I am 5’4, 147 pounds. I have tried losing weight with 1300 net calories, however, seem to just maintain at that amount. I suppose my question is what the minimum number of calories someone can eat per day is, although I do not intend to eat that few at all. Mostly intellectual curiosity

You should eat after cardio! To use your body's fat as fuel, you need to have a low enough circulating blood glucose to activate that energy pathway. If you eat prior to a workout, it could take up to thirty or so minutes of exercising to activate that pathway. Therefore, your entire workout is spent burning what you just…

I want a perfect score on the MCAT!

I typically spend 55 minutes strength training and 25 minutes running afterward. In general, I estimate that I burn approximately 550 calories doing so, given that I tend to lose weight if I don't consistently eat 2000 (or so) calories

I agree! Thank you everyone who contributed. You all are the real MVPs

I agree wholeheartedly -- which is why I do not take preworkouts with stims anymore and just opt for non-stim pre and 10 minutes of cardio prior to my lifting to get all the right chemicals going :wink: though I haven't researched as much as I should on the effects of chronic vasodilator use on the circulatory system,…

Ahh, keto. So popular, yet so difficult to maintain and certainly not a long term solution. I'm not too concerned about losing body fat at my size. I eat a low carb diet as to set an example for my dad and keep him motivated to restricting his carbohydrates to fewer than what a traditional American diet allows, given our…

Mesomorph is a preworkout I really like containing DMAA. Gives me tunnel vision, ahhaha. But thank you! And yes, I can proudly say I could do consistently, each chest day, a set of 3 with good form. Nothing like DMAA + pump up music! Sadly that all feels like a distant memory

Haha well thank you! I attribute it to easy access to Mesomorph and L-Arginine. Thank you very much for your advice in this thread! I appreciate it.

To ease some confusion, I was NOT benching 3x5 at 185. I would only do one set of 3-5 (depending on the amount of 1,3 in my system, hahahaha.) I would bow down to pretty much any female that could do 3x5 of 185. But I am increasingly more frustrated every chest day that I pretty much can't accomplish a full rep of 185…

I almost always get around 1300 calories per day, if not more (I try to get at least 1600 on leg day) as I'm only 128 pounds, ~17% body fat, and have maintained this weight for about 1 year (while dropping ~2% body fat). I wasn't sure if maybe I wasn't providing enough carbs in my pre/postworkout at ~65 total grams per…
