so much incorrect info here

Yes, That is the normal amount no real need to go higher however some people eat way below that amount, sometimes for good reason. Reason being that if you"re overweight 1G per lb is too much. Figure protein by your lean weight. If someone is getting insufficient protein based on their lean weight then it's a problem and…

Not concerened with weight but want to strip BF. I'm not following....

That’s more than a pound a week and since you’re not super heavy that will be difficult. Shoot for less.

There is a misunderstanding regarding protein amounts that it’s for those that want to be muscular when in reality it’s all about retaining muscle, especially as you age. Muscle atrophy is one of the biggest issues for the aging population. As we age, Muscle Protein Synthesis becomes more difficult so insufficient protein…

For many, 100 G would be way too little

No reason to do plant based from a dietary standpoint. If it’s ethical that’s a personal choice. Fatloss is all about consistently taking in fewer calories than you burn wether you’re taking in plants or animals or a combo of both

Weight management comes down to how many weekly calories you take in in a week. When I was swimming competitively it was heavy on carbs, lots of bananas and other fruits. I needed an obscene amount of calories so I ate whatever I could get my hands on.

weekly is the magic number. You’ll never perfectly hit your daily goal so that is why weekly is what to look at .

Tracking apps are inaccurate for a multitude of reasons. If your weekly exercise routine is even semi consistent just figure it into your overall weekly TDEE.

most doctors have no clue regarding nutrition

Protein should be figured in grams and not percentages of your overall calories. Protein timing unless you’re a hard-core bodybuilder doesn’t really matter just as long as you get your target amount in every day.

What kind of lift

Whatever your goal weight is take in around .7 to 1 gram per pound. Don’t go off of your current weight. Figure macros in grams and not percentages

Go get a 50 pound backpack and walk around with it all day. You’ll begin to see how much more energy it takes to lug around that 50 pounds so you need to drop your calories by 100 to 200 a day to continue to lose however, the leaner you get the slower, you wanna take it

What are your goals and what is your height and weight? Instead of stretching before you train do a light full ROM set for each body part instead.

A pound of muscle only burns around 6-8 calories a day so the “ the more muscle you have the more you can eat” statement is highly exaggerated.

80 lbs of loss and your calorie needs change. Try dropping 100-200 calories a day.

Raw always. Different cooking times affect water weight in meat so it makes things inaccurate. You want to be as accurate as possible especially with foods that you eat on a consistent basis.

Yes, what was the problem? Without that info nobody can give you a valid opinion

in order to build muscle you must work on progressive overload, progressively overloading a muscle through heavier weight as you progress. Rep range will be in the 8-12 range normally with an occasional session slightly higher or lower. Once you can do your reps with a certain weight without challenge you will increase…

lol

you have to be careful with diet breaks. If your losses are fairly consistent and you’re feeling good about everything there is no reason to take a break as you lose your momentum then the fatloss train has to pull out of the station again and get up to speed again. They can also cause fat gain if you aren’t careful. It’s…

Lol, Intermittent Fasting sounds so much sexier than the Skipping Breakfast diet.

If it’s working don’t mess with it. There is no starvation mode and your body doesn’t “get used to it”.

You have a decent amount to lose so 1500 is fine, you’re carrying a lot of stored energy. Sit there for 4-6 weeks and then review how those calories are working. 90% of the time people under figure their true weekly calorie amounts so your daily average in reality will be higher than you think you’re taking in.

What don'you want to blow? Understand the Intermittent Fasting is no special way to lose fat. Fatloss still comes down to your weekly caloie deficit and nothing to do with meal timing or any kind of fasting periods. If IF causes you to take in fewer overall weekly calories then it works however if you arent in a weekly…

fasted cardio does nothing and that much water does nothing for fatloss and is unnecessary and can be dangerous and dropping 5-10 lbs of bodyweight? Where are you getting this information?

It depends on many factors but mostly on how big of a weekly calorie deficit you run. Smaller deficit will take longer, bigger deficit you lose faster however there is a limit there as to how big a calorie deficit is practical. If you take in 500 fewer calories a day than you burn you rate of loss will be 4 lbs per month.

It’ll be an inside job. When you truly WANT to lose the fat you’ll stop binging.
