I run with very, VERY inexpensive earbuds from SoundPeats. IPX67 so sweat and rain are a breeze. The connectition is stable and they last about 6 hours on the True Wireless and about 10 hours on the BT wired ones. The BT wired I really put it through the ringer. Walked into the shower with it several times and stepped on…

Don't buy it. If you can't control your self, don't have it around you. I had this problem with Coca-Cola in the past. If I had one can, by the weekend, i would have a 6 pack of 2Lt Bottles next to me on the couch. So i cut it off. Completely. Once the cycle was broken, I allowed myself to have a coke when eating out, but…

HAHAHAHAHAHA... That is the perfect analogy to this madness.

That depends on your age, height and weight. If your baseline to maintain weight is 1400 (One of my friends is 5.1 and that's her baseline), then 1000 to 1200 would be normal if she was trying to lose weight. The one thing you need to understand is sustainability. There's no point in losing weight and sacrificing your…

It really depends on one simple question: - Will you use it? The reason why i mentioned this is because my dad bough the Ninja Professional System, but all he uses it for is to blend seasoning, so it was 160 bucks thrown in the garbage when a small food chopper would have done the trick. I bought a $29 walmart food…

Yes. Martial Arts are fantastic. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is by far the toughest exercise. I wore a Heart Rate Monitor through a roll session and a 2h session showed a little over 1300 cals with avg heart rate at 152 and 1 crazy peak of 189 which made me nauseous. It is also extremely effective as a self defense tool,…

Use it for 1 week, associating approximate measurements. If you need 100g of rice, count how many spoons are needed to get to where you need. Same for the other food groups. After a week or so, you should be able to drop the scale. If you're eating meat, try to buy them in specific packaging. The supermarket I go to, sells…

I use whey protein from MuscleForm. Flavor Free is 94% and Chocolate is 90%. I only use it when I know i can't make my protein goal thou. This isn't really needed unless you can't meet your needs. 2kg (4.4LBs) costs $39 (35GBP).

Depends on your physical limitations and your goals, but, it's also going to depend on what you're doing. Outside of a ladder scale, i have never done more than 12 reps in a set because it doesn't suit my goals. Basically, if you're able to do 30 reps, you're lifting light, very light. Sets may vary, but I do 2-5 when…

Okay. So... Big restrictions, but we can get around it. You may need to do weekly or by-weekly shopping thou, given that you don't have fridge space. I know you didn't ask for workout tips, but... Since you want to gain muscle, I assume you know you need to be in a slight calorie surplus and you need intensive workouts.…

No kitchen... I know a lot about small studio living. Happy to help. Are you able to do any cooking at all? (Microwave, small oven, etc). Also, what is your weight and height? + Since you know you caloric needs, what's your goal. Do you have any allergies? Finally. DO you have a proper lifting schedule? Share your…

A balanced diet is easy. Usually 40/40/20 (Prot/Carb/Fat) split with 5-10% variation should do the trick, as long as you meet your minimum protein goals, it doesn't really matter. If you're not meeting your protein, it's not possible to maintain or gain lean mass. Should be simple to calculate, unfortunately, I have to ask…

Mass Gainer is just Protein powder with added vitamins, minerals, carbs and fat. It's a pile of calories, so it's great if you are currently in need of calories to meet your surplus goal, but it is no better than a plate of rice, beans, veggies and a chicken breast. I use Whey Isolate (Flavor Free) with 94% protein count…

I would estimate 85 to 95 grams by your weight and guestimating your height between 5'2 and 5'5. (Please, correct me if I am wrong) Meals... 4 a day. That would be a sweet spot. 4 meals split with breakfast, lunch and supper + a protein snack. 22g-24g of protein per meal is very easy to achieve. A high protein greek yogurt…

If all you need is options of protein, it's easy. Whey protein is by far the top dog on the protein world. A good whey isolate can easily give you between 90 and 95% protein content per 30-40 gram scoop. If you want plant based, pick a Tri-part protein source, like Spiru-tein or V-Gain. You'll get about 80-85% protein…

Beachbody Insanity is my go to workout. High Intensity Interval training at its best. Body weights only (No equipment to buy) and very effective at strengthening the whole body as well as getting you to break a sweat. I recommend it to anyone not suffering from injuries as it is high impact due to tuck jumps, suicides and…

No Polars here, but we all have Garmin. I have a Fenix 5x (Prohibitively expensive, but worth it to me because of what I do with it), My wife has a VivoActive 3 which is great (Paid 180) and my son has a VivoSport ($70) which is more than enough for 99% of the people who just needs fitness tracking. Now, if you really want…

Go to a day where you registered the meal. Right under the meal, Click on Quick tools. Click on Remember meals, Give it a name easy to remember and hit save. It will then appear on the Meals Tab. You can then "1 click add" to your diary.

Do you know a lot of people that drink straight HFCS? Even if you are comparing natural sugars to watermelon to consumption of ice cream that contains HFCS, the ice cream isn’t completely devoid of nutrition as you suggest. It offers dairy, fat, and in the OP’s example, protein. If a person is low on protein or fat for…

I know it's semantics since Ann has explained that "Carbs are Carbs", but the pop culture understanding of Good vs Bad carbs are related to processed vs unprocessed sugar. Meaning 100 calories from a watermelon (A little over 320 grams of the fruit, Contains about 20g of sugar. Now, that sugar is wrapped in natural fiber…

I used to go over in the beginning. I'm 37, M, 5'11, 180lbs. (I was much heavier when I started) Doing Insanity, i had my watch beeping all the time. As my resistance improved, so did the HR. I now blast through the workouts at a much higher pace and I struggle to go over 160bpm. My legs turn to mush before the heart rate…

I love Spiru-tein Chocolate. Other flavors are iffy, but the chocolate one is delicious. I also like Sci-MX Pro VEGAIN. (Not a typo :) - It's not as tasty, but is does the job and expands a lot. I like this one best when bulking. Both are Tri-Part with complete BCAAs in them.

I am never going to forget the name of this monster: "extensor hallucis longus" AKA that tendon on top of your big toe. I bought a new shoe and it bent in the wrong place, crushing the darn nerve with every step. 2 weeks of pain turned into a tendinitis diagnosis. It;s been a year now and I have to be careful with my…

I worked the graveyard shift for 6 months laying Fiber Optics. 9pm to 6am I slept through the day. My solution was to do 2 meals a day. My "Lunch" was mid work and a dinner around 8am. then a nice sleep 7 - 8 hours. Rinse and repeat.

Yes it is. Entree is the plate before the main course. On a 5 or 7 course meal, it is the appetizer. On a 3 course meal, it could be an appetizer or soup. Regardless, it is not the main course.

But this is not a long term case. We're talking 30 lbs. That's 15 weeks. Not enough time to lose muscle mass and especially not if the weight loss is supported by weight lifting. Also, Regaining the weight has nothing to do with how fast you lose it and everything to do with what you put in your mouth. We can argue and the…
-
Based on the answers here. There's nothing that stops her from aiming to lose 2 lbs per week, aside from the fact that some people can't stick to the diet/calorie caps. No physiological reasoning and 15 weeks of dieting is not long enough to cause any metabolic impact. So, if @hsamimis can stick to her diet and exercise…
-
I'm sorry to barge in, but I am curious. Why is it not ok to aim for 2lbs a week? And why is slow weight loss more sustainable than quick weight loss?
-
Creme of Mushroom Soup... Oh yeah... Not for anyone trying to lose weight, but... YEAH...

Beachbody Insanity - I needed to ramp up some full body work while cutting and this hit the spot. 40 minute workouts always hitting 600+ cals per session.
