I pretty much plan a bad day each week. I don't binge like 8000 calories or anything but I probably get 2500-3000. I just make sure I get a solid work out in that day, helps offset most of the damage, and it's something to look forward to as well as keep my cravings down.

I like using flavored creamers. Couple tablespoons is less than 100 calories and I get to enjoy my coffee every day still. I've just built it into my daily meal prep. Makes life easier and also saved me from my daily starbucks habits

Maybe up your calorie intake to 1500 or so. It would allow you to eat some of the things you're craving, in moderation of course and throw in 30-60 min of exercise a few days a week. Nothing gets my metabolism racing like a good day at the gym. I think you'd feel less deprived food wise and be able to avoid binges. The…

I'm not sure what the question here is but keep in mind the nutrition facts on things like meat are the macros for the meat PRIOR to cooking. So if you're weighing chicken, log the frozen weight. Same thing applies to pastas and other things that require cooking. The label lists uncooked portions/weights/nutrients

I'm 10 lbs heavier than my lightest last summer yet I look better and my waist size is back to what it was when I was scrawny in high school. Basically throw your scale out the window. It's the worst judgement of the progress you're making.

More cardio. That's what cut cycles are centered around. Do some reading.Doing 20 min of cardio (200 cals) and whatever weight lifting is going to be very slow progess. Most people aim to achieve much higher cardio burns when cutting and they only do their weight lifting program to maintain what they currently have, so…

Anything high in fiber. Gives me terrible gas :(

Breakfast is usually my biggest meal, especially on days where I go running before. Lunch, Dinner and the snack for the day are usually about the same calorie wise.

The nutritional information on the package is "as is", so you need to weigh your meats prior to cooking them to get accurate information. A common issue people have, they over eat very quickly thinking they can weigh their cooked burger

I'm actually really excited to have more time for the gym once classes wrap up in a month, besides splurging a bit on Thanksgiving and Xmas day the holidays don't present much of a challenge. I don't have a hard time turning down sweets, they never really did much for me, however fast food is still a crutch but I try to…

There are a small number of people out there that can separate feelings from sex and are really good at it, most of us aren't and one of the two parties will move on before the other is ready. Drama ensues and it makes it difficult. I've had a couple, it just gets really complicated

1. Feeling like I'm someone's top priority 2. Having someone to share the bed with 3. Share life experiences with

Sad part is, 6 months in a gym and eating right and she wouldn't have needed any of that stuff done. Sounds like she may have some issues (or deep pockets) and the doc liked his end result.... on the other hand they probably have true love and deep chemistry because after all beauty is on the inside right? /sarcasm

Yes!! Very important to be able to have something to add to that conversation lol. Girls passing out or getting sick during said act is never fun. I promise it's because they were drunk ..... I hope... haha

It's Thursday... *taps foot*

This is a large part of it. Women who show interest back are great. However we don't ask nor expect you to adopt our lifestyle. I expect a woman in my life to have a life independent of what I'm doing and our common ground is what brings us together. I'm all about people bettering themselves with their other half, but when…

I'm not a lady but do you see him often outside of your dating/friendship hang outs? If not, as in it won't hurt a work atmosphere or business, then I'd let go of it entirely. He sounds aweful, no guy should take about other girls like that and he has super big baggage still lingering from his ex. He's not dateable right…

Sounds to me like you did the right thing, if your heart isn't there it just won't happen. What he said seemed quite desperate though, I guess see how that goes but likely you'll have to give him the cold shoulder if he continues to make it weird

He wants a lot more than you're willing to give. This will ultimately destroy your friendship because either A) you'll date someone else and he'll become a ghost, or B) he'll meet someone else and walk away. Why are you so reserved about giving him a chance? You ARE single after all, if you have a legit reason against him…

1. I would. Minor reservations there because lets face it, experience counts, but I turned away from a potential relationship a few years ago because the girl was a virgin and I regret it. I think there is some stigma to being someone's first and that scared me away. 2. Obviously I would like to know. I think I would be…

That's kind of an over dramatic line for barely knowing each other. either that or very immature when it comes to dating. I'm a fan of leaving your past in the past and exploiting the hell out of your time here and now. Get to know the guy, visit him again and see if that chemistry is still there. I take it that it's long…

I read an article similar to this the other day and they were referring to college not daily life. I still feel like casual sex is way more prevalent now than in the past. I think the study is just misguided because most people still associate relationship status with FWB rather than just "hook ups" because they justify…

It's always flattering. I just take it with a smile and don't recipricate the flirting or keep it very toned down.

I think your topic is very normal. I have a few good female friends at work that I shoot relationship advice to and they bounce their issues off me as well. There's certainly nothing going on there but it is really nice to have a 3rd party to talk to outside the relationship . Obviously there is a fine line here of what is…

I never talk on the phone much either, just the way things go these days. I think you two should give things a chance and talk about what you're wanting out of this. 10 dates is a bit much to not know what you want at this stage.... either you shouldn't be dating at all yet or you have some major reservations about this…

I agree to a degree. There are certain people who just mesh really well together and makes the relationship feel effortless. With that said there will always be hurtles to overcome and fights to be had at some point, I think it's more of how you handle those and move past them that really makes that person shine

It's a product of your choice of hang outs. People go to bars to drink, not order soda or water. And for your lifestyle you shouldn't be interested in meeting people there. You should be meeting people at the gym or exercise events.

The only thing slowing people down is themselves. Plain and simple. Eat less, workout more, just do it

I don't really find this to be true, even thinking about the couples I know it doesn't apply to any of them. Me personally I'm drawn to girls who have lots of traits I don't (dark hair, dark eyes, short, etc)
