Hehe, yup, those PCP muffins were another creation of mine (did you sprinkle them with angel dust?). I <3 baking

Don't you think vegetables have feelings too? They cry every time you bite into them, you just can't hear it because you're too busy chewing! Stop eating them :(
-
probably because you should be eating more...

Why not just put yourself on an IV drip? Don't need to eat AND you get the calories. Win!

Forget the diet, eat the whole bag of chips and the whole jar of dip. Actually, make that two bags of chips. And while you're at it, another jar of dip wouldn't hurt either, you know, for when that first jar runs out. Oh, and melt some cheddar cheese on top! And sprinkle some paprika over the whole thing. Though I wouldn't…

perseverance

Maybe the author of the recipe had used different brands of the same ingredients? The nutritional content does vary slightly from brand to brand.

Oh boy, my first time joining a challenge on MFP. Alright, abs, game on!

2.1g sugar per cookie :)

It's worked really well for me thus far, so I'd recommend it. Go at your own pace, take plenty of breaks, keep at it, and you'll get fit!

I'd like to comment that I posted the original article to show you guys how to do the math yourself and to give you a better understanding of your caloric needs. The calorie and macronutrient recommendations I gave to bazfitness and androde were derived from using the formulas in the original article. I do not somehow just…

Yeah, most people don't get enough protein in their diets. Consuming 1 g protein per pound LBM is the minimum recommended amount to maintain muscle while losing fat. In other words, 1 lb muscle requires 1 g protein per day. I have no clue how many calories you're burning from exercise. I was able to estimate androde's…

it's easy if you make food that tastes good. the extra time and effort required to cook is totally worth it when you have a delicious and healthy meal(s) at the end

rolled oats + rice milk (or any other kind of milk). really filling and keeps me satisfied for a long time. if you've never heard of seitan, check that out. it's vegan, easy (and cheap) to make, takes on any flavor you give it, and high in protein. don't buy the pre-made stuff because it's ridiculously expensive and tastes…

Assuming MFP is correct about your BMR (it sounds close to me), you should be burning approximately 200-300 from your sedentary lifestyle, 100-200 from additional exercise, and 200-300 from eating. 1600 + 250 + 150 + 250 = 2250 Using the really simple method of multiplying body weight by 12-14 calories for a sedentary…

Starting strength!! That's what my personal trainer has me doing. I'm really enjoying it so far
-
At the risk of over-simplification, you should aim to consume 70-80% of your TDEE made up with: 1g protein per pound total weight 0.5g fat per pound total weight And the remainder is carbs If you post your stats, lifestyle, average exercise/day, and the numbers you've calculated, I can look at them and try to give more…

What are you confused about?
-
2000+ calories gogogo! :D I'm averaging 2300/day. You're all welcome to add me if you wish

Ask your gym if they do body fat % or body comp testing.
-
The online ones were far off the mark for me. Skinfold calipers are the way to go! A nice one I've tried is the accu-measure caliper. It's just a one-site (iliac crest) skinfold test, so it's not the most accurate in the world, but it's far better than going by girth measurements alone like the online calculators do AND…

A novel?? As in, several hundred pages?? I'm far too much of an adhd person to dedicate that much time to fanfiction. Very impressed
-
Not many people know that I love to toss salads.
-
Absolutely! <3 sweet potato. I think I'd leave out the cardamom and increase the nutmeg to 1/2 tsp if using sweet potato. But that's just me. Play around with the spices!

Glad to see someone got the reference :)

15% BF in women (especially around my age, 22) is healthy, although it isn't recommended for the general population simply because it is rather low. It's when you get closer to 10% that physiological changes start happening (no menstrual cycle, hormonal imbalance, etc.). This is the accu-measure body fat % interpretation…
-
Same here! I'd love some support from other people who aren't concerned about their weight and are focused on body fat percentage instead. Currently at 18.0%, goal is 15%.
-
You can definitely do it!

perhaps get your partner to help with the kids or cooking or something? not sure how to help with reducing the stress of your private life since I've never experienced any of that myself. on the weight loss front, here's an awesome motivation technique that has worked well for me thus far:…
