I recently started using creatine, and I’ve heard mixed opinions and studies or how that affects weight loss/water retention. What’s your take on that?
-
I’ve added VT to my leg days and I’ve increased my maxes in all lifts. I’ve been feeling no difference in stamina or endurance, besides cardio still sucks lol.

It’s totally understandable that a lot of people use this app for purely calorie counting. But i do weightlifting and all of my fellow weightlifting friends use MFP for macro help...which is why i mentioned macro related stuff in my original post, hoping that only people with similar interests and understandings would…

I am my own treatment team. I wasn’t using MFP for anything but to make sure i was hitting my macros correctly, not exactly calorie counting

Everyone has their own back story. I used to eat less than 800-900 calories a day from an eating disorder. I used to hard core weigh every single thing i used in cooking and eating, but i noticed my eating disorder symptoms resurfacing. Like i said before, i weighed my foods for so long that i know correct estimations, and…

Honestly, the tone of your post is extremely uncalled for. This is a community chat board for people seeking helpful advice. Not belittlement or ridicule. So....in words on your level of respect, be polite or get off my thread.

I weigh certain foods, like my dairy products, avocados, and meats. I don’t weigh my vegetables or rice (for rice, i use a measuring cup), or the teaspoon of jelly i eat in the morning.
-
But by under eating, you can starve your muscle, which in turn will lower the amount of calories your body naturally burns. I’m eating at an extreme deficit and lifting heavier weights each week. There’s a thin line with cutting/starving the body and i think i might be teetering
-
I’m definitelyyyy in a caloric deficit. I’m supposed to be eating over 2000cals for maintenance, and I’m eating 1650. So another concern is maybe I’m not eating enough which can also cause weight gain

It’s been about 3 weeks of stalling. I’m 22, female, 5’4, and 141lbs with a GW of 127-130. I’m athletic/petite build. Definitely bottom heavy lol
-
I have been tracking so long that i don’t have to weigh everything out like i did at the beginning. I’m like a encyclopedia on calories and macros of the foods i eat constantly so i keep myself in check. And eating clean means i eat lean protein, i get my fats from natural/healthy sources (nuts, avocados, salmon, etc). And…

You’re so sweet!! Thank you for the encouragement!!!

I was seeing a lot of fat loss and increase in definition for the first 3 months but then it’s like i hit a plateau. I currently weigh 138 and would like to cut down to 128-130. I am 22y/o and 5’4. I lift heavy 4 days a week, with a lot of supersets, drop sets, and pushing to my limits on weight. I do cardio/abs 2 times a…

There’s macro calculators online (IIFYM, scoobys, etc) to take your current stats and desired stats into account and tell you how many calories you should eat daily in order to lose, maintain, or gain after taking TDEE into account
-
No more than 150
-
High carb day...carb loading..etc. I do mine on heavy leg days
-
I still have a firm v line still, just a lot of bloating and extra fluff than normal. I eat 75/80% clean, limited processed sugars and a lot of raw vegetables. I refuse to give up my carbs. Carbs are my best friend and are completely needed to build.
-
The 10lbs has been since the beginning of July til now. I've been measuring my hip/waist ratio for a while just to keep myself in check. I did weigh myself at a bad time...(10pm, after a workout and lots of water, and during my period week) so I'm doubting the accuracy of the numbers at this point lol.
-
Well obviously...if I'm losing definition I know that would equal fat gain...hence my topic title. Just because you gain fat in one area, that doesn't mean you're not gaining muscle in another area. I always gain fat in my abdomen and hips first. Some people notice fat increase in their legs first, etc. I never had the…
-
I'm just about 5"4'. I'm almost a CPT so the programming most likely isn't the issue. My macros I believe are good, probably just need to be tweaked a bit on levels like DocRootCanal suggested. I know that with any muscle gain, you'll gain fat as well. I just wasn't expecting such a dramatic (about 10lbs) increase. As a…
-
I haven't been measuring just pure muscle gain, but it's obvious appearance wise to me and others. I've been measuring myself though. I've been lifting for about 2 years with some brief set backs occasionally. I track macros..so yes I also count cals. I eat in a very slight surplus, 1650 cals a day. 143p, 186 c, 37 f.
