fat possible while gaining muscle. Depending on your genetics and sex, you will gain a lot of fat while gaining…

11 lb gain in 12 weeks would actually be considered decent, I wouldn't call it "hardly any gain", although from the sound of it more than 6 lb's of it was simply water retention, that kinda jump happens when you decrease the carb amounts. So seems you were on a smaller caloric surplus than you originally thought. I would…

That sounds like a very, very unhealthy relationship advice. I doubt anyone likes being manipulated regardless of their sexual organs. Either case, I don't think its really healthy to see genders or couples as limbs, they're rather a complete set. I would hope my significant other and I can simply walk hand in hand turning…

This depends on the the said discomfort. Only thing that comes to mind is that you simply sleep side ways on your left side. Most people with acid reflux etc tend to do that while asleep habitually as it helps avoid acid escaping stomach. The pressure from sleeping only on one side could be hurting you on your left side if…

I agree with @StealthHealth , thats like 3.86 lb/week, nearly 4 pounds a week, which is very very high. My weight fluctuates up to 8 lb's depending on the day, so I would assume most of the "loss" is water weight, once you reduced your carb intake. There are no fat specific shred diets, only hard work, weight-lifting…

If there is no specific reason, then I would say don't consider such a thing. Unless the meal replacement you are talking about is a full on one, such as Soylent, most of them do not have all the nutrients you need for your hormonal balances and other bodily activities. Another aspect is that such unreasonable diet goals…

I mean I know brain uses a lot of calories but I wouldn't really shoot high as that. 3000 maintain sounds insanely high. Either she is an outlier in the metabolism speed, which is, congrats, you can have an extra PB&J sandwich compared to other individuals, or it could be thyroid related, which I would check just in case.

Is there a specific reason you want to follow such a path?

haha profile picture goals.

Actually your time in the gym, especially lifting is great to retain the muscles. The graph you have shared seems to be way too low in calorie intake to be honest. Especially as someone that lifts 5-6 days a week. I would follow MFP guided setup, and just pick 0.5 lb/week as your goal, and stay on that deficit. I am 6'3…

You simply need to go into a deficit. That's it. Your blood type should not matter. I am not sure about the hormonal implications of childbirth, and how it effects your metabolism in a year to be honest but I think weekly scale check is good enough test of that. Find your TDEE, and go slightly lower than that in terms of…

I don't have a boat nor FLEX TAPE but I have a strong urge to order both, cut my boat into two, and flex tape it now.

Honestly, your social circle should not dictate your diet, nutrition or health is general. It is your body and you have the control over it. My friends and family knows I can take care of my own nutrition and health, so our conversation topics are rarely about how much I eat. So in general, your friends numbers on scale…

the girl that our math teacher Mr. Anderson was hitting on constantly.

I second this.

Hang on I gotta ask her if its okay to talk about it here.

I would be all like: What kind of pizza? M & L & XL? What topping? I don't like it when things are not precise :disappointed:

Getting slapped when I took him to a regular beach telling him its a nude one.

Only two things come to mind: Arm bikes, not sure if you have any around you? Shadow boxing. You can sit and try to beat your reflection in the mirror. Bonus points for hooks and upper cuts :smile: Just try to get your HR going.

His whole workout consists of this: In his defense, he has very nimble ankles.

Are we still talking about what women should or should not do at this day and age?

Did someone say Coconut Oil? There is always going to be a diet fad. The ideas like balanced meals, calorie counting doesn't really sell well to the general public. You gotta come with claims like "Eat all you can, and lose weight doing that!". Or some miracle elixir that does absolutely nothing lol. They then write a book…

Well first off, do not rush into weight-loss journey. If you aim too low of a deficit, well, lets say, aim something you can not sustain, you will quit it. Set up a realistic goal you can handle. Another thing is, simply finding food that fills you up. If you eat a PB&J Sandwich you can hit 1000 cals easily but might feel…

On Browser: Go Home->Goals->View Guided Setup. You can select your data there. Don't rush into the weight-loss. If you want it to be a realistic journey, keep it at a pace you can handle. 1 lb/week is respectable, see how you feel at the end of each week and adjust accordingly.
