  • You'll get a feel for how many calories you're consuming. Different recipes or things from different restaurants. It all becomes routine. Track for a couple months and you probably won't need to after that if you actually pay attention to what you're eating

  • I eat whatever I want Friday and Saturday nights. 2 cheat meals per week and alcohol on Saturday. Don't care what I eat for those 2 meals. I am extremely strict during the week tho. 86 pounds down

  • Also should've been more specific about "going to failure". Sets are progressively heavier with failure happening at the last few reps of the last set

  • Can someone shed some light on body recomp for me? I didn't know this was possible. Not completely new to weight lifting, played high school football and powerlifted but didn't retain much knowledge about lifting (college partying really hit me hard lol). Going to be changing up my routine to hit muscle groups 2x per week,…

  • X2 on making it not an option. 6am before work 5 days a week, whether I'm half asleep on the way there or not I go every day!

  • I eat very light Saturday and Sunday cus I know I'm going to drink a 6 pack of Budweiser watching supercross Saturday night and get the drunk chicken nugget and large french fry craving lol. I don't think I could lose weight drinking more than once a week tho, those drunk munchies put me in damn near binge mode every time!

  • Mental exercise! It's hard to fight cravings and resist temptations, mental health will help with that. I only exercise to gain more functional strength (I'm a mechanic. Lifting heavy parts/tires/etc). HIIT cardio or weight lifting would probably be the best as far as burning calories

  • Michigan native as well working on my last 20 of 100! Weight lifting has really helped me out, cardio never seemed to get the results I wanted. Good luck!

  • Macros is the main reason I'm here too! Heard about mfp on enough fitness YouTube channels and figured I'd give it a shot. Community section was something I did not know about but am definitely enjoying! Thanks for the encouragement! :)

  • Best of luck to you! New here as well, really enjoying the community section. Makes it easier when friends/family aren't supportive knowing there's plenty of people that are!

  • Changed it from 3 days a week push/pull/legs to now 5 days to really try and build muscle. Definitely wasn't getting enough protein and way too many carbs before. Been researching A LOT since I hit this plateau, hopefully rearranging my diet and bumping up exercise will get me over the hump! B)

  • 280 was my starting weight! Eat right and move more, you'll get there. When you have a cheat meal don't over indulge and get right back on it the next meal. Good luck!
