  • Your BMR is pretty close to 1900, so I wouldn't do anything less then that... and if you exercise, make sure you eat the calories back. Try not to go below 1900.
  • Find out what your BMR and TDEE are and stay within those numbers.
  • Your calorie intake is to low. Find out what your BMR and TDEE are. Keep your calories above your BMR.
  • Sounds like someone needs to learn how to cook their own food.
  • Oven Roasted Chicken - Wheatbread,Amercheese,Spinach,Lettuce,Tomato,Pickle,Olives,Jalapenos,Mustard and Steak & Cheese - Wheat,Amercheese,Spinach,Tomato,Olives,Jalapenos,BuffaloSauce.
  • From the stats you posted your BMR is around 1450 and your TDEE is around 2000. Chose a deficit somewhere in the middle of those two numbers and you should be fine.
  • First you need to find out what your BMR and TDEE are. Don't eat below your BMR and subtract 15-20% from your TDEE in order to lose weight.
  • So you're doing a full body workout on each day? If so, like the others mentioned, it is usually a good idea to have a rest day in between a full body workout. Try not to workout the same muscle two days in a row. Your muscle uses the rest day to recover.
  • What's your lifting routine look like? Do you do compound exercises or concentrated split? How long is your lifting session?
  • Grill or bake some chicken over the weekend. Bag separately and freeze. Buy a bag of frozen mixed vegetables. In the morning, throw a piece of chicken and some veggies in a container. Microwave at work covered so the veggies get a bit steamed from the frost that it will have, pinch of salt/pepper and you're good to go.
  • Whole wheat pasta with marinara sauce and grilled or baked chicken. The pasta can help keep your energy up. Hope you feel better.
  • Check your TDEE to make sure that your maintenance calories are correct. I usually go here to check mine http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ The next time you feel like binge eating, try drinking a glass of water first. You could just be thirsty. I usually try and buy the biggest bag of frozen vegetables and…
  • As soon as my alarm sounds, I immediately get out of bed, turn off the alarm and head straight to the kitchen to grab some coffee. Try not to think about that bed. I'm always tired the first few minutes and really want to just stay in bed, but I keep moving...drink my coffee quick, brush my teeth, throw on my workout…
  • http://stronglifts.com/how-to-deadlift-with-proper-technique/ This is a good tutorial on how to do deadlifts properly. The only guy section at the gym is the mens locker room. All other places are for everyone. Don't let the idea of a guys section scare you away.

  • A cup of coffee will get me through my workout. On the fence about trying out NO Explode. Read and heard good things about it.
  • It takes time for your lungs to get used to it. I had severe asthma when I was about 16. Oddly enough it was the year I quit playing soccer. I was doing fine then. I believe all the running was helping me out. I started running again and it took me some time to get up to 2 miles and less time to double that. It took me a…
  • ^---what he said.
  • I think "Calisthenics" will be the closest that you'll find in the database.

  • In the "Cardiovascular" section under the exercise tab... search for strength training.
  • Heavy compound lifting. Just keep eating at a deficit and you won't gain much muscle mass. Look up 5x5 routines and chose one you like. I'm doing stronglifts at a caloric surplus on lifting days and equal to or slightly below on non lifting days and I'm losing fat. I haven't done any cardio since I started the 5x5 program…
  • Mansfield, here.

  • If you plan on starting stronglifts, then you should go ahead and start on it. If you can't lift a 45lb bar, then start with lower weight. Either with a small bar or a bar with afixed weights. Frankly, you will most likely be able to handle the oly bar on everything but overhead. I would recommend that if you are not doing…
  • If you're doing a full body workout, then it is generally recommended to take the next day off. If you're working out every day, then working on different muscle groups each day is generally recommended.
  • This may sound rediculous but you could try the food that you give to toddlers. Like baby food but with a little more texture.
  • Raw nuts are a good high calorie snack. Half a cup is somewhere between 300-400 calories. I sometimes buy the raw cashew, almond and cranberry mix from Target.
  • V8 for essential vitamins. Canned soups (blended if chunks are to big), like chicken and stars. Hope you find something that works. I can't imagine not being able to eat solid food for that long.
  • Take a look at the "Stronglifts 5x5 for woman" group. That's an excellent strength training program.
  • ^^^This. As long as you can do it with out breaking proper form, then go for it. Eventually, you'll need to drop the reps when you get to heavier weight, if you want to keep progressing.
  • I usually just add to water, but I have tried it with oatmeal and it wasn't bad. To the ladies asking about using whey protein... Most people including myself, will have a protein shake after lifting weights. It helps with the repair of muscle tissue. If you have the time it is better to just eat something, like eggs or…
  • very tired...possibly not eating enough or getting enough sleep. stiff, sore...possibly working out to much. he needs to add some rest days if he's constantly working out. he needs to stretch or warm up before workouts. famished...possibly not eating enough. Kind of hard to say without knowing how much he eats and what…
