Waiting on the world to change-John Mayer

In the Air Tonight-Phil Collins

My plan is to have a lean protein as my main dish, either chicken pork beef fish, etc. so I'm hoping to find a side dish that isn't super carb rich. I already do veggies but I find myself still hungry. I'm not really trying to do veggies as the main dish. But I will check her out

I can and it does. and no, I rotate day by day, usually doing opposing muscle groups. Sorry, thought Id mentioned that.So some days Ill do machine squats and hamstring curls, for example, and another day I might do leg curls and deadlifts.

Like i said, I recently started doing dropsets. Prior to that I'd usually do 4-5 sets of like 8-10 reps of whatever exercise I was doing that day

So it depends on the day, but for legs I do squats with the smith machine, step ups, barbell one-legged squats, leg press, leg curls, hamstring curls, deadlift...really depends on the day. I do bicep curls, tricep extensions, tricep pushdowns, kickbacks for arms. Lat pull downs, dumbbell rows, underhand pull downs,…

I dont follow any type of pre determined program if thats what you are asking; I just do what I explained. I guess Im not sure what you are asking. Do you want me to get more specific as to the exercises I do and the length of my HIITs etc.?

I do strength training 3 days a week. Recently I have been doing dropsets on opposite muscle groups. Then I do some steady state cardio. 3 days a week i do HIIT on the treadmill, then some steady state as well. I rest one day a week. I still maintain a caloric deficit, but I have recently increased by calorie/protein…

So as it turns out, you may be losing fat and building more lean muscle, particularly if your clothes are fitting looser and your weight is being maintained. Do you lift weights at all? To answer your question, Im not sure theres any reason to be concerned about any of the info your presented us. I would start to monitor…

I eat a good amount of dairy, it is a good portion of my diet. I am focused on eating a lot of protein and dairy is a good source. I eat fat free greek yogurt for breakfast, fat free string cheese for snacks, and I drink whey shakes. What was your rationale for thinking you had to cut dairy out?

Is your goal weight/fat loss?

So I understand what they are saying, and I wouldnt count this as calories burned. I would use this as your baseline of calories burned throughout the day and to calculate your bmr. I would count extra things like going to the gym or playing a sport

Not all muscle, no. I didnt say that, nor did I mean to imply that. I just mean that if you eat an excess of carbs in general, youll be more likely to lose muscle mass than if you eat more protein alternatively.

I wasnt able to meet my protein goal until i started drinking whey powder, but my goals are major fat reduction and toning, so you may not need that much. I get my natural protein from fat free greek yogurt, premade shakes, salads with chicken, roasted turkey/roast beef deli meet, shrimp cocktail, lean meats (chicken,…

Because you can lose muscle mass in caloric deficit.

I also assume the scales are not particularly accurate, but i use mine more for its precision than its accuracy. So no matter what the numbers are, if they go down three they go down three. Mine has shown to be pretty precise so far, as there havent been any major fluctuations and the numbers have been consistent

I think a day or two wont hinder your progress. I think if its over a longer period of time, what doesnt get converted to glycogen for your muscles could be stored as fat, so you could potentially end up losing weight but gaining fat. But that would occur over the course of weeks, not days

String cheese is good, the weight watchers brand is 50 calories. Fat free greek yogurt, light and fit is about 80 calories. Nuts. Beef jerky. Those are all protein-rich options, which happens to be my focus right now, but fruit is another good option if youre not focused on protein. Hope that helps

I think its important to focus on body fat percentage, even more than weight. The reason being that often times when you lose a lot of weight, you end up losing lean mass instead of fat. Monitoring the body fat percentage will let you know more clearly what is changing in your body. So if you lose 4 pounds in a week but…

ooo...asparagus! but only if its roasted with garlic and parmesean Salmon or tuna?

I like the body analysis scale, but I am more concerned with its precision than its accuracy. Ive weighed myself on three different scales since I started a lifestyle change about 4 months ago, and all three report significantly different numbers, so who knows which one if any is accurate. Im more concerned with the…

For premade shakes, I like Atkins the best for taste. They only have 15g of protein where Premier shakes have 30g and Musclemilk has 32g. I dont really like the taste of the musclemilk ones but I love the Premier Vanilla shakes. For powder, Ive only tried Dymatize but I really like it. It has 25g per scoop

Thank you so much. And thank you for noticing the struggle, haha

To me, it looks like you have a pretty healthy diet, though I am not a nutritionist. How do you feel daily? Like are you particularly tired or feel nauseous or anything like that? Those are good indicators that your body may be asking for more calories

Definitely sugary drinks. Sodas, juices, lemonade, iced teas, etc., that's been the main thing that Ive totally sacrificed from my diet. has definitely helped. I drink a lot of flavored water and protein drinks now

Yes, this is why I posted this. I know ive been losing weight fast and i know i need to increase my calories, Ive reported all of this. Im just asking about which whey protein products people like
