I have, post workout... 35g of protein with 10g dextrose... If its a rest day, or Im doing Cardio in the PM, I drop the protein and dextrose, and add it after my run. About a half hour or so after that I have breakfast.... Cup of Bran Flakes 1/2 cup of All Bran 4-6 Strawberries 1.5 cup skim milk scoop of metamucil 4 fish…

+1 FTW!

In the AM for lifting... and I mean 4:30am... find helps wake me up, and I can hit every exercise I need to do, and not have to wait for meatheads (you know the ones i mean) who are pissn around, I can focus so much better. And 3pm at my gym is retarded, its a fashion show, and asshat convention... i cant stand it!! AM is…

I was tossing that one round my head too... and what you all said makes perfect sense!

OMG that sounds tasty... I hope the sell it in Canada....

i use a TDEE calculator, that incorporates exercise into the equation, by using a multiplier. That way I manually enter my TDEE into MFP, and exercise is included in my total calories for the day. I only enter exercise to log that i have done it, and i put that I burned 1 calorie, this way MFP doesn't mess with your…

What??

Save your $$...dont buy the predators garbage...

Save your money and make healthy food choices! Calories in less than calories out n you will lose weight... Everyone is preying on the fact that you will ignore this simple equation, and the hope you do as they take the money from your pocket while your back is turned...

The number on the scale is jus that...a number....meaningless, really in terms of weight loss...there are so many variables...measurements, reflection in mirror, fit of clothes, etc... are a much better, and less obsessive way of seeing results. Get rid of your scale for a week n see how it goes.

That sounds like light to moderate activity to me. Depending on how intense your workouts are. You may want to choose lightly active first to set your goals and see how that goes. If you find you are losing too much, consider going up to moderate activity, and see how those cals workout for ya. It s a balancing act , might…

The sad thing is, in todays society that crap will sell... very, very sad.

Bingo!

Protein macros seem low for cutting fat, and maintaining Lean Muscle.. Im at 130, not close to my body weight (190lbs), only at 23% actually. Is this accurate, Im assuming the repartition is daily intake. Doing a total body compound w/o 3 days a week, and running 3 days... Only used 1.5 as my activity modifier for now.

BUMP!!! SHOULD BE A STICKY without a doubt! Great job.

Close to the MFP prediction too actually... and as always dont take these numbers as set in stone. Today in 45 mins of training with light weights i was 240 cals according to the Live Strong calc. and about 192 in MFP... Not a bad guess, but its jus that. Be interesting to see when i get my HRM!

Great post, couldn't agree more! CHEATS FTW!

Your choice, but make sure you at least eat back your BMR. Which ever comes first.

As long as you hit your macros, and ya dont go way over your caloric intake, it doesnt matter when you eat... Similar to Barreira, I eat my last snack at 8pm every night... just stay away from crap choices... I do however front load my intake, I eat the most cals at breakfast, and it drops from there. By the time i have an…

I always do!

Dont sweat it... Stay away from refined sugar... a couple fruits a day, n veggies isnt gonna bust your fat loss apart

It underestimates macros... Just like how it underestimates caloric intake etc.... I have adjusted all of my macros, etc in MFP. It has worked great to date! You can adjust these in the goals tab. Mine was always low, I adjusted by bringing carbs down and adding to protein until I was at or just above 1 gram per lbs of…

If you are new to exercise, I would def see a doctor before starting anything. Maybe intensity was too high, slow down, start slow, it is not a race, and working out a higher intensity right off the hop, will only set you up for failure. You could hurt yourself, etc. Starting slow gives you ample room to improve!

What is your TDEE? Are you Active? Weight loss is not linear, you cant expect a loss every week...t that is a bad mind set to get trapped into. There are a whole whack of reasons why you may not have lost weight. The fact that you did not gain or gain a few pounds is great in itself When upping cals, it should be done…

Call your Doctor and tell him.
