google has thiis neat little tool where you can type in a conversion and it tells you!!!!!! 1 cup in fl oz ta da

I'm not an unhealthy weight so it's purely cosmetic haha. Cute clothes and looking good naked.

Forget the word "tone". It's not a real thing. All it means is your muscles showing more clearly through your fat in skin, so basically, it's losing fat. What kind of free weights does your gym have? Those are the ones you want to get on to start a lifetime of good strength training habits. Don't bother with weight…

I love tofu! It's not a health food at all though. I wouldn't it eat in large amounts or every day. I like to marinate cubed tofu in soy sauce, brown sugar, and chilli paste for a couple hours, then pan fry in olive oil.

7. The people prioritizing subtraction over addition or vice versa forget that they have the same priority haha. Same as multiplication and division.

female, 5'4", weight 115. I deadlift 135lbs (1 plate) for a set of 5. Due to surgery I can't lift weights for like, a year though :(

Why I drank protein shakes when I lifted weights: - Huge amount of protein in a very quick and easy form. I would have to eat like 2 chicken breasts to get that much protein, which is NOT something I feel like doing after the gym - The brand I bought had 'complete' proteins, ideal for muscle recovery - Saves time Why I…

It makes absolutely no difference when you eat. The human metabolism is not so delicate that not eating breakfast, or eating right before bed, will change anything.

Surprise! dietary fat =/= body fat. What makes you fat is eating too many calories, often in combination with too many simple carbs.

I've been on an unintentional 500 calorie diet because of recent painkillers basically erasing my appetite and causing food to make me ill. It's a quick way to lose weight I'll tell ya what lol... but you are losing a lot of muscle and slowly going to do long term damage to your body and metabolism. While 'starvation mode'…

1) Set your activity to Sedentary. Unless you're a daily athlete it's probably true. 2) Drink enough water and not too much sodium - water retention is evil. 3) Don't weigh yourself more than once week, otherwise poop or food or water in your system will make you think you've gotten fatter. Remember... if you don't eat…

Aiming for a size to please the opposite gender (or the same gender depending on oritentation, or anyone really) is stupid. Do what makes you happy or you'll always be upset with what you see in the mirror, and/or have a partner who doesn't respect your control over your body. Also, the notion that "men only like real…

People using multiple piece of equipment at once, and moving between them. Sorry, I'm not going to wait 15 minutes to squat just because you read somewhere that circuit training is the only way to get fit. There are actually multiple people at my gym who do this! I have to stop them every time.

How about you leave them alone? I understand the sentiment of wanting to help disordered girls (though some go too far and say it is "disgusting"... get over yourself, it's a mental illness) but they are not going to take advice from internet superheroes or feel like eating healthy when their account is deleted. As someone…

145. may not sound huge but I am a little person and this was when I was 13-14 years old. Currently 113lbs

I like a big cup of black, black coffee.

I don't care. I wear tight shorts to the gym and if I couldn't find seamless panties then so be it, it's just a bum. Same for others

I have no sense of smell.

the cholesterol in eggs does not affect the 'bad' cholesterol in humans. load up!

buy a kitchen scale, it is completely necessary for strict calorie counting unless you only eat things straight out of packages. Cheese, peanut butter, butter, etc. For something like that I'd put the bowl of oatmeal on the scale, turn it on so it's at 0, then spoon in pb until it reaches the amount I've set (usually 10g).

I have been using it less and less, I think mainly because I just know how many calories are in the things I eat now. At my goal weight I will still drop in from time to time to log meals I'm not familiar and check up on my intake if I've lost track.

Strength training is super beneficial for weight loss and general health, and it's really fun imo. You can do cardio anywhere with little to no equipment, but the best strength training (imo) requires barbells and dumbbells. For weight loss you can not work out a single day and lose all the weight, it's all down to eating…

Lift heavy weights, eat high protein, no processed or direct sugar. That said, I do eat the sugar in milk, fruits etc, but as little as possible. I also allow myself a sugary treat on Fridays, today it was a mocha frappuccino :-) I also eat low carb in general. I've never found weight loss hard, you just need to eat less.…

From what I've read, not really. While it may be optimized for absorption and have artificial sweeteners, at the end of the day it is protein that will not magically make you bulky and strong, just like eating a chicken breast or drinking milk. It is a streamlined way to get lots of protein into your diet. I'm not saying…

haha, for a second I thought this was going to be a drama inducing thread about furries in diapers... what a relief

I don't eat breakfast but when I used to my favourites were: poached eggs on a bed of rindless bacon and wholemeal toast oats with peanut butter oats with chocolate protein powder mixed in fruit smoothie made with green tea instead of juice protein shake & banana

Heavy weight lifting 3x a week If I'm full of energy and time I'll do cardio on rest days at random, usually some fort of HIIT. The idea of sweating it out in the gym 5 times a week on cardio equipment is really silly to me! But I guess it works for those people.

"Not exactly looking to bulk up" made me smile. Protein is the BEST macronutrient for losing weight, in the sense that is the lowest calorie when you consider the thermal effect of food. It just also happens to be good at repairing muscle - which only make you bulky if you life HEAVY weights, and are MALE. I am lifting…

81 grams of sugar?? LOL. I felt bad about having 30g yesterday including fruit and milk.

This seems odd to me as I have scheduled work outs... In January I will lift weights 13 times and do HIIT cardio 9 times.
