Yep :)

But our body doesn’t need a spoonful of sodium straight up does it? Our bodies do need gallons of water however so it’s kind of an odd comparison to make. What is being reduced for a meal plan?i don’t understand.
-
Sounds nice but our stomachs are built to break things down into liquid so it would suck to be drinking just liquid all the time and take that function away from our body’s :( still a good idea though.
-
Bonus!
-
Nope I haven’t :( but I assume it’s bad. Which sucks.
-
Nope, just stating the cold hard truths :)
-
Nooo I don’t lol, I try and stick to a whole foods diet mainly. Is the Doyle t diet an actual thing lol?
-
As I said water is the liquid our body NEEDS, everything else is just preference :D
-
Yeah but water is 100% water.. in most cases. So that sounds better to me
-
Water is the only drink our body NEEDS, everything else is just preference the sooner you tune into that the better. Sweeteners.. sugars.. it’s all refined rubbish in my opinion.. water FTW!

I’m a daily oatmeal eater too,it’s too good and has so many variations you can have with it that it makes it hard to go a day with out it haha!
-
Yeah I have been doing quite close stances ones I’ll try wide stance ones and one legged ones and see how that goes, thanks.
-
Thanks all!
-
Thanks for this!
-
So a recomp is where you just eat at your daily maintenance calories and stick to that and just that never eating more never eating less just sticking to the maintenance no matter how much cardio you do or weight training you do you just allways eat the same amount of calories ?
-
Yeah thank you that’s what I’m doing from now on I’m going to bulk for 4months then cut for 3-4 months :) Btw what’s a recomp?
-
Ahh great thank you for answering this, I did think this to be the case but I was unsure as I am still learning about a lot of body building ways. Thanks for the advice.
-
If my maintenance was 2,800 and I was eating at a 3,300 surplus for a long time and gained weight And put on muscle could I then eat at a 3,050 deficit and still reveal a six pack even though technically I’m still eating in a surplus compared to my original maintenance level?
-
I agree lol
-
Haha okay thanks for the advice!
-
@RoxieDawn This is really insightful and helpful thank you!
-
So is the general rule of thumb that you bulk until you get to your desired weight and then you cut for two months and then repeat the cycle then? Would this work?
-
Okay Hank you for the example but I think by memory I will know if I am putting on weight and maintaining it so I dont think I will get much use out of using charts for weight gain and I do allready log my weight weekly on mfp as a backup too so that helps as a reference for me too
-
Okay this is great thank you for the reassurance and helpful advice :)
-
@RoxieDawn Yeahh I like to get pretty much the exact same calories every day and I have been eating 140g of protein for about 2 months or so now and I think that this is working well for me, I will keep my protein intake at 140g then as I am aiming to get to 140lb in weight and I will workout my fat intake at a later time…
-
@PAV8888 Okay thanks for the tips and yeah I live in England but I have my own home scales I weigh myself on and I keep my weight tracked using this app. And yeahh I want to avoid getting “fat” so I am looking at gaining weight initially and gaining muscle and then cutting to reveal the muscle that I would of gained and…
-
@RoxieDawn Okay then this is really insightful thank you for helping me with this. So if I am going by my Desiree’s weight would I do 1g of protein per lb for my desired 140lb target totalling at 140g of protein? Thanks a bunch!
-
@TavistockToad Yeahh I’m going too add on 250 calories and start eating at 3,339 calories now and see how that goes. Thanks for the help!
-
@RoxieDawn I’m 130, 140 is my current goal to get too and yeah I am quite lean allready and I want to clean bulk in order to minimise fat gains. I’m currently eating 140g of protein would you that is and okay to amount to be eating at my weight and height?And thanks for the advice it really helps.
-
@sardelsa Okay this is good to know thank you so from now on I will bulk for a minimum of 4months a time I can see now how this makes a lot of sense how long would you then recommended cutting for before then entering a bulk phase again?
