Not a book but I'm reading the Federalist Papers and the book 'The Screwtape Letters'; just finished 'Debt, the First 5,000 Years' and 'The Disuniting of America'; I don't have time for non-fiction - I get that from TV.

Great results and thanks for sharing. I am was in better shape 5 years ago when I was lifting heavy (heavy for me) but I tweaked my right elbow on the last DB bench press. I took roughly 9 months to fully recover. That cost me a lot so I have been trying a different approach. No matter what I am pushing/pulling, I do a…

I am a new member (July 25) and I continue to look for members who can help with muscle gain. I am sneaking up on 65 and that bothers/cancels some members who might otherwise comment - but don't let it! My selfie pics are me on my Yamaha R6 and one I took on arm day. I am happy to consider the expertise of others. I use…

For me, this is the end of the day, end of the week, end of the month, end of the quarter and the market was down 1.5% today. Headed to the gym for single-arm and Pendlay rows followed by chin ups - all of which are my weakest. Fitting selections for today. With luck, I'll materialize on my driveway around 5:30 and then…

Week one of college football is behind us and it was an up-down Saturday for me. Tech scored 9 touchdowns so I had to complete 315 pushups over the course of the 3 1/2 hour game. Here was my experience from a pushup perspective: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42 - my son stopped by right before this set and while I was going to break…

I’ve been a member for roughly four weeks. My membership was 100% provoked by the upside I felt the food tracker offered me. My opinion is the exercise tracker is in need of upgrade. My activity is rules-based, and now I have a rules-based nutrition plan. My nutrition intake was front of my mind, but I was not tracking it.…

Here is my breakfast mealplan for each day this week. Bowl of fat free granola (with 1-2% milk, cashews, figs and fresh berries), bottle of water, high grade omega-3’s Omelet (2:1 egg white to whole egg ratio), (with spinach, tomatoes, and onions), paprika hashbrowns, glass of 1-2% milk, Coco choco oatmeal blended with…

Ketosis is a condition you can put your body in through low carb, higher fat nutritional consumption that causes weight loss.

Thank you. I stumbled upon it about twenty minutes ago and it does offer a time-based, fixed weight training counter at 263 calories per hour. It is not perfect but it is directional and sometimes that is OK. Again, thank you for your help,

R194 SW 199 I am newbie. I started MFP on the 25th - simultaneously starting a 3 month weight training/cardio training program. On the 25th I weighed 200, down from 204 roughly 10 days prior. I think the easy weight has been lost. We'll see. 07/26 - 199 07/27 - 197.6 07/28 - 196.4 07/29 - 194.6 07/30 - 193.8 07/31 - 194.6…

I am new as well. On the home page, there are two links that allow you to track food and exercise. Both require a little patience in the beginning but after learning how their ';search engine' replies, it gets easier. The food link allows you to repeat favorite foods easily. The exercise link does not capture calories…

Everyone is an equal in the gym - we all desire to be different, physically and mentally. The one place you can go and find 'no judgment'. I suggest a few things to do and to know: (1) get your core muscles up to speed first, this may take six weeks; (2) understand that working the larger muscle groups will burn the most…

Training and nutrition go hand in hand. The nutrition program best suited for you will depend on what you are training for. I am rules-based with flexibility so I understand your comments and question perfectly. You eat to optimize your training results. Not enough 'training data' in your question/comment to develop a…

Others addressed calories so let me address the weight training. Lifting 6 days a week can be a challenge in more ways than one. I assume your trainer has you on a bro split which means you are working one or two muscle groups each day, giving each muscle group one workout per week. There are pros and cons to a bro split.…

Could be a number of things. For example, not all calories are equal. Second, macronutrients (protein, fat, carbs) have different energy metabolism rates. Third, alcohol will cut in line, in front of your existing energy sources and cause existing energy sources to be stored. Fourth, different macronutrients make you feel…
