Carb Balance. 70 calories

Give it 2 more weeks. At those calories you'll lose however you're probably retaining water. A high calorie day may be in order to possibly cause a whoosh a few days later.

get back into training the way you were just take it easy and work up to it dont just jump in there with all blazing right out of the gate.

For those, Unilateral single arm with the body supported with the other hand. Those are neutral grip. Just don't support yourself on the dumbell rack.

what is your height and weight?

yep, smart. As we age 1RMs are a thing of the past along with reps below 4.

Legs LOVE reps…..

Sit at a weekly calorie amount for 4-6 weeks and make calorie adjustments at that point. Any less time than that and you're dealing with water fluctuations

There is no mandatory exercise. Squats are a tremendous exercise for overall strength. As far a leg strength exercise, there are other exercises that target legs as good and sometimes even better. A properly executed leg press for example, plus while resting, you can do some calf raises by dropping your feet down and doing…

you can but it's not required. Those are good exercises you're doing for chest you could include chest dips also. What you can do instead is change the weight and reps each time. For instance, you may one day go lighter in the 8-12 range and then the next time 4 to 6 in a heavier weight. progressive overload will be the…

any treats. Zero junk food in my house. Im weak around it. My only treat is my home made chocolate protein popsicles. I live alone so no outside influences. Ever since i divorced it was a lot easier to lose fat.

good luck. Thats usually the culprit with muscle cramping.

I learned early to never use serving size as an entry, always look for either grams or ounces that allows you to accurately weigh things. your serving size and Joe Blow's who made the entry can be vastly different. Even if you use a gram or ounce entry from the database and it something you'll be eating or drinking often,…

Could be overall dehydration

a consistent weekly calorie deficit over time will always cause weight loss.

you're being way too vague on the way that you're counting and tracking your calories. You need to be a lot more accurate every day consistently. Bottom line after 4 to 6 weeks if there aren't any changes, then you're not in a deficit and you need to address that with either fewer calories or more activity or a combination…

hence why I said hip measurements CAN be the way to go for women not IS the way to go. However I am in agreement that stressing over body fat % is a waste of time especially with some of these ways people go about trying to figure it. The mirror and photos and some measurements combined with the scale will tell you all you…

waist measurement at the navel doesn't lie. For women hip measurements can be the way. If you measure both and track those thats about the best way to see if you're losing or not. Using calculators or smart scales can have a lot of variables that give you incorrect readings.

whatever amount of calories, you think you're actually taking in and what amount of calories you think you're actually burning are going to be secondary to the actual amount that your body is recognizing. If your weight is flat for 4 to 6 weeks and your waist measurement at the navel is not going down then you're not in a…

don't look at strength training for calorie burn it really doesn't burn that much. You're gonna want to look more at your diet at your weight. You can run a large weekly calorie deficit that will allow for a 2lb loss of fat per week. Some people at your weight will get more aggressive than that though. The strength…

How are you calculating fat% ?

when eating out just enjoy it. Go home think of the meal amd give your best guesstimate.

lol, you're not alone. Try not counting ANY exercise calories. Exercise can cancel out NEAT calorie burn. Your body doesn't know numbers, it only knows if it's being given energy to either gain mass lose mass or maintain mass. Maintaining mass=maintenance calories.

it reduces fiber in the diet, which is not really what you're after unless you're trying to deal with some type of bowel issues.

food ?

The more sedentary you are the more cardio comes into play. Actual Gym workouts don't really burn that many calories so look to your diet as the main driver for fatloss. In a deficit it's important to be doing strength training or you'll just look like a lighter version of your formal self due to losing muscle along with…

height, weight and age?

day-to-day weight will fluctuate are due to water retention. You want to use an app that you can input your daily weight and you do this every day consistently and it will show you the average so as long as that average weight every week is going down you're making progress. If in fact your average isn't going down after…
