I do 1g per pound of body weight.

Depends on your body too. I dont limit carbs, however if I eat bread, even 100% whole wheat bread, its hard to lose weight even with keeping within my calories. I switched to ezekiel bread, thats not made with flour, and the weight started coming off. Maybe its the gluten in floured bread, I dont know.

Doesnt the 5x5 program tell you to start with just the bar and then add 5 pounds each workout?

Youre not going to find a food that gives you the same protein bang for your calorie buck. Thats why people use the powder, its a good dose of protein with minimal calories. I dont consider protein powder a supplement, its just a food,

That really wont happen. Youre calories are made up of either carbs, protein or fat so if you hit your limit on all three of those then you will also be at your limit on calories. The only way you will be under on your calories is to be under on either carbs, fat or protein.

But all of those things you just mentioned involve doing things to others. If i take drugs, that is my decision and doesnt harm you or take away from your liberties. Prostitution, gay mariage, same thing. Of course it is illegal to harm others or steal from others but that has less to do with morals and more to do with…

Im going to stick to my workout routines, and eat like the fat pig I used to be.

\ Yea, I was going to mention him too. He drinks his morning urine everyday.

Yes, children. it clearly says on the can that its not for people under 18. Parents need to watch what they buy for their kids. I dont know too many 12 year olds that can afford to buy $3 a can energy drinks.

I drink the lo carb monsters most of the time but every now and then I will get a redbull because there is nothing that tastes better imo. I dont drink coffee or tea so thats not an option for me. I dont see the problem really. Everyone has their thing. If you want to drink an energy drink every morning to wake up I dont…

I cut down a little. I only snort a few lines a day now, pre workout.

I have the solution to the black panthers. They may come if they want, but they dont scare my bullets.

Its not looking good. Romney needs to win Florida and my state of Ohio otherwise hes done.

Just depends on the person. Sodium is different for everyone. It doesnt effect me much at all so i pay almost no attention to sodium intake. I do have a sodium goal as part of my food log but I go over that goal every single day. I had over 1000mg of sodium today at breakfast. My wife on the other hand has to watch it…

That is the best approach, especially when just starting out. You can always change your macro goals in time as you learn more and see how your body responds to different things. Focus on calories first, then worry about the macro ratios as you move forward.

Macros are Protein, Carbs and Fat. Going over on your protein is not bad as long as you are still within your calorie goal. In fact, going over on any of your Macros is not a big deal as long as you are within your calories. MFP tends to set your protein goal too low anyway in my opinion so going over the MFP protein goal…

I have a mountain dew almost daily with my diner and I drink Monsters at work, granted I do the diet lo carb monster but still. As others have said, there is nothing wrong with having a soda if you can fit it into your daily calorie plan.

When you workout, your goal changes. Match the green.

I wouldnt say anything at all.

I eat the same thing. I eat a lot of Tilapia, usually 8oz servings a few times a week and I also eat 3 or 4 cans of Tuna a week. I dont worry about mercury at all.

Ive never used a manual one but I can tell you that I have a large treadmill that I paid $1300 for and its not even that suitable for running. I have to adjust the belt a few times a week. My guess is that a manual one will be even worse. I have read that if you plan to run on a treadmill you need to spend at least $2000…

Mine is open, but I can honestly say I really dont care what anyone has to say about what I eat and also I have never, not even once, looked at someone elses diary.

blah blah blah, meat is murder. Blah blah blah, meat is torture. Dont care. Eat what you want and leave me the hell alone. Im going to continue to eat meat because not only does it taste good but its good for you. Like everything else, its over eating that isnt good. Anyone that says eating any amount of meat is bad for…

Animals and people are not the same at all. Talk about a dumb-*kitten* comment. Killing animals is in no way shape or form, murder. I eat meat because its good. I dont care if they are cute or how bad it makes some people feel. I will walk through a chicken farm eating a bucket of KFC.

I was really hoping Romney was going to name him as VP. Im not a big fan of Romney so having West as his running mate would have been great. I understand why Romney didnt go with a guy like West though. If he did, the VP would outshine the President. Definitely want to see West run in the near future.

You might have gone over your goal by 500 calories but your goal was probably a 500-1000 calorie deficit right? So you really didnt go over you just made your deficit smaller, or went over by very little.

Many guys, such as myself, prefer a woman to be thick. I just dont find really skinny to be attractive. However, words mean different things to different people so I would never tell a woman she is thick because I dont know what that means to here. Thats one of those things I just keep to myself. I might think someone is…

I guess for me the bottom line is I am a Conservative guy. The basis of Conservatism is less Government involvement in peoples lives. So a person can not in one breath tell me they are Conservative and then in the next breath tell me all the things they want to ban. So anyone that thinks the Government should tell people…

Yes but you kind of missed my point. You live by your convictions. There are things you do or dont do because in your heart you know its wrong. So if someone else lives the same way you do, only they do it out of fear of persecution, doesnt that cheapen the way you live? I think it does. You are making choices out of…

I feel your pain. It sucks. I wake up every morning stuffed up, sore throat, sneezing etc.. And nothing works. Ive tried every medication known to man and nothing does any good at all. Its hard for people that dont suffer from these allergies to understand but its hard to even enjoy life sometimes because all you can think…
