The feeling crap is more to do with the results the machine gave me, so up and down!

2895

Would 1900kvsl be a suitable deficit? I train 4 times a week and am 27, 6 foot 1, 84kg

The gym I use, use the machine ( that I’m Really embarrassed I can’t remember the name of now) where you hold the rods and it’s measures various things. I’d never ever lifted weights or done any strength training whatsoever so I think the gains are just from that, I was literally skin, bones and a bit of fat before!

The protein is so high just based on some advice I read. I’m 13 stone 7lbs, and aimed for 1g or Protein per lb of body weight, but just decided to uo it a bit more because I eat more protein generally

Thanks for the advice! I’m not a fan of avocados or nuts, I have skimmed milk but should maybe move to fill fat and eat more spread/oilive oil?

I saw broadly in-line, more like about 10g over Carbs and Protein

I'm not sure which is best for me? Any tips?

Thanks! I'm goinf to eat a lot more then (:D) does it all have to be super-healthy? I'm also going to look into shakes

If I change it it goes to 2500kcal per day. I think it just shocks me because previously I;ve had to drop calories to prepare for running events, so it seems a lot, even though its not!

So I'm now looking at 2300kcal (that's losing 1.5lbs per week) and macros : 231g carbs/64g fat/200g protein)

Thank you for the warning! I was worried it was too low. I'll change MFP to 'Active' and lose 1.5lb per week and it gives me a target of 2300, is that more like it? It i set it to 1LB per day it gives me 2550 per day. Any ideas on what more I can eat? I'm struggling to find much else!

So here's my breakdown for tomorrow and Tuesday, any feedback is appreciated! MFP suggests I need 1700kcal per day that includes a 500kcal deficit lose 2lbs per week, which after a few weeks I'll change to 1lbs per week. My macros are: Protein - 192g Carbs - 122g Fat - 46g Monday Breakfast - Oats & Skimmed Milk…

Also, what should I do in terms of eating back exercise calories?

Thanks! I’m meeting the trainer on Weds to design a program. Anything specific I should be asking/telling him? I think I’ll go for 1lb per week initially and see if I need to decrease it

Or should I go for 2lbs?

Would setting MFP to losing 1lb per week be too much?

What is a good way to lose fat without losing muscle?

Thanks for the advice. I was planning to go fully clean, and eating/having a shake every 3 hours or so but then from what people have said I thought it was a bad idea. What do you mean by keep my body in an anabolic State?

What’s the best way to cut body fat?

So would you recommend going into a deficit for a while and then aiming to build muscle?

And recomp? Sorry for all the questions!

What’s cutting?

I had been thinking this! Thanks!

Thanks. What should I be eating in terms of carbs? As in with every meal or just post workout?

If I aim for 250kcal extra per day, should I eat back exercise calories?

I should also say - due to my job I get time to sit down and eat for maybe 20 mins once a day, so really struggle to take in enough calories/protein!

Thank you the the response! I know this is a long term thing, and Jory to expect much in the short term. Much of the reading I did on carbs was from Need Fitness, I think it was referencing a good carb as something like quinoa or wholewheat opposed to white pasta/bread etc. I have a training plan in development from my gym…

I've lost about 46lbs since March. I wasn't massively overweight but was unhappy with how clothes fit etc, and the idea that if I go up I'll stop fitting into 32 inch trousers freaks me about because of all the hard work to get there. It's the summer break for 6 weeks now so I'm aiming to run 6 days a week, at least 7KM a…

So if it's above one day it doesn't necessarily mean you've put weight on?
