Thanks. Re Mercola hate: Sources are not what need vetting. Facts are. Couldn't care less who the guy is.

Thanks all. Appreciate the input. It's a 90 minute workout i'm doing - 60 min weights, 30 min cardio. I put an estimate for weights at about 260 cals burn for the 60 minutes, and I generally burn 300 doing cardio for 30 minutes. I put them into MFP and it adjusts my target, basically eating the burned cals back. Should I…

I wish I could eat peanut butter. Allergic :( I am a poor man - I have been using the chocolate milk method! :) (low fat of course) However one serving has 23g sugars - leading me again to: I'm pretty sure it's solid science that HIIT increases HGH secretion, and rising blood-glucose suppresses HGH secretion. So my…

That sounds good to me!

Well I'm on day 2 pretty much the same plan I was on when I posted the above, and feeling great. It's midnight and I'm only on 1700 cals and not feeling any fog or hungry really. I had my limit set to 1900 cals, but since mfp had suggested 1700 and I wasn't really feeling the need to eat more for dinner, I didn't! :) The…

Yeah I do but I made a mistake at lunch! Still feeling good. I reckon it was the pumpkin seeds making me feel bad. I often have issues with types of nut. Peanuts give me issues too

No pumpkin seeds today and so far so good, feeling good - other than the effects of a good workout. I've already maxxed out my carbs and protein for the day and behind on fat, so I had 3 crackers with a load of oliviani butter on them for fat D: Obviously something with some other nutrition in it would be good - but its…

Hi PowerliftingMom Yeah that's basically where I am. I paid for a trainer to make me a workout plan - but that didn't cover anything about nutrition. Trying to find info online is a minefield - makes the whole experience more stressful and time consuming. I wonder where I can find a trainer like yours. I was even wondering…

Yeah on exercise days i'm logging my cals burned so that mfp ups my daily cal intake. Thanks for all the input everyone, by the way.

Macros: Yeah I am trying to go 40/30/30 As I mentioned, yep I was specifically trying to do that with fat. That's why I got the pumpkin seeds to snack on - a 15g serving has 1g carbs, 6.5g fat, 4g protein, and minimal sodium

Also, in mfp my goal is to drop 0.5kg / week, going from 83kg to 80kg If I re-enter my goals into mfp so it recalculates my daily kcals, it tells me 1670 now. That seems low. The main reason I want to gain muscle is to aid in ongoing fat burn. Having a more muscular body is a nice side effect! I'm not terribly overweight;…

Hi thanks for the info Katiebear. I'm in New Zealand; I'm guessing that's a US company? Deputy_randolf, yeah having brain fog. I'm 35, 179cm (5' 10"), and 83kg (183lb), and mfp set me at 1750 cals on a rest day. Yep I'm being super accurate with my caloric intake. Been weighing all sorts of things. I even weighed a pickle!…
