You need to eat more ,but healthy,yes your body is asking for more fuel,I would say keep a healthy balance and increase your protein,approximately 1 gram to 1 lb. body weight per day.The only way to increase muscle mass is to feed the muscle,you shouldn't gain any fat as long as you're eating healthy and exercising…

Welcome,been to a few others myself,this one is pretty awesome.

I'm a Gemini!

Here Here damn straight!

I did the same thing,fell off for three months and only gained 1 lb back,then started noticing a few more lbs gained.Be carefull brother it will catch up to you.I got back on about two weeks ago,I still need to loose another 20 and I think the off period was a good test to see if once I loose it I can maintain it.also I…

sounds like you're burning a lot of calories,are you tracking them,and are you eating enough?

Go for high cal healthy foods,and you should keep your cardio minimal and pump some iron heavier the better. Whole Milk bannannas protein powders protein drinks

Also you will burn a lot of calories after a HIIT work out!,I usually count what I burn on my HRM for about the next ten minutes after completion,some say you can count even more.

If you have a HRM ,you can change the Cal count to meet your actual registered count from your HRM.

Sunday - 0 Monday - 0 Tuesday - 0 Wednesday - 10 Miller light Thursday - 0 Friday - 12 Miller light or at least that is the plan anyway!

anything out of the ordinary can be counted,if you clean house everyday you should probably change from sedentary to the next level,or if it's pretty strenuous you could probably count it,specially if you have an HRM. Otherwise,I would just kinda keep it in the back of my head and stick with the norm.

Welcome!

Cool ,thanks!

That's when the CC really comes in handy,getting in a good work out definitely helps.I try to be very limited on my first few meals,then eat something like a turkey dog mustard on a piece of wheat bread just before starting to drink,then the trick is to not eat after the party,and carefull not to binge the next day due to…

Don't really understand the crust,what brand is it,and where can you get it?

A woman after my own heart!!! lol:drinker:

Yeah ten is all I can tolerate on a week night,but I'm still working on it!:drinker:

I agree,600 easy maybe even a little more sounds like an hour of HIIT,so you burned a little more when you were done.

I think 2500 is an amount that is standard and healthy for a diet,good question though,if you are consistently going over by 1000 that is probably a big part of your plateu issue,specially if you are lifting hard. My two cents!

Two more thoughts for ya, Are you getting to much are not enough protein? Also I have a pretty tough boot camp routine if your interested,send me your e-mail address and I'll send it to youit's an attachment.

Been there done that,matter of fact haven't lost a lb in about three weeks. The gym time will definitely add some muscle ,also you retain lot's of water if you are pumping iron specially if it's new to you. do you have the CC adding up your sodium,if not do,and stay under. Make sure your drinking lots of water. Also are…
