I'm in Paris right now and having a hard time finding protein powder anywhere. If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.

So it gets even funnier (to me anyway). I was laughing about it being called the Bro diet with one of my friends at work and she commented, "well actually, you HAVE talked about doing squats before, so you're a bro." (She's doing the "almost bro diet"). Just had a bro lunch of Greek chicken salad with two bro's from work,…

"bro diet" HAHAHHAHAHHAHA I've never heard that. I think I'm about as far from a "bro" as one can get, but maybe not? So that's pretty funny. I'll be sharing that. I guess if the shoe fits, I'll have to go get some flat billed hats (or try and straighten mine out?) and put a bunch of light bars on my truck and quit…

The 1600 cal/day does not include exercise calories. Exercise consists of morning workouts 5-6 days/week 10min of cardio/warmup then 30-50 minutes of weight training. I'll add a 20-30 minute session on the treadmill or bike once or twice a week, plus outdoorsy stuff on the weekends. I'm a little curious as to what my…

Checking in. Hit my initial weight target last Saturday but had already adjusted it lower because fat removal goals not met. Doing 25/50/25 c/p/f since mid-December. 1g/lb protein. So far so good. The daily up and down makes me crazy, but I like the trans. Does anyone know why the weight goes up and down so much? My daily…

MPS?

I appreciate your input. 200 is 1g/lb, most days I get about 180ish, trying for more. Thank God for the Premier Protein shakes. Besides the trainer getting the macros right, all the credit for my success so far goes to those shakes and MFP.

That's a LOT of protein. I struggle to get 200g/day. I can't imagine 240, that's another protein shake or two. I'm about to take a diet break...back to back vacations, though they will be pretty active so it should be interesting.

Thanks! Great comments. Cool about the similar paths. I hit 205 on Saturday, which was my original target, based on an assumption that I was about 20% body fat and I wanted to get to 10%-ish to achieve my goal. (my original BF% estimate was low, I'm afraid) As I started getting closer to 210 I realized that 205 wasn't…

6'-0" I'm trying to get as lean as I can, while I'm doing the whole 25/50/25 thing, tracking every bite, and eating nothing but salad, chicken and protein shakes. 10lbs is fairly arbitrary...I may hit my composition goal at 200...or maybe not until 190? Plus I'm going on a trip to Paris for a couple weeks at the end of the…

Powerbuilding. I like that. That kind of describes my 35 years with iron. Never competed in either though, LOL.

5 lbs did it. I hit a weight 5lbs higher than previous high, which was 20 years ago and when I was much stronger. I'm a long time gym rat (4-5 days/wk) and usually just tweak my diet a little to stay in my 'norms' but with age I've lost muscle and gained fat and that little bit more was just not acceptable. So I got a plan…

Arms. After doing a weird sideways elliptical for 10 minutes.

Today was what I call my "goofy leg day". It's the second leg day of the week. Where the first day focuses on squats, this is about hitting other leg exercises, usually as heavy as I can. As usual I did 10min treadmill warmup, the gym sprints, standing squat machine (heavy) and straight leg deads (light), but today added…

My surgeon says as long as you can see your hands, it's ok. I have a left side SLAP tear (since '09), no more overhead squats for me. I didn't tear it lifting weights. (for the record, I did overhead presses and squats for 24 years with no injuries before I tore it in an unrelated activity...and actually, I believe the…
