  • I average about 300 cals for breakfast lunch and dinner. I add another 300-400 in snacks about 2 hours after each meal. Usually a high fiber, low fat granola bar. Maybe wheat thins or some peanuts, counted of course. If I can replace the full, bloated feelings i was having after meals with a mild hunger once in a while,…

  • It helps once you stop watching weight and start watching measurements. MFP may not be the best tool tool for body builders who are trying to add muscle mass. It's a really good tool for people trying to drop pounds. I agree that MFP works to track increases in sets and weight lifted. I don't log strength as cardio because…

  • I agree. There's no reason to start at such an intense level. It causes stress and stress makes you retain fat. The key is commitment to regular work outs, building a routine of going to the gym and enjoying it. Intense work outs will get you there faster but not if it makes you avoid the gym. Muscle pain?

  • What's his solution? If he was using the manly method, and it was working, he would have a point.. I think MFP works great for men.

    in How much weight have you lost? Comment by albuslux February 2012
  • If you are burning all the calories as fuel I wouldn't worry about going over, you will lose weight. If you are trying to add muscle mass, not definition but truly bigger muscles, you NEED protein. I try to exceed the protein goal and I don't worry about going too high. Don't worry about it.
