Not construction I am the man you go to when you crash your car or when you buy an old rusted vintage car and want it restored

I actually do that some times aswell if I can't find something accurate I over add it instead of picking the smaller number the same goes for exercise I put in the lower number

Thanks for all the help everyone I really do appreciate it Fresh start in the morning

I do not work as a chef anymore yes I am a qualified chef but I done a major career change 10 years ago I now work self employed as a panel beater and spray painter

I thought I was measuring every thing right but looking at what people are saying I must be doing things wrong cups instead of grams etc

I agree I must definetly be logging wrong as others have posted my grams and cups are all over the place Fresh start in the morning and start weighing out properly with the scales and increase my calories

Thanks for your input I appreciate it

Thank you for your help

Thank you for taking the time to type out all of that excellent advise that i will be definetly taking thank you again

Not mis measuring I use a food scales for everything I eat

Totally agree nothing wrong with some chocolate etc in moderation What I wanted to ask people is should I be eating more I just don't eat fried food etc very rare occasion my diet is mostly eggs meat and dairy can someone give me an idea of there typical day ehat they eat Its help I'm after if people want to give it Yes I…

Good article that I must give a proper read later thanks for that

Man that's crazy I just don't know how to get in those calories bud

Well done on the marathon training You must eat these in high amounts to build up those calories I eat breakfast a snack few hours later dinner and a snack again at night I can't see how I can factor in more food I eat healthy no chocolate fried food or takeaway I'm at a bit of a loss with it all at this point

But what do you eat to make up that amount of calories

I can not physically eat over 2000 calories a day I don't even understand how someone can eat that much without living on pizza and icecream This has worked for me losing weight but has come to a standstill I weigh everything I eat and log everything as accurate as possible look at my diary if anyone has suggestions of…

I will look into it and adjust my only thing is I am not abit sedentary unfortunately I don't get time to sit around so if I lower my daily calorie intake like you are suggesting I would be in the same situation considering I only consume between 1200 and 1600 a day anyway Thank you for your input I do appreciate it

I have not lost nor gained any weight in the past 3 months while strength training plus cardio on a restricted diet

I'm going to try it thank you for your help

I am fairly meticulous with my logging I know what I am logging and I am a chef by trade but now I am thinking am I putting myself into starvation mode by not actually eating enough

Anything I have as homemade is because I have made myself and added the details Regarding potato it's not often enough I eat them to worry really but if I make fries they are oven baked no oil and 1 average potato giving 10 fries I know the scale myself regarding weight etc I just don't put it down Same goes for nuts when…

I have it set to lose 2lbs a week so of mfp is already factoring in a deficit (I never knew that) am I sabotaging myself by eating at even more of a deficit I find it hard to get in the calories to be honest

No I am 5.11 mfp gives me 2100 to work with so I eat at a deficit to that to lose weight I still have about 30 lbs to lose to be at a healthy weight for my height

Yes I use a scales all the time and I thought my diary was open already I will open it now

Jerome im calorie budget is 2100 I eat at 1200 to 1600 30c40f40p Workout I log is in my first post

Yes I ate at maintenance for 2 weeks and lowered the workout amount to see would it give me a kick start but made no difference I know I'm not gaining 10lbs of muscle in 3 months so that can't be the case

Yes I have been lifting for about 6 months but the scales has not changed in about 2 months I have dropped two sizes in my cloths tho so atleast I know I am lowering fat

I'm kind of stuck in the middle really I have lost 55lbs in the past 12 months still have another 20lbs to lose but I am unsure now should I focus on losing that 20lbs and then start building or start building now and cut later

How about diet how many calories does everyone get in I find it hard to get in over 1600 most days which probably isn't the best thing for building size I just can't eat anymore in the day Ya I can go down the road of protein shakes but that adds alot of expense

Lol I know the feeling my spotter is only 3 years old but does like trying to stack the plates for me 😂😂 train them young
