Calories rarely factor into my decision to eat protein shakes. I depend on them to help me hit my daily protein targets. Whey powder is a convenient and cost-effective way to add 60 grams on top of my regular meals. If I had extra time, money and room in my stomach for more steak I'd love to go that route. Protein shakes…

It becomes awkward having the regularly-recurring weightloss and exercise conversations with family, friends or work collegues. I have my health-related stories and opinions. They have their health-related stories and opinons. Over the last two years, I have noticably lost a lot of weight and put on a lot of muscle. I am…

Look up The Massonomics podcast, they did an episode on the Vertical Diet at the end of September.

Bring your headphones and your everyday workout music. I was very nervous as well, but once I started warming up with the music I listen to day in and day out it might as well have been another day at the gym. Don't expect to have a perfect warm-up. You will probably have to work-in with others, start earlier or later than…

I am mirroring your experience! 300 lbs --> 263 lbs, strength training and running a food deficit. I am dropping about 1.5 lbs per week at 2775 kcal per day. Also at about 27% bf (estimated based on Navy Method and my body impedence scale). Everything sounds great. It is cool to hear that you are doing the same thing I am…

Hi @durakoafuego ! Welcome to MFP. Lots of material to cover regarding your question, but I'll break it down into three points to get you started. Note: I didn't intend for this response to be so long. It just turned into a relaxing Sunday morning sit down with tea. :) I hope it helps. If you have any question let me know.…

A regular work schedule is a HUGE advantage. Building consistent meal routines is much easier than if you were juggling shift work or bouncing around on an irregular schedule. Develp a breakfast routine, start a 'make lunch for work' routine, begin collecting and trying out simple after work dinner meal ideas. Simple to…

Well it is the end of August! It was a systematic cut complete with a systematic one month overseas vacation. :smile: I am good with it. Both my squat and bench press are up 5 kg each, so that is a plus. I will continue through to the end of October. Goal is to comfortably make the 120 kg weight class on competition day,…

Honeycrisp Apples. They are my candy.

Just started a cut at the beginning of May. Using powerliftingtowin.com cutting/bulking procedure and it is going well. Short summary; 1. Start at (12x bodyweight in lbs) daily kcal intake. 2. Weigh in daily and keep a running 5-day average (I use a spreadsheet, @jdog022 uses an app) 3. Aim for around 0.6 - 0.8 % drop in…

From your photos I would estimate that you are closer to 25% body fat. Impressive work! And if you’ve come this far, maybe you’re willing to come a little further. Can I interest you in strength training? Learning how to properly barbell squat, deadlift, benchpress, overhead press and Pendlay row. Then gradually adding a…

Starting my first official cut after about 7 months of messy bulking. Yes, I know better now and will do better next time. Already two weeks in now and it will be a very orderly, systematic cut through to the end of August.

Weightloss is a means to an end, not an end in itself. What is your purpose to being at your 'goal weight'? If you lack purpose that requires daily / weekly attention, the need and waning dedication to maintain that weight gets drowned by competing priorities. After my first six months of weightloss, I experienced dieting…

Hating cardio is a great place to start. You're a natural-born powerlifter! Adding in some more votes for Starting Strength and Stronglifts 5x5. They will do, while you build some initial gains and catch up on your powerlifting-related reading. :smile: If you prefer videos, powerliftingtowin.com has some good stuff.

Not too familiar with various bodybuilding federations' doping regulations, but I was required to do a short online course on clean sports prior to receiving my International Powerlifting Federation membership. While most of the list is a no-brainer, it does go a bit broad with things like ephedrine. Ephedrine is only…

Cut start, May 6 - 300 lbs. @ approx. 32% body fat. * Started at (15xbodyweight) kcal daily intake, and I'll be adjusting each week +/- kcal to keep my weight loss to 0.8%-1.0% per week. * Keeping protein intake at about (0.9 grams x lean body mass), currently around 185 g per day. * Gym 4 days per week, ~100 min per…

I am two weeks into my first cut that is not simply 'going on a diet'. It consists of daily morning weigh-ins to track my running 5-day average, semi-regular US Navy method body fat measurements, calorie counting (the reason I just started MFP) and keeping protein intake high. I am using the procedure on…
